Introduction¶

Welcome to the Gencove Base docs!

For Gencove Explorer analysis cloud documentation, see here.

Gencove Base makes it easy to:

1. upload low-pass sequencing FASTQ files to the Gencove analysis pipeline
2. download analysis results
3. track sample status
4. automate data delivery.

Read on to get started and try out the examples on the side along the way.

Also, additional documentation is available here:

• API reference for publicly available endpoints: API reference
• Command-line interface (CLI) tool reference: CLI reference

Gencove data¶

Genomic data is organized into "projects". Each project contains "samples". Each sample has an id (generated by Gencove) and client_id (provided to Gencove by clients).

In most cases, a user account and project will be created for you by our team.

In case you would like to explore the Gencove data delivery dashboard, feel free to create an account and explore as follows:

1. Create a free Gencove account using the dashboard
2. Create a project by going to My Projects -> Add new project
