BioSamples to Galaxy

Based on Galaxy Data Source Examples repo and https://github.com/mdshw5/galaxy-json-data-source Simple data source examples to help others building databases which should have Galaxy integration. There are two types of data sources, sync and async.

Synchronous Data Sources

For these data source types, simply requesting a specific URL will provide/generate the data on demand and return it to the requester. For example, providing access to a static file.

Running the example:

1. Install sync.xml into your Galaxy toolbox
2. pip install flask
3. python sync.py
4. Use the tool in Galaxy

Use Case for BioSamples

Given a publication with an Array Express ID:

• how can I find other samples that are part of this experiment (e.g. BioSamples Groups)
• how can I get any other data that BioSamples knows for this sample and those in the group
