This is the source code for the favorannotator app that runs on the DNAnexus Platform. For more information about how to run or modify it, see https://documentation.dnanexus.com.
The favorannotator app is designed to functionally annotate genotype data in Genomic Data Structure (GDS) format of any genetic study using the FAVOR Database and create an annotated GDS (AGDS) file by storing the genotype data and their functional annotation data in an all-in-one file. The AGDS file can then facilitate a wide range of functionally-informed downstream analyses, for example, phenotype-genotype association analyses using the staarpipeline app.
Please see the user manual and tutorial for detailed usage of favorannotator app.
To acquire the favorannotator applet, you will need to compile this applet for your respective DNANexus project, by cloning the repository from github and dx build
an APPLET into your own workspace.
- Clone this github repo to some directory:
git clone https://github.com/li-lab-genetics/favorannotator-rap.git
This will create a folder named favorannotator-rap, you can then:
- Compile the source code:
dx build -f favorannotator-rap
the -f
flag just tells DNANexus to overwrite older versions of the applet within the same project if it is already there.
You can then run the following to run this applet:
dx run favorannotator <options>
