BiocAzul

BiocAzul represents the OpenAPI v2 Azul API as an R object for performing requests to access data from the AnVIL or Human Cell Atlas Data Explorers.

Key Features:

• API Representation: Represents the OpenAPI v2 Azul API as an R object for performing requests.
• Infrastructure Integration: Uses the AnVIL and rapiclient packages as infrastructure for API interaction.
• Multi-Platform Connectivity: Supports connections to either the AnVIL or Human Cell Atlas Data Explorers.

Scientific Applications:

• Cloud-Based Genomic Data Access: Enables programmatic access to genomic and biomedical data repositories through the Azul API.
• Human Cell Atlas Data Exploration: Facilitates retrieval and analysis of single-cell genomics data from the Human Cell Atlas Data Explorers.
• AnVIL Platform Integration: Supports access to the Analysis, Visualization, and Informatics Labspace (AnVIL) for cloud-based genomic analysis.

Methodology:

The tool uses the AnVIL and rapiclient packages as infrastructure to represent the OpenAPI v2 Azul API as an R object for performing requests.
