For each query (or its closest annotated homolog), it fetches ortholog lists from public databases, identifies synonymous identifiers based on sequences, calculates the agreement of the obtained predictions (pairwise and global) and finally generates a consensus list of orthologs with the desired level of confidence. Additionally, it generates a clean, human-readable report of the results.\n\n<!-- Tube map -->\n\n![nf-core-reportho tube map](docs/images/reportho_tube_map.svg?raw=true \"nf-core-reportho tube map\")\n\n1. **Obtain Query Information**: identification of Uniprot ID and taxon ID for the query (or its closest homolog if the fasta file is used as input instead of the Uniprot ID).\n2. **Fetch Orthologs**: fetching of ortholog predictions from public databases, either through API or from local snapshot.\n\nSteps 3 and 4 can be skipped with `--skip_merge`.\n\n3. **Fetch Sequences**: fetching of sequences of identified orthologs.\n4. **Merge Synonymous Identifiers**: identification of synonymous identifiers based on sequence identity.\n5. **Compare and Assemble**: calculation of agreement statistics, creation of ortholog lists, selection of the consensus list.\n6. **Generate Report**: human-readable HTML report generation.\n\n## Usage\n\n> [!NOTE]\n> If you are new to Nextflow and nf-core, please refer to [this page](https://nf-co.re/docs/usage/installation) on how to set-up Nextflow. Make sure to [test your setup](https://nf-co.re/docs/usage/introduction#how-to-run-a-pipeline) with `-profile test` before running the workflow on actual data.\n\n:::warning\nDue to an nf-test issue outside our control, the current version of the pipeline is not tested with Conda. Most functionality should work with Conda, but we cannot guarantee it. We will rectify this issue as soon as possible.\n:::\n\nFirst, prepare a samplesheet with your input data that looks as follows:\n\n```csv title=\"samplesheet_fasta.csv\"\nid,fasta\nBicD2,data/bicd2.fasta\nHBB,data/hbb.fasta\n```\n\nor if you know the UniProt ID of the protein you can provide it directly:\n\n```csv title=\"samplesheet.csv\"\nid,query\nBicD2,Q8TD16\nHBB,P68871\n```\n\n> [!NOTE]\n> If you provide both a FASTA file and a UniProt ID only the latter will be used.\n\nNow, you can run the pipeline using:\n\n```bash\nnextflow run nf-core/reportho \\\n   -profile <docker/singularity/.../institute> \\\n   --input samplesheet.csv \\\n   --outdir <OUTDIR>\n```\n\n> [!WARNING]\n> Please provide pipeline parameters via the CLI or Nextflow `-params-file` option.
