The script project_exome_pipeline.py does exactly the same analysis as automated_initial_analysis.py, except that it starts from demultiplexed input files. project_exome_pipeline.py was written to enable project-based analyses and to circumvent the problem that automated_initial_analysis.py requires the existence of instrument flowcell directories, i.e. the directories in archive, which are removed after a brief period of time. I suggest that when removing a flowcell directory from archive we actually keep parts of the catalogue structure as a history (for instance, the run_info.yaml file and empty fastq.txt files which would enable automated_initial_analysis.py functionality)
