Quick Start

In this showcase we will download the aligned reads and their index (BAM and BAI) from the server:

import resdk

# Create a Resolwe object to interact with the server
res = resdk.Resolwe('admin', 'admin', 'https://torta.bcm.genialis.com')

# Print command details to stdout
resdk.start_logging()

# Get sample meta-data from the server
sample = res.sample.get('human-example-chr22')

# Download files associated with the sample
sample.download()

Both files (BAM and BAI) have downloaded to the working directory. Check them out. To learn more about the Resolwe SDK continue with Getting started.
