export

export exports historical datasets, workflow histories, and metadata from the Galaxy platform to enable reproducibility, verification, and downstream computational analyses.

Key Features:

• Historical data retrieval: Retrieves datasets, workflow histories, jobs, and associated metadata from the Galaxy instance.
• Galaxy API and Bioblend integration: Communicates with Galaxy via its REST API or the Bioblend Python library to request and fetch data.
• Integration with external web services: Enables data exchange between Galaxy and web services such as MetaGenSense, NGphylogeny.fr, Booster, and Shaman.
• Support for metagenomic and phylogenetic workflows: Facilitates export of results and histories from metagenomic analysis workflows and phylogenetic analyses.
• Provenance and reproducibility export: Exports provenance and history information to support verification and reproducibility of computational analyses.
• Galaxy as execution engine: Operates in the context of Galaxy used as an execution engine for workflows consumed or produced by external services.

Scientific Applications:

• Metagenomic analysis: Enables extraction and sharing of results and histories from MetaGenSense and other metagenomic workflows.
• Phylogenetic analysis: Supports export of inputs, outputs, and histories for NGphylogeny.fr and other phylogenetic workflows.
• Reproducibility and verification: Provides researchers access to past results and provenance for verification and re-analysis.
• Downstream computational analysis and sharing: Supplies datasets and metadata for further computational processing or dissemination within the scientific community.

Methodology:

Programmatic access to Galaxy using its REST API or the Bioblend library to query and retrieve datasets, workflow histories, jobs, and metadata.
