# DNAnexus Integration ## Overview DNAnexus is a cloud platform for biomedical data analysis and genomics. Build and deploy apps/applets, manage data objects, run workflows, and use the dxpy Python SDK for genomics pipeline development and execution. ## When to Use This Skill This skill should be used when: - Creating, building, or modifying DNAnexus apps/applets - Uploading, downloading, searching, or organizing files and records - Running analyses, monitoring jobs, creating workflows - Writing scripts using dxpy to interact with the platform - Setting up dxapp.json, managing dependencies, using Docker - Processing FASTQ, BAM, VCF, or other bioinformatics files - Managing projects, permissions, or platform resources ## Core Capabilities The skill is organized into five main areas, each with detailed reference documentation: ### 1. App Development **Purpose**: Create executable programs (apps/applets) that run on the DNAnexus platform. **Key Operations**: - Generate app skeleton with `dx-app-wizard` - Write Python or Bash apps with proper entry points - Handle input/output data objects - Deploy with `dx build` or `dx build --app` - Test apps on the platform **Common Use Cases**: -

What does the dnanexus-integration skill do?
DNAnexus cloud genomics platform. Build apps/applets, manage data (upload/download), dxpy Python SDK, run workflows, FASTQ/BAM/VCF, for genomics pipeline development and execution.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add LeonChaoX/qinyan-academic-skills --skill dnanexus-integration --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From LeonChaoX/qinyan-academic-skills, a repository with 759 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
