What it does

Build and run genomics apps/applets on DNAnexus cloud platform

Best for

Deploying bioinformatics pipelines (alignment, variant calling, quality control) to a managed cloud platform with built-in data governance.

Inputs
  • · app skeleton (dxapp.json)
  • · Python/Bash entry point code
  • · FASTQ/BAM/VCF input files
Outputs
  • · deployed app/applet
  • · job results (aligned reads, variants, etc.)
  • · analysis reports
Requires
  • · DNAnexus account
  • · dxpy Python SDK
  • · dx CLI
  • · optional Docker for complex environments
Preconditions

DNAnexus account active; dxpy/dx installed; project created on platform

Failure modes

Complex dependency installation requires Docker image; large file transfers slow; job monitoring needs polling; platform-specific job scheduling

Trust signals
  • · Structured app development with dxapp.json
  • · Batch job orchestration
  • · Data object lifecycle management
  • · Five reference modules with patterns
