Genome finishing and working with shared data
When run as individual tools, i.e. not within the context of a workflow, the following tools modify the original input data, rather than creating a new result element.
- Analyze Contigs
- Annotate from Reference
- Create Amplicons
- Create Primers
This means that when using these tools, caution should be applied if the data is accessible to multiple people. If more than one person is working on the same data element at the same time, changes made by one person could be overwritten by another.
This concern does not affect running these tools within a workflow. In that situation, the input data itself is not altered.
