 # gunzip_fqgz_process
 
-The nextflow wrapper for the `gunzip` process.
+## This nextflow wrapper helps to implement `gunzip` process of a `fastq` pipeline that includes:
 
-https://github.com/nextflow-hub/trimmed_gunzip_fqgz
\ No newline at end of file
+1. Define a default parameter `params.trimmed=true`
+2. Check if the `inputRawFilePattern` is trimmed or untrimmed
+3. The `trimmed` file has `p` in the file pattern whereas untrimmed file does not have `p` in the file pattern
+4. Based on the file pattern the input parameter of the script is defined
+5. Execute the script to gunzip the input file using `gzip –dc` command and stores the output into the `publishDir`
+
+
+## Execute the script by using the following command:
+
+```nextflow run main.nf```
+
+You will see the execution of a `gzip` process.
+
+## Execute it again adding the -resume option as shown below:
+
+```nextflow run main.nf -resume```
+
+The -resume option skips the execution of any step that has been processed in a previous execution.
+
+## Adding a publishDir directive to the gzip process to store the process results into a directory of your choice.
+
+In this script, it stores the result files locally into `results/gzip` directory.
