Changing order of genomes in DRAM distill HTML output

[iwilkie]

Hi,

As the title says I would like to set an order to the genomes in DRAM's distill output HTML file, as I want the matrix to match my other data.

I looked into the HTML file, and found that the following string appears 14 times (matching the number of grouped columns in the output):

"sort": ["genome1", "genome2", "genome3", "genomen"]

I did a quick find and replace of that string with the order of genomes I wanted, however the order then seemed to be random. It was no longer alphabetical, but it also didn't match the custom order I wanted. Is there any actual way to change the order of genomes within the HTML file?

Here is the top of the genome names as per the standard DRAM distill output:

I then modified the string in the html file (14 instances, replaced using find and replace):

"sort":["GCF_900097105.1_WK001_genomic", "GCF_018779965.1_ASM1877996v1_genomic", "GCA_021200315.1_ASM2120031v1_genomic", "GCA_021202695.1_ASM2120269v1_genomic", "GCA_020859585.1_ASM2085958v1_genomic", "GCA_947039485.1_ERR3139992_bin.1_metaWRAP_v1.3_MAG_genomic", ...]

And this was the resulting list of genome names:

I guess something else modifies the list of genome names, and it's not just the "sort" entry in the HTML file?

Thanks!

This is the correct way of changing the genome order in the HTML output, somehow dram merge wasn't pulling all of the genomes, so the list I was pasting in had more genomes than the annotations files. I fixed the merge and now it works.
