Gigwa

 

Easily manage, share, explore, visualize NGS genotyping data.
Gigwa supports multiple import/export formats, RESTful standards ( BrAPI & GA4GH ), SNiPlay Galaxy and Flapjack connectivity.

Recent releases:

  • offer real-time statistical graph calculation & display (Fst, Tajima's D);

  • embed online versions of Flapjack-Bytes and IGV.js , allowing for smooth and convenient data exploration;

  • feature a simple yet powerful interface to let data owners dump / restore databases (use it to avoid loosing data!)

 

Exploring the structure of genomes and analyzing their evolution is essential to understanding the ecological adaptation of organisms. However, with the large amounts of data being produced by next-generation sequencing, computational challenges arise in terms of storage, search, sharing, analysis and visualization. This is particularly true with regards to studies of genomic variation, which are currently lacking scalable and user-friendly data exploration solutions.

Here we present Gigwa, a web-based tool which provides an easy and intuitive way to explore large amounts of genotyping data by filtering the latter based not only on variant features, including functional annotations, but also on genotype patterns. The data storage relies on MongoDB, which offers good scalability perspectives. Gigwa can handle multiple databases and may be deployed in either single or multi-user mode. Finally, it provides a wide range of popular export formats.

IMPORTANT NOTE

From v1.5 upwards, if you install the webapp on your own server you must log in as gigwadmin (password: nimda) to manage databases and user permissions. It is of course recommended to change the administrator password.

 

Gigwa Docker container

As the image is on a Dockerhub repository , the only required file for running the container is the docker-compose file  (always get the latest version!)

Important notice:   Upgrading an existing Docker container from versions prior to v2.5 r equires running a preliminary script, please refer to  https://github.com/SouthGreenPlatform/Gigwa2/issues/41
