Beacon - Discovery Services for Genomic DataThe Beacon protocol defines an open standard for genomics data discovery, developed by members of the Global Alliance for Genomics & Health. Since 2016, the Beacon protocols is being developed through the ELIXIR Beacon project as a GA4GH driver project.

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 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 ids service forwards compatible, prefixed ids (see config/ids.yaml) to specific
website endpoints. There is no check if the id exists; this is left to the web
page handling itself.
Stacking with the “pgx:” prefix is allowed.
