@absanger/npg_ranger v3.0.0-beta.4

npg_ranger project

Introduction

This project is a contribution towards development of the streaming API under the GA4GH initiative (GA4GH Directory API and Streaming). The project has a server and a compatible command-line http client; both conform to GA4GH API

Package structure

 bin - node.js scripts, server and client
 lib - application libraries
 test - tests
 docker - scripts for deploying a server in docker containers in a cloud 
 docs - technical manuals
 docs/api - generated API (run "grunt doc" to generate)
 package.json - npm package definition
 Gruntfile.js - grunt runner specification

File merging pipeline

We are using a light version of our samtools pipeline for merging by default, but the heavy version is available in the code, located inside lib/server/model.js. This is because most of our data can work with the light pipeline, and the heavy version may be considerably more computationally taxing due to collating, fixmate, and sorting.
