Following the launch of the updated Progenetix website (new interface, now much
more data with >130’000 samples…) and the recent introduction of the new
Python based bycon API for BeaconPlus and Progenetix Services
we now also have some structured information for the different API options.

The bycon environment provides a number of data services which make use of resources in the Progenetix environment. Please refer to their specific documentation.
services.py and URL MappingThe service URL format progenetix.org/services/__service-name__?parameter=value
is a shorthand for progenetix.org/cgi-bin/bycon/services/__service-name__.py?parameter=value.

The publications service serves as backend API for the display of genome
screening publications through the Progenetix Publications DB.

The phenopackets service is usually called as a handover endpoint, to wrap &
deliver penopackets from samples & variants … matched by a Beacon query.

The ontologymaps service provides equivalency mapping between ICD-O and other
classification systems, notably NCIt.
The service has a front-end in the Progenetix Services area.

This endpoint is mostly aimed at providing biosamples handover functionality. However, the app uses the same query processing mechanism as the main byconplus application.

The bycon project provides implementation of middleware & server for the
Beacon API, for use with the Progenetix (i.e. GA4GH object model derived, MongoDB implemented) environment. In this project, the
byconplus.py application and its libraries provide the necessary functionality
to run a Beacon instance, provided the given environment.
Future versions will add methods to set-up necessary database structures from various variant and metadata files. Please contact us for further information.

The Progenetix and arrayMap resources use the coding schemas of the _International Classification of Diseases in Oncology__ (3rd edition; “ICD-O 3”), to classify all biosamples for which experimental data is available. Users can get a list of ICD-O 3 codes in the Progenetix format through the Progenetix Services.

The Progenetix website has been completely rebuilt using a JavaScript / React based framework and API based content delivery. At its core, the site is built around the Beacon standard, with some extensions for data colections and advanced query options.

After many years of using a CreativeCommons CC-BY-SA (“attribution + share alike”), the Progenetix resource has dropped the “SA - share alike” attribute and is now “attribution” only. This may facilitate the use of the data in more complex and/or commercial scenarios - enjoy!

Wherever possible, data annotation in Progenetix uses {S}[B] OntologyClass
objects for categorical values, with CURIEs as id values. So far, the
Progenetix databases had used pubmed: for PubMed identifiers and ncit:
for NCI Metathesaurus (Neoplasm) ids.
