Galaxy POST command


Galaxy integration with STENCIL

JSON payload

projectId

  • projectId is the highest level of categorizing the data in STENCIL.
  • STENCIL consists of many projects.
  • Each project consists of many samples and each sample consist of many libraries.

libraryType

  • Type of the library that is POSTed to STENCIL.
  • Examples are "RNA-seq", "ATAC-seq", and "ChIP-seq".

sampleId

  • Name of the sample which the library belongs.
  • One sample can have multiple libraries.
  • An example of multiple libraries for a sample may be different replicates for a sample.

libraryId

  • An ID given to a library that is POSTed from Galaxy to STENCIL.

libraryDescription

  • Optional free-form string description about the library

createdBy

  • Username of the Galaxy account under which the library is POSTed.

createTimestamp

  • The time the library is originally POSTed to STENCIL

updatedBy

  • Username of the Galaxy account under which the POST is updated.

updateTimestamp

  • Timestamp from when the library was last updated.

token

  • API key that is used to verify permission to POST to Stencil
  • This is defined in the backend's .env file under SVC_STENCIL_PWD

groupTag

  • An array of additional meta information associated with each library.
  • An example is Galaxy HistoryID where the associated data read by STENCIL resides.

libraryData

  • An array element containing the meta-information for each plot/chart/table/image POSTed to STENCIL.
  • The format of this element is detailed below.

libraryData Array

id

  • A unique id assigned to each dataset in Galaxy
  • If a Galaxy historyID is POSTed to STENCIL using this parameter, the path to reproducibility is maintained

dataType

  • Type of data to be visualized in STENCIL.
  • Examples are PNG, SVG, JPG, basictable, lineplot, barchart, scatterplot, heatmap

layoutId

  • This is the unique ID of the layoutID that this data should be applied to.
  • See Configure Layout for additional details.

layoutTitle

  • This is title for the layout section.

tabId

  • Each Layout may consists of multiple Tabs.
  • This variable sets the displayed name of Tabs.

URL

  • URL of the location where STENCIL can access the data resides in Galaxy.
  • This can be any arbitrary URL

stepId

  • Each Tab consists of multiple “Steps”.
  • Steps indicates where exactly in the Tab the data needs to be visualized.
