Access Chipster
Introduction
This guide is intended for researchers who want to use Chipster (v3.12.3), an user-friendly software for analyzing high-throughput data such as NGS and microarrays, in the cloud-based resources provided by EGI.
The software contains over 400 analysis tools and a large collection of reference genomes.
Users can save and share automatic analysis workflows, and visualize data interactively using for example the built-in genome browser.
The Chipster testbed in EGI resources
The Chipster testbed configured at CESGA offers:
- 8 vCPU cores,
- 32GB of RAM,
- 1TB of block storage in /data,
- Software and tools (v3.12.3) are in available under the /cvmfs/chipster.egi.eu/ partition.
This how-to has been tested in the EGI Applications on Demand Infrastructure.
The only pre-requisite to access and use the Chipster testbed is to be a member of this infrastructure.
About this wiki
In this guide we will show how to:
- Create a temporary Chipster account;
- Use the temporary account to access the testbed and run the bio-informatics applications.
How to create/review a temporary account
In this section we will show how to create/renew your temporary Chipster account. By default, a temporary account to access the Chipster server is valid for one month.
To generate/review your temporary Chipster account, please use this link.
- Click on the "Show form".
- If the account has expired, the Science Gateway will automatically generate a new password for the user.
- To activate the new account, click on the "Execute" button to trigger the creation/update of the temporary account in the Chipster testbed. This operation may takes few minutes.
- User can monitor the execution of the task clicking in the "Show" button.
- When the account is create/renewed, the web interface shows a link to access the Chipster server with the new credentials.
