Reference data (genomes & features/annotations) service for the Bento platform.
- Provide a well-known location for genomic reference materials within Bento nodes - both human and non-human
- Provide a translation service for looking up features/annotations, returning responses containing genomic coordinates for genes, exons, etc.
- Facilitate node-level ingestion of reference genomes
- Implement the RefGet v2.0.0 specification. RefGet is a standardized API specification for obtaining sequence data.
- Possibly function as a standalone reference data service, if ever desired.
To view interactive API documentation, go to the /docs path in a running instance of the service.
In a local Bento instance, this would (likely) look like https://bentov2.local/api/reference/docs.
