SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines complex genomics data management and analysis on the DNAnexus platform, reducing the time and effort required for bioinformatics pipeline development and execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • App Development: Build and deploy custom bioinformatics apps and applets.
  • Data Management: Upload, download, search, and organize large genomics datasets (FASTQ, BAM, VCF).
  • Workflow Execution: Run complex analysis pipelines and monitor job progress.
  • Use Case: A researcher needs to process raw sequencing data through a multi-step alignment and variant calling pipeline. This Skill can be used to develop the necessary applets, upload the FASTQ files, configure and run the pipeline, and download the final VCF results.

Quick Start

Use the dnanexus-integration skill to upload the file 'sample.fastq' to your DNAnexus project.
