+[ 
+    [ 
+        id: 'FAL00870',
+        strandedness: 'unstranded',
+        single_end: false
+    ],
+    [
+        '/hpc/scratch/test/f1.R1.fq.gz',
+        '/hpc/scratch/test/f1.R2.fq.gz'
+    ]
+]
+```
+
+\
+ 
+
+#### `meta`
+
+Type: Groovy Map

+    strandedness: 'unstranded',
+    single_end: true
+]
+```
+
+\
+ 
+
+#### `reads`
+
+Type: `path`

+NextFlow input type of `path` pointing to paired-end FASTQ files on which `bbmerge.sh` should be run.
+
+\
+ 
+
+#### `args`
+
+Type: Groovy String
+
+String of optional command-line arguments to be passed to the tool. This can be mentioned in `process` scope within `withName:process_name` block using `ext.args` option within your `nextflow.config` file.
+
+Ex:
+
+```groovy
+withName: 'BBTOOLS_BBMERGE' {
+    ext.args = 'minprog=0.5'
+}
+```
+
+### `output:`
+
+___
+
+Type: `tuple`
+
+Outputs a tuple of metadata (`meta` from `input:`) and merged gzipped FASTQ file.
+
+\
+ 
+
+#### `fastq`
+
+Type: `path`
+
+NextFlow output type of `path` pointing to the FASTQ format merged gzipped file per sample (`id:`).
+
+\
+ 
+
+#### `log`
+
+Type: `path`
+
+NextFlow output type of `path` pointing to log file from `bbmerge.sh` run per sample (`id:`).
+
+\
