VGP - Workflow 1: K-mer Profiling - Need 2 PacBio Hifi Files But I Only Have 1

Hello!

I’m an undergrad student, so please excuse me if there is a simple solution to this I’m not seeing.

I’m trying to run the first workflow–K-mer profiling–in the VGP-Galaxy Assembly Workflows Series by following this tutorial. The very first step of the K-mer profile analysis workflow says that it needs HiFi reads as a collection, but I only have one Hifi for my species. I can’t figure out how I am supposed to even start if I can’t get past the first step.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

Hi @adswann

To make sure I understand: a workflow that you want to use expects a collection input but you only have one sample. Yes?

If so, you can create a collection with just one sample. Follow the same building method.

Hope this helps and let us know if this works out or if you need more help. :slight_smile:

Hi!

Thank you, that did work! I don’t know why I didn’t think to try making a collection with just the one file… :sweat_smile: I appreciate the help!!

No worries! Thinking about the big details and getting stuck on the small ones is sort of an occupational hazard in bioinformatics! Any questions are welcome here, no judgement. :slight_smile:
