It is true that Atlas creates a lot of intermediate files.
In future I will try to change this and put everything in the intermediate folder.
Make shure you ran atlas to the end. In the latest version I added optional dram genecatalog annotation.
You should definitely keep
the assembly
from each sample folder. (Make shure you copy the assembly and not only the symlink)
Generally, keep the Output folders, stats, reports,Genecatalog, and genomes.
Yes you can remove bam files, and I think dram also creates some heavy intermediate files.
You can gzip all assemblies and the Genecatalog.
If this is of interest, There should be a file, all contigs2bins which should allow you to recreate all intermediate bins.
Make shure you have the stats/read_counts.tsv necessary to calculate mapping rate..
Hi Silas,
Thank you for your answer! If I would like to run dram genecatalog in the future on this project, do I need to keep the bam files in the Genecatalog/alignments
folder?
Not if you have the counts already. The format changed a little in the recent version. but if you have the counts and coverage in the counts folder.
Why not running the dram annotation now?
Note: If you want to run an analysis in future, atlas might complain that some of the intermediate files are missing or that they were updated.
I suggest you to do always a dryrun. Then you can also trigger the creation of specific targets via this command
atlas run None <target_file>
e.g.
atlas run None Genecatalog/annotations/dram
Hi Silas,
I have an unfinished project for which I ran the complete atlas pipeline, but haven't finished downstream analysis of the output yet. Now I have to remove files in order to free up space on the cluster. Any advice on what files to keep and which ones are intermediate files?
I haven't used the genecatalog output yet, but I assume the alignments are summarized in counts and I can remove the bam files?
And what about the folders per sample in the main directory? I have used the complete MAG set across all samples and used the DRAM output, but haven't used those folders yet.
Cheers, Sam
