Services

Search engine for genomic track metadata

Hierarchical browser of all metadata keys and values

Categorical search

Graphical builder of SQL-based search queries

Browse results in table or hierarchical form

Export results in JSON or GSuite formats

REST API for integration in downstream tools and scripts

Metadata augmentation service

Load FAIRtracks-annotated JSON file with minimal set of fields

Receive JSON file with augmented human-readable fields

Generates labels from term IDs using most recent ontology versions

Generates single-field summaries based on other fields

REST API for automatized augmentation

Metadata validation service

REST API for validation of JSON files against the FAIRtracks schemas

Standard JSON Schema validator with custom extensions

Validation of ontology terms against the latest ontology versions

Validation of CURIEs against Identifiers.org

Validation of consistency of internal relations

FAIRtracks format conversion service

Convert between data formats, for now only JSON -> GSuite

GSuite is a tabular text format with metadata on track collections

GSuite is designed for track analysis

Supports deferred downloading of data based on URLs

REST API to prepare search results for data analysis in tools such as the GSuite HyperBrowser

Statistical analysis framework for track data

The first general framework for statistical analysis of tracks

Created at the crossroads of biology, statistics, and computer science

On Galaxy web platform

Precise tools and analyses on genome variation, regulation, chromatin, etc.

Prototype import tool that inspired FAIRtracks is now TrackFind client

Registry of publicly accessible track hubs

A track hub serves track collection data for use in genome browsers

The UCSC Public Track Hub page and the Track Hub Registry are main registries of track hubs

Allows metadata for individual tracks but most focus is on the hubs themselves

Plans to highlight FAIRtracks-compxliant hubs

REST API and web GUI

The BLUEPRINT/EPICO Data Analysis Portal

Data-driven exploration of genes, pathways or genome regions across the BLUEPRINT datasets

Provides analytical graph-based views into various aspects of the track data

Supports different reference genomes and organisms

Integration with the FAIRtracks ecosystem is ongoing

REST API and web GUI
