Introduction to Toolchest
Toolchest runs computational biology software in the cloud with just a few lines of code. You can call Toolchest from anywhere Python or R runs, using input files located on your computer or S3.
Running one of our favorite computational biology tools – Kraken 2 – looks like:
import toolchest_client as toolchest
toolchest.set_key("YOUR_KEY")
toolchest.kraken2(
tool_args="--minimum-base-quality 25",
inputs="s3://toolchest-demo-data/SRR16201572_R1.fastq",
output_path="./",
)
library(toolchest)
toolchest$set_key("YOUR_KEY")
toolchest$kraken2(
tool_args = "--minimum-base-quality 25",
inputs = "s3://toolchest-demo-data/SRR16201572_R1.fastq",
output_path = "./"
)
