Snakemake workflow: FAIR CRCC - send data
A Snakemake workflow for securely sharing Crypt4GH-encrypted sensitive data from the CRC Cohort to a destination approved through a successful access request.
The recommendation is to create a directory for the request that has been approved; it will be used as the working directory for the run. Copy there the recipient's crypt4gh key and prepare the run configuration. The configuration will specify the repository, the destination of the data, and the list of files/directories to transfer.
What's the CRC Cohort?
The CRC Cohort is a collection of clinical data and digital high-resolution digital pathology images pertaining to tumor cases. The collection has been assembled from a number of participating biobanks and other partners through the ADOPT BBMRI-ERIC project.
Researchers interested in using the data for science can file an application for access. If approved, the part of the dataset required for the planned and approved work can be copied to the requester's selected secure storage location (using this workflow).
Usage
Example
mkdir request_1234 && cd request_1234
# Now write the configuration, specifying crypt4gh keys, destination and files to send.
# Finally, execute workflow.
snakemake --snakefile ../fair-crcc-send-data/workflow/Snakefile --profile ../profile/ --configfile config.yml --use-singularity --cores
