If you have "big" file data that you think would be useful to other
researches you can now register them with the DAS Registry at http://www.dasregistry.org
For further in formation see below:
You can now add bigfile formats such as BAM, BIGBED and BIGWIG using
the bigfile-bam, bigfile-bigbed and bigfile-bigwig capabilities types
of the DAS Registry. These files are not served from a DAS server but
are just available from the web (Thus the urls for these “sources” are
not expected to have other capabilities such as a sources command or a
format command). People can use the meta data associated with a DAS
source or in this case a bigfile to advertise the availability of the
file to other researchers. The additional information includes a
coordinate system e.g. GRCh_37, Chromosome, Homo sapiens so others
know what is the correct sequence to attach the files to. Also
descriptions and helpUrls etc.
To register a big file register yourself with the DAS Registry (simple
email/pass system here https://www.dasregistry.org/loginFirst.jsp) ,
then go to the register a service page Register new select the second
option “registering a plain file..” then add the meta data for your
data file.
Once you have registered your file it will appear in the https://www.dasregistry.org/listSources.jsp
page – you can filter to show only the bigfile format of the
appropriate type using the capabilities drop down.
Any problems or suggestions please contact [email protected]
Many thanks
Jonathan.
