msgen
is a command-line client for the Microsoft Genomics service.msgen is compatible with Python 2.7. We recommend using version 2.7.12 or later. msgen can be installed from PyPI.
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev libpython-dev python-dev python-pip sudo pip install --upgrade --no-deps msgen sudo pip install msgen
pip install --upgrade --no-deps msgen pip install msgen
If you do not want to install msgen as a system-wide binary and modify system-wide python packages, use the
--user
flag with pip
. In that case you will need to add ~/.local/bin
to your path in Linux and
%APPDATA%\Python
in Windows.
You can install these packages using pip, easy_install or through standard
setup.py procedures. These dependencies will be automatically installed if
using a package-based installation or setup.py. The required versions of these
dependent packages can be found in setup.py
.
After installing msgen, a simple command to check connectivity is:
REM Windows console
msgen list ^
--api-url-base <Genomics API URL> ^
--access-key <Genomics account access key>
# Unix console
msgen list \
--api-url-base <Genomics API URL> \
--access-key <Genomics account access key>
Values for both these arguments can be found in Azure Portal, on the Access keys blade of your Genomics account.
You can get a full list of available commands and arguments by running msgen help
, but generally you will
need to provide at least a command, --api-url-base
, and --access-key
, where the command is one
of the following:
list |
Returns a list of jobs you have submitted. For arguments, see msgen help list . |
submit |
Submits a workflow request to the service. For arguments, see msgen help submit . |
status |
Returns the status of the workflow specified by --workflow-id . See also msgen help status . |
cancel |
Sends a request to cancel processing of the workflow specified by --workflow-id . See also msgen help cancel . |
No breaking changes since v0.9.0
.
Changed the project link on PyPI to the new url for the source code on GitHub (this repository).
No breaking changes since v0.8.x
.
This is equivalent to running -bgzip followed by -tabix on the vcf or gvcf output, to produce ".gz" (bgzip output) and ".tbi" (tabix output) files.
bgzip
compresses the vcf or gvcf file, and tabix
creates an index for the compressed file.
The argument is a boolean, which is set to false
by default for ".vcf" output, and to true
by default for ".g.vcf" output.
To use on the command line, specify -bz
or --bgzip-output
as true
(run bgzip
and tabix
) or false
.
To use this argument in the config file, add bgzip_output: true
or bgzip_output: false
to the file.
No breaking changes since v0.7.4
.
This is equivalent to -emitRefConfidence in GATK 3.x and -emit-ref-confidence in GATK 4.x. To use on the command line, specify -erc
or --emit-ref-confidence
.
The argument accepts a value of "none" which produces ".vcf" output, or "gvcf" which produces ".g.vcf" output. By default, the value is not set, which produces ".vcf" output.
To use this argument in the config file to produce "g.vcf" output, add emit_ref_confidence: gvcf
to the file.
- Submitting multiple FASTQ or multiple BAM files.
- Filtering options for the
list
command. - Range limiting options for the
list
command. - Export to CSV of the
list
command output. - Bug fixes!
This version of msgen also introduces user interface changes compared to version 0.6.*. If you would like to keep using an older version, you can downgrade back to 0.6.15 by running the following command:
pip install msgen==0.6.15
Previously, the operation you wanted to invoke was a parameter to the -command
option. Now, the desired command directly follows
the program name, msgen
. Below is a table comparing invocations of msgen 0.6.* and 0.7.* for cases when a configuration file is
not used.
msgen 0.6.* (without config) | msgen 0.7.* (without config) |
---|---|
msgen -command submit … |
msgen submit … |
msgen -command list … |
msgen list … |
msgen -command getstatus … |
msgen status … |
msgen -command cancel … |
msgen cancel … |
Commands cannot be specified in the configuration file anymore and will be ignored if mentioned there. Below is a table comparing invocations between msgen 0.6.* and 0.7.* for cases when a configuration file is used.
Command in the config file | msgen 0.6.* (with command in config) | msgen 0.7.* (with config) |
---|---|---|
command: submit | msgen -f config.txt … |
msgen submit -f config.txt … |
command: list | msgen -f config.txt … |
msgen list -f config.txt … |
command: getstatus | msgen -f config.txt … |
msgen status -f config.txt … |
command: cancel | msgen -f config.txt … |
msgen cancel -f config.txt … |
If you provide at least some required information via the command line arguments when interacting with the Microsoft Genomics service,
you will need to update your command invocation. All arguments are now provided either in the short format like -k
or in the long
format like --access-key
. Note that arguments in the long format start with a double dash and that underscores between words
are replaced with dashes. Below is a table listing some of the submit arguments to illustrate this difference between msgen 0.6.* and
0.7.*.
msgen 0.6.* | msgen 0.7.* |
---|---|
-api_url_base |
-u/--api-url-base |
-subscription_key |
-k/--access-key |
-input_storage_account_name |
-ia/--input-storage-account-name |
-input_storage_account_key |
-ik/--input-storage-account-key |
-input_storage_account_container |
-ic/--input-storage-account-container |
-input_blob_name_1 |

-input_blob_name_2 |
-b2/--input-blob-name-1 |
-output_storage_account_name |
-oa/--output-storage-account-name |
-output_storage_account_key |
-ok/--output-storage-account-key |
-output_storage_account_container |
-oc/--output-storage-account-container |
-process_args |
-pa/--process-args |
There are no changes here, apart from the fact that the command is going to be ignored and will need to be provided on the command line. Your old configuration file can be re-used for all commands you want to use it with.
