DNAnexus

ElemBio Cloud integrates with DNAnexus as a cloud service provider. The DNAnexus provider supports storage connections, compute activities, and verified flows, such as the Bases2Fastq flow. DNAnexus offers a suite of analysis options, including the Bases2Fastq app and options for secondary analysis. For an example workflow configuration, see the Integrating DNAnexus for FASTQ Automation tutorial.

Requirements​

Configuration of a DNAnexus provider requires the following components:

  • A DNAnexus project: The project stores run files output from the AVITI System.
  • An API token with access to the project: The API token serves as a credential for ElemBio Cloud to transfer data.
  • A workflow that uses the Bases2Fastq app: The workflow allows you to execute Bases2Fastq and other analyses. Make sure to note the workflow ID, which the DNAnexus user interface displays when you select a workflow.

For more information on these requirements, see the User Interface Quickstart and Authentication pages in the DNAnexus Documentation.

Add a DNAnexus Provider​

  1. On the Providers page, select DNAnexus.
  2. Enter a unique name.
  3. Enter the API token for the DNAnexus project.
  4. Select Save to create the provider.

Add a DNAnexus Storage Connection​

A storage connection enables you to transfer data to the DNAnexus project you own. Before you create a storage connection, you must set up the provider.

  1. On the Storage page, select Add Storage.
  2. In the Provider Name drop-down menu, select the DNAnexus provider for the storage connection.
  3. Enter a unique name for the storage connection.
  4. Enter the Project ID.
  5. If applicable, enter a Run Upload Folder to indicate a folder structure for run data.
  6. Select a Use for Run Upload setting.
    • If you enable the setting, the storage connection becomes available on instruments associated with your organization.
    • If you disable the setting, the storage connection is unavailable on instruments. You can only use the storage connection for ElemBio Cloud activities, such as verified flows.
  7. Select Save.
