purpose of --data in rgi main #272

Closed danpal96 closed 3 months ago

danpal96 commented 4 months ago

rgi main has the next option:

  -d {wgs,plasmid,chromosome,NA}, --data {wgs,plasmid,chromosome,NA}
                        specify a data-type (default = NA)

But I couldn't find what is the difference in the analysis if I use the different data types. Could you explain this to me?

The --data option is used to explicitly specify the data used. This information is used for the CARD variants downstream analysis. Cheers.
