GA4GH WES and DRS support
Through its engagement in GA4GH (The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health), Seven Bridges actively works with platform development partners and industry leaders to develop standards that will facilitate interoperability.
The GA4GH Cloud Work Stream helps the genomics and health communities take full advantage of modern cloud environments. Its initial focus is on 'bringing the algorithms to the data', by creating standards for defining, sharing, and executing portable workflows. Standards under discussion include workflow definition languages, tool encapsulation, cloud-based task and workflow execution, and cloud-agnostic abstraction of data access.
The Platform provides support for the following standards:
WES API
The Workflow Execution Service (WES) API describes a standard programmatic way to run and manage workflows. Having this standard API supported by multiple execution engines will let people run the same workflow using various execution platforms running on various clouds/environments.
The following API paths are available as a part of the Seven Bridges implementation of WES API:
- Run a workflow
- Cancel a running workflow
- Get the status of the workflow run
- Get details of a workflow run
- List workflow runs
- Get service information
DRS API
The Data Repository Service (DRS) API provides a generic interface to data repositories so data consumers, including workflow systems, can access data in a single, standard way regardless of where it's stored and how it's managed.
The following API paths are available as part of Seven Bridges implementation of DRS API:
