Pipeline Parameters

Define where the pipeline should find input data and save output data.

ParameterDescriptionTypeDefaultRequiredHidden
inputPath to the input directory location.
HelpEnsure the data structure is respected. For more information, see the documentation
stringTrue
outdirThe output directory where the results will be saved. You have to use absolute paths to storage on Cloud infrastructure.
HelpFor a detailed description of the output files, please see the documentation.
stringresults_mouse

Major options.
