Nextstrain generally uses TSV files for metadata.
Nextstrain strongly prefers using TSV files for metadata even though Augur commands support other delimiters as inputs.
If you are using other formats, we recommend using :doc:`augur curate passthru <augur:usage/cli/curate/passthru>` to convert them to TSV.

Nextstrain tools and workflows produce `RFC 4180 CSV-like TSVs <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4180>`__.
