PrecisionFDA is a community platform for NGS assay evaluation and regulatory science exploration, accessible at https://precision.fda.gov/.
It is implemented on top DNANexus API and from platform perspective it's considered 3rd party application.
The code in this repository represents the precisionFDA webapp, which uses the Ruby on Rails framework. For more information on that framework, visit:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/
Installation of ruby dependencies is handled via bundler, and asset management is done via bower.
Operation of the webapp relies on an upstream cloud backend, for services such as user authentication, file storage and VM execution. The site deployed at https://precision.fda.gov/ uses DNAnexus as the cloud provider.
In addition to the webapp, this repo hosts the precisionFDA
command-line uploader. It can be found under the go folder.
The deployed precisionFDA site includes content such as app assets, apps, reference data, etc. Such content is added on top of the website and is not part of this repository. You can access such public contributions on https://precision.fda.gov/ where you can download files and app assets, as well as fork apps to access their scripts.
The current comparison app runs vcfeval from Real Time Genomics.
