How do I use a while loop to access taxids in Nextflow?

To use a while loop to access taxids in Nextflow, you can follow these steps:

Define Your Input Channel: Create a channel that contains the taxids you want to process. This could be a list of taxids or a file containing taxids.

Set Up Your While Loop: Use a while loop to iterate over the taxids in your input channel. You can use a bash script or a Nextflow process to handle the iteration.

Process Each Taxid: Inside the while loop, process each taxid as needed. This could involve running a specific analysis or performing a task for each taxid.

Example Breakdown (in words): Define Input Channel: Create a channel with your taxids.

Set Up While Loop: Use a while loop to iterate over the taxids.

Process Each Taxid: Handle each taxid inside the loop.
