AnVIL

AnVIL provides programmatic access to the Dockstore, Leonardo, Rawls, TDR, and Terra RESTful programming interfaces for cloud-based genomics computing.

Key Features:

• Dockstore API Access: Enables programmatic interaction with the Dockstore repository for sharing containerized tools and workflows.
• Leonardo API Access: Provides programmatic access to the Leonardo service for managing cloud-based analysis environments.
• Rawls API Access: Supports programmatic interaction with the Rawls workspace management service.
• TDR API Access: Enables programmatic access to the Terra Data Repository for managing and querying large-scale datasets.
• Terra API Access: Provides programmatic interaction with the Terra platform for cloud-based biomedical research.

Scientific Applications:

• Cloud-Based Genomics Computing: Facilitates programmatic execution of genomics workflows and analyses on the NHGRI-developed AnVIL cloud computing resource.
• Workflow Orchestration: Enables automated management and execution of containerized bioinformatics pipelines through Dockstore integration.
• Data Repository Management: Supports programmatic handling of large-scale genomic and biomedical datasets via the Terra Data Repository.

Methodology:

The package implements programmatic access through RESTful programming interfaces to cloud computing services.
