- To start, select the type of data you wish to retrieve - either Short Read Archive (SRA) data, Gene Omnibus Expression (GEO) data, Recount3 data, a URL, or gene sequences from a platform-supported genome. Depending on the resource you wish to access, you will be asked to provide a file containing the IDs of the data to retrieve - SRA IDs, GEO IDs, or the Recount3 project ID respectively. URL access will require additional information.
- Give the workflow a unique name, and review the workflow inputs and parameters. When ready to submit, click âRun Workflowâ.
- N.B. - be sure to double check the design files when using retrieved files in a later workflow run. Some workflows, such as RNASeq, may require some rearranging of the automatically retrieved design files, which can be performed when selecting the design file.
