The sample config should be in [__JSON__](http://www.json.org/) format
- First field should have the key __"samples"__
- Second field should contain the __"libraries"__
- Third field contains __"R1" or "R2"__ or __"bam"__
- The fastq input files can be provided zipped and un zipped
#### Example sample config
~~~
{
"samples":{
"Sample_ID1":{
"libraries":{
"MySeries_1":{
"R1":"Youre_R1.fastq.gz",
"R2":"Youre_R2.fastq.gz"
}
}
}
}
}
~~~
- For BAM files as input one should use a config like this:
~~~
{
"samples":{
"Sample_ID_1":{
"libraries":{
"Lib_ID_1":{
"bam":"MyFirst.bam"
},
"Lib_ID_2":{
"bam":"MySecond.bam"
}
}
}
}
}
~~~
Note that there is a tool called [SamplesTsvToJson](tools/SamplesTsvToJson.md) this enables a user to get the sample config without any chance of creating a wrongly formatted JSON file.
### The settings config
The settings config enables a user to alter the settings for almost all settings available in the tools used for a given pipeline.
This config file should be written in JSON format. It can contain setup settings like references for the tools used,
if the pipeline should use chunking or setting memory limits for certain programs almost everything can be adjusted trough this config file.
One could set global variables containing settings for all tools used in the pipeline or set tool specific options one layer deeper into the JSON file.
E.g. in the example below the settings for Picard tools are altered only for Picard and not global.
~~~
"picard": { "validationstringency": "LENIENT" }
~~~
Global setting examples are:
~~~
"java_gc_timelimit": 98,
"numberchunks": 25,
"chunking": true
~~~

#### References
Pipelines and tools that use references should now use the reference module. This gives some more fine-grained control over references.
E.g. pipelines and tools that use a fasta references file should now set value `reference_fasta`.
Additionally, we can set `reference_name` for the name to be used (e.g. `hg19`). If unset, Biopet will default to `unknown`.
It is also possible to set the `species` flag. Again, we will default to `unknown` if unset.
