Pipeline overview

The key steps of the GeneParliamentID pipeline are:

1. Select genes with performance of species identification above user-defined threshold
2. Align each gene against reference, select top match based on highest Bit-score
3. Remove low-confidence matches that don't meet the user-defined alignment filtering thresholds
4. Summarise all remaining identifications to the Gene Parliament
5. Flag the sample as data-deficient if the number of genes (parliament size) is below the user-defined threshold
6. Select identification with most support as the top identification
7. Evaluate confidence in the top identification based on the percentage of genes supporting this identification

For a worked example using test data, see the Tutorial.
