Description

Description of feature

Hi, I'm trying to include protein sequences from many related species of worms for training protein-coding genes (I have no target protein sequence for target species), and after ran Nextflow (nf-core/genomeannotator) I got error message about --spaln_taxon.

Error

-[nf-core/genomeannotator] Pipeline completed with errors-
ERROR ~ A process input channel evaluates to null -- Invalid declaration `val spaln_taxon`

 -- Check script '/user/.nextflow/assets/nf-core/genomeannotator/subworkflows/local/spaln_align_protein.nf' at line: 38 or see '.nextflow.log' file for more details

I am unsure how many --spaln_taxon models should be specified when protein sequences from multiple related species are used. Is it possible to provide more than one taxon?

Research direction

Start by reading subworkflows/local/spaln_align_protein.nf at line 38 and the .nextflow.log output mentioned in the report. Reproduce the pipeline input that triggers the null spaln_taxon value, then establish whether multiple taxa are supported and what the completed behavior or documentation should show.
