For testing the rapidly evolving Beacon v2 API, we have now implemented more paths/endpoints which mostly conform to the brand new & still “flexible” v2.0.0-draft.4 version. Please check the documentation and examples.

This service provides access to binned CNV frequency information of data
“collations” in the Progenetix project databases. A typical use would be the
retrieval of data for a single collation, e.g. by its identifier (e.g.
NCIT:C7376, PMID:22824167, pgxcohort-TCGAcancers).

The Progenetix resource’s API utilizes the bycon framework for data query and
delivery and basically represents a custom implementation of the Beacon API.

This page lists changes for the Beacon+ implementation of the “Beacon” genomics API.
As one of the drivers of the Beacon protocol and to drive the Beacon v2 protocol process we have now started the documentation of Beacon v2 endpoints which are supported in Progenetix as part of the implementations-v2 project:

The Beacon v2 protocol uses a REST path structure for consistant data access.
The Beacon+ implementation - developed oin the bycon project
implements an expanding set of those Beacon v2 paths for the Progenetix
resource.

The bycon project provides a combination of a Beacon-protocol based API with additional API services, used as backend and middleware for the Progenetix resource.
bycon has been developed to support Beacon protocol development following earlier implementations of Beacon+ (“beaconPlus”) with now deprected Perl libraries. The work tightly integrates with the ELIXIR Beacon project.

This endpoint is mostly aimed at providing variants Beacon functionality. The app uses the same query processing mechanism as the other bycon applications.

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

We have introduced a simple option to search directly by Gene Symbol, which will match to any genomic variant with partial overlap to the specified gene. This works by expanding the Gene Symbol (e.g. TP53, CDKN2A …) into a range query for its genomic coordinates (maximum CDR).
Such queries - which would e.g. return all whole-chromosome CNV events covering the gene of interest, too - should be narrowed by providing e.g. Variant Type and Maximum Size (e.g. 2000000) values.

The bycon environment provides a number of data services which make use of resources in the Progenetix environment. Please refer to their specific documentation.
Note: As of 2021-04-07 there are some changes - typical Beacon endpoints such as biosamples have been moved to the /beacon/__service-name__ path:
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 mappings are represented in the ICDOntologies project and accessible trough a front-end in the Progenetix Services area.
2020-10-20: more ...
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.

The Progenetix oncogenomics resource provides sample-specific cancer genome profiling data and biomedical annotations as well as provenance data from cancer studies. Especially through currently 113322 curated genomic copy number number (CNV) profiles from 1600 individual studies representing over 500 cancer types (NCIt), Progenetix empowers aggregate and comparative analyses which vastly exceed individual studies or single diagnostic concepts.

The Beacon driver project was one of the earliest initiatives of the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health with the Beacon v1.0 API as first approved GA4GH standard. Version 2 of the protocol is slated to provide fundamental changes, towards a Internet of Genomics foundational standard:

The Beacon+ implementation of the GA4GH Beacon protocol has become a part of the ELIXIR Beacon Network, an expanding Beacon service to query multiple Beacon resources and aggregate their query results.
@mbaudis 2020-01-20: more ...
The response element of the Beacon+ interface now contains a link for displaying the matched variants e.g. of e.g. a CNV query in the UCSC genome browser.
