... I use bakta regularly and like initially to have all the files (EMBL, faa, ffn, gbff, gff tsv etc.) in case some of my colleagues would like to browse or pipe them to other tools. However, with larger quantities of isolates, larger quantities of files, and I figured, not all of them needs to be backed up as they could all be re generated from the JSON.
The idea would be to have a small scripts that could be bundled with bakta (with the repo only) to import the JSON file and allow to write any of the standards bakta outputs files if they need to be regenerated...
