Create MLST Scheme with Sequence Types

The Create MLST Scheme with Sequence Types workflow creates a MLST scheme from references and adds sequence types by typing references and adding the results to the scheme.

To run the Create MLST Scheme with Sequence Types workflow, go to

        Toolbox | Template Workflows (Image workflow_group) | Microbial Workflows (Image mgm_folder_closed_flat_16_h_p) | Typing and Epidemiology (Image typing_epi_folder_closed_16_h_p) | Create MLST Scheme with Sequence Types (Image create_large_mlst_wf_16_h_p)

You can select one or more assemblies as input (figure 2.30). At least one of the assemblies must be annotated with CDS regions.

In "Create MLST scheme" dialog (figure 2.31), the settings for the scheme creation can be viewed and changed.

The parameters that can be set are:

In "Add Typing Results to MLST scheme" dialog (figure 2.32), sequence types will be added to the scheme. In addition, the following parameters can be specified:

In the Result handling window, pressing the button Preview All Parameters allows you to preview - but not change - all parameters. Saving the output will generate the files shown in (figure 2.33) and optionally, a workflow result metadata table.
