Ths repository includes some utilities for Washington University Genome Browser (WUGB).
This script scans a web server's directory (based on servers dict),
and saves a JSON file that includes all supported data files in this
directory.
The output JSON file can be loaded directly into WUGB.
make_wugb_json.py [genome_type] [data_directory]
Two arguments are required by the script:
- genome_type, such as
hg19orhg38 - data_directory, which is the location of your data files
Two new files will be generated by the script:
wugb.json: JSON file for WUGBwugb_url.txt: the URL of WUGB (also in standard output when the script is done)
Suppose your data_directory is my_data, which has the following structure:
my_data/
├── d1
│ └── f1.bw
└── d2
├── f2.bw
└── f3.bw
After you run:
make_wugb_json.py hg38 my_data
the structure of my_data will become:
my_data/
├── d1
│ └── f1.bw
├── d2
│ ├── f2.bw
│ └── f3.bw
├── wugb.json
└── wugb_url.txt
