# QC:
11 sample failed QC phred scores before trimming and filtering; none failed after filtering and trimming. Filtering and trimming were executed as follows:

```
nextflow run kviljoen/fastq_QC --reads '/scratch3/users/katiel/Clinton/CRE_study_August_2022/raw/study_1A_B_combined/*_R{1,2}_001.fastq.gz' -profile ilifu
```
QC reports can be found in the 'files' tab

# AMR profiling
The preference from Clinton is to do AMR profiling with the ResFinder DB. I'm getting errors there that I think relate to the header formatting though so in the interim have run with the ARG_annot DB that we used for previous projects as:

## ARGannot
```
nextflow run kviljoen/uct-srst2 --reads '/scratch3/users/katiel/Clinton/CRE_study_August_2022/2022-09-19-fastq_QC/bbduk/*_{1,2}.fq' -profile ilifu --gene_db /cbio/users/katie/Nicol/Ps_aerug_srst2_MLST/ARGannot_r3.fasta --outdir /scratch3/users/katiel/Clinton/CRE_study_August_2022/srst2_ARGannot/coverage_80_run /scratch3/users/katiel/Clinton/CRE_study_August_2022/srst2_resFinder/coverage_80_run --min_gene_cov 80
```

## CARD DB:

This database is the recommended by srst2 and has been formatted by them already. The DB was downloaded with:

```
wget https://github.com/katholt/srst2/blob/master/data/CARD_v3.0.8_SRST2.fasta?raw=true -O CARD_v3.0.8_SRST2.fasta
```

Pipeline execution as:

```
nextflow run kviljoen/uct-srst2 --reads '/scratch3/users/katiel/Clinton/CRE_study_August_2022/2022-09-19-fastq_QC/bbduk/*_{1,2}.fq' -profile ilifu --gene_db /scratch3/users/katiel/Clinton/CRE_study_August_2022/ref_files/CARD_v3.0.8_SRST2.fasta --outdir /scratch3/users/katiel/Clinton/CRE_study_August_2022/srst2_CARD/coverage_80_run --min_gene_cov 80
```
