Rega

Rega provides an R interface to the European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA) API for programmatic metadata upload and data submission.

Key Features:

• EGA API Integration: Offers a streamlined and extensible R interface to the EGA API.
• Programmatic Metadata Upload: Facilitates the programmatic upload of metadata to the EGA.
• GEO-like Excel Submission Template: Provides a GEO-like Excel submission template as a default method of organizing submission metadata.

Scientific Applications:

• Controlled Data Sharing: Supports the controlled sharing of personally identifiable genetic data through the EGA.
• Genome-Phenome Archive Submission: Enables researchers to submit genetic and phenotypic data with associated metadata to the European Genome-phenome Archive.

Methodology:

Rega interfaces with the EGA API to enable programmatic operations; metadata organization uses a GEO-like Excel submission template as the default format.
