[Question]: macs2 callpeak outputs - narrowPeak vs broadPeak

[tamuanand]

Hi,

I have a question on this line of code here

atacseq/modules/nf-core/macs2/callpeak/main.nf

Line 15 in 415795d

tuple val(meta), path("*.{narrowPeak,broadPeak}"), emit: peak

output:
tuple val(meta), path("*.{narrowPeak,broadPeak}"), emit: peak

If I am correct, this means that both *.narrowPeak and *.broadPeak are mandatory outputs expected by the process.

As far as I know, macs2 callpeak will only generate one or the other

• with --broad it will generate *_peaks.broadPeak file
• if you do not specify --broad, then it will generate *_peaks.narrowPeak

Am I missing anything?

@tamuanand It generates either, not both

Thanks @chlazaris
