SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides comprehensive tools and guidance for interacting with the DNAnexus cloud genomics platform, enabling efficient development, data management, and execution of bioinformatics pipelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • App Development: Build and deploy custom apps/applets using Python or Bash.
  • Data Operations: Upload, download, search, and manage files and records.
  • Job Execution: Run analyses, monitor jobs, and orchestrate complex workflows.
  • Python SDK (dxpy): Programmatically control the platform.
  • Configuration: Define app dependencies and execution environments.
  • Use Case: A researcher needs to process FASTQ files from a new sequencing run, align them to a reference genome using a custom applet, and then call variants, all orchestrated through DNAnexus.

Quick Start

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