.. class:: warningmark

**WARNINGS:**

- This tool does not check if the datasets being concatenated are in the same format.
- When concatenating 2 collections make sure the first collection is the one with the most items.
- This tool can't handle nested collection deeper than list:list.

-----

**What it does**

Concatenates datasets and paired collections with multiple options:

 - When the input is a paired collection:

   - concatenation by strand : forward and reverse datasets are concatenated separately and a list with a single forward - reverse dataset pair is returned

   - concatenation by pair : forward - reverse dataset pairs are concatenated and a simple dataset collection is returned

   - whole collection concatenation : all datasets in the collection are concatenated and a single dataset is returned

 - When the inputs are 2 collections: datasets are concatenated in a pairwise combination and a single dataset collection is returned

 - When nested collection concatenation: datasets in each sub-collection are concatenated and a simple dataset collection is returned

 - Skipping lines before concatenation to avoid headers

 - Add the name of the concatenated files as separator

-----

**Single datasets concatenation example**

Concatenating Dataset::

    chrX  151087187  151087355  A  0  -
    chrX  151572400  151572481  B  0  +

with Dataset1::

    chr1  151242630  151242955  X  0  +
    chr1  151271715  151271999  Y  0  +
    chr1  151278832  151279227  Z  0  -

and with Dataset2::

    chr2  100000030  200000955  P  0  +
    chr2  100000015  200000999  Q  0  +

will result in the following::

    chrX  151087187  151087355  A  0  -
    chrX  151572400  151572481  B  0  +
    chr1  151242630  151242955  X  0  +
    chr1  151271715  151271999  Y  0  +
    chr1  151278832  151279227  Z  0  -
    chr2  100000030  200000955  P  0  +
    chr2  100000015  200000999  Q  0  +

**2 Collections concatenation**

1rst collection::

    a
    b
    c
    d

2nd collection::

    1
    2
    3
    4

Concatenation result::

    A single collection containing:

    a concatenated with 1
    b concatenated with 2
    c concatenated with 3
    d concatenated with 4

1rst pair::

    forward - reverse

2nd pair::

    forward - reverse

- Concatenation by strand::

    concatenates:

    1rst forward + 2nd forward
    1rst reverse + 2nd reverse

    outputs:

    1 pair

- Concatenation by pair::

    concatenates:

    1rst forward + 1rst reverse
    2nd forward + 2nd reverse

    outputs:

    2 datasets

- Concatenate all::

    concatenates:

    1rst forward + 1rst reverse + 2nd forward + 2nd reverse

    outputs:

    1 dataset

**Nested collection concatenation example**

Nested collection:

    - Experiment

        - Sample_1

            - Sample_1_file_1
            - Sample_1_file_2

        - Sample_2

            - Sample_2_file_1
            - Sample_2_file_2
            - Sample_2_file_3

Concatenation result::

    A single collection containing:

        - Sample_1: (Sample_1_file_1 + Sample_1_file_2)
        - Sample_2: (Sample_2_file_1 + Sample_2_file_2 + Sample_2_file_3)
