the bigfile-bam, bigfile-bigbed and bigfile-bigwig capabilities types of the DAS Registry. These
files are not served from a DAS server but are just available from the
web (Thus the urls for these “sources” are not expected to have other
capabilities such as a sources command or a format command). People can
use the meta data associated with a DAS source or in this case a bigfile
to advertise the availability of the file to other researchers. The
additional information includes a coordinate system e.g. GRCh_37,
Chromosome, Homo sapiens so others know what is the correct sequence to
attach the files to. Also descriptions and helpUrls etc.</p><p>To register a big file register yourself with the DAS Registry (simple email/pass system here <a href="https://www.dasregistry.org/loginFirst.jsp">https://www.dasregistry.org/loginFirst.jsp</a>) , then go to the register a service page <a title="register new" href="http://www.dasregistry.org/registerService.jsp">Register new</a> select the second option “registering a plain file..” then add the meta data for your data file.</p><p>Once you have registered your file it will appear in the <a href="https://www.dasregistry.org/listSources.jsp">https://www.dasregistry.org/listSources.jsp</a> page – you can filter to show only the bigfile format of the appropriate
type using the capabilities drop down.</p><p>Any problems or suggestions please contact <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 13px; "><a href="mailto:dasregistry@sanger.ac.uk" style="padding-top: 0em; padding-right: 0em; padding-bottom: 0em; padding-left: 0em; margin-top: 0em; margin-right: 0em; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 0em; color: rgb(185, 109, 0); text-decoration: underline; ">dasregistry@sanger.ac.uk</a></span></p><p>Many thanks</p><p>Jonathan.</p><meta charset="utf-8"><p><br></p><div apple-content-edited="true"> <div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; font-size: 12px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div>Jonathan Warren</div><div>Senior Developer and DAS coordinator</div><div>blog: <a href="http://biodasman.wordpress.com/">http://biodasman.wordpress.com/</a></div><div><a href="mailto:jw12@sanger.ac.uk">jw12@sanger.ac.uk</a></div><div>Ext: 2314</div><div>Telephone: 01223 492314</div></div><div><br></div></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></body></html>
