Clinical Scietists reported that they could not view the mappped files in the IGV browser easily.
Therefore, get_DNAnexus_URLs was created to speed up the process
This code is written to generate .json containing URLs for VCF, BAM and index files located on DNAnexus for use in the IGV browser.
Furthermore, the link to VCF files for WES, SNP, ONC, TSO500 are generated.
The code is to be run every day to refresh the .json file with updated information.
The URLs are generated for files created within the requested time frame.
The URL links are active for 24 hours.
Run this script in python 3.
python script_name length output_name
python3 path/get_DNANexus_URLs.py -12w path/hg19_dnanexus.json
-12w = search the previous 12 weeks from now; hg19_dnanexus.json = output file name
This script can be deployed on the Genapp server using the following ansible playbook:
