Flow of work against the type of data

I have been trying to navigate this platform, specifically around the microbiome information. I have also watched a number of videos and articles around this topic, though I am having a difficult time. While I understand the uploading and how some of the tools work and run, I think it would be important to just know why I am running a tool and the data I am using. I would like help figuring out the workflow options. I have whole genome sequencing data for two samples from the environment. Based on the videos I can see that generally the flow is like upload, kraken2, bracken, MetaPhlan, Krona, Pavian(at illustrations). Elsewhere I am told I need to upload, Metaspades, Metabat, Bakta, Krona and the likes, and I am totally confused at this point. I need to identify the microbial communities present, the alpha diversity, visualization and also try and blast for a bacteria I anticipate to be present within the samples. Can I please get some help here.

Hi @Ivyrose_Mnialoh,
Are you familiar with Galaxy Training Network?

Many sections have Intro slides. The tutorials have a lot of information. Make sure you expand Details (grey) and Tips (yellow) boxes.

Kind regards,
Igor
