Workflows
In CLC Genomics Workbench and Biomedical Genomics Workbench, you can link tools to one another to be processed in sequential order enabling repeated execution of a workflow. Working with workflows is described in detail in http://www.clcbio.com/files/tutorials/Workflow-intro.pdf.
The CLC Microbial Genomics Module contains two workflows that you can start here:
Toolbox | Workflows (
) | Data QC and OTU Clustering (
) or Estimate Alpha and Beta Diversities (
)
To explore a workflow and see the tools it is made of, select the workflow and right click on its name to select the Open Copy of Workflow option. They require that you provide the necessary input files and edit the parameter settings, and the workflow will output all relevant results. As many secondary analyses require metadata, the metadata has to be assigned to an OTU table between execution of the two workflows as described in 3.8.
