# Classify

This workflow automates the comparison of your genomes, Metagenome-Assembled Genomes (MAGs), or Single-Cell Amplified Genomes (SAGs) against a reference project for taxonomy.

A reference project has to be a separate MiGA project with a database of your choice, taxonomically annotated, and fully indexed. If you want to use the pre-processed database provided by MiGA Online, run:

```bash
miga download
```

To execute the workflow, run:

```bash
miga classify_wf -o my_project path/to/mags/*.fasta
```

For additional options, run:

```bash
miga classify_wf -h
```

## Expected output

Once your run is complete, you may expect the [standard summaries](https://manual.microbial-genomes.org/part6/summaries) for `cds`, `assembly`, `essential_genes`, and `taxonomy`, as well as a summary classification table (`classification.tsv`) with two columns: (1) the genome name, and (2) the space-delimited classification of the genome with taxon names prefixed by the rank code and a colon. Something like:

```
