PrecisionFDA

PrecisionFDA is a community platform for NGS assay evaluation and regulatory science exploration, accessible at https://precision.fda.gov/

Webapp

The code in this repository represents the precisionFDA webapp, which uses the Ruby on Rails framework. For more information on that framework, visit:

Installation of ruby dependencies is handled via bundler, and asset management is done via bower.

Operation of the webapp relies on an upstream cloud backend, for services such as user authentication, file storage and VM execution. The site deployed at https://precision.fda.gov/ uses DNAnexus as the cloud provider.

In addition to the webapp, this repo hosts the precisionFDA command-line uploader. It can be found under the go folder.
