What this skill does
DNAnexus Integration Overview DNAnexus is a cloud platform for biomedical data analysis and genomics. Build and deploy apps/applets, manage data objects, run workflows, and use the dxpy Python SDK for genomics pipeline development and execution. When to Use This Skill This skill should be used when: Creating, building, or modifying DNAnexus apps/applets Uploading, downloading, searching, or organizing files and records Running analyses, monitoring jobs, creating workflows Writing scripts using dxpy to interact with the platform Setting up dxapp.json, managing dependencies, using Docker Processing FASTQ, BAM, VCF, or other bioinformatics files Managing projects, permissions, or platform resources Core Capabilities The skill is organized into five main areas, each with detailed reference documentation: 1. App Development Purpose: Create executable programs (apps/applets) that run on the DNAnexus platform. Key Operations: Generate app skeleton with dx-app-wizard Write Python or Bash apps with proper entry points Handle input/output data objects Deploy with dx build or dx build --app Test apps on the platform Common Use Cases: Bioinformatics pipelines (alignment, variant calling) Data processing workflows Quality control and filtering Format conversion tools Reference: See references/app-development.md for: Complete app structure and patterns Python entry point decorators Input/output handling with dxpy Development best practices Common issues and solutions 2. Data Operations Purpose: Manage files, records, and other data objects on the platform. …
