Handling integrated biological data using Python, Jupyter, and InterMine
Moving data between Galaxy and InterMine
InterMine ➡ to ➡ Galaxy
- Search Galaxy for “InterMine” (not case sensitive; “intermine” is fine too), and click on “InterMine Server” under “Get Data”. (Note: You may see other InterMines such as FlyMine or RatMine - it’s fine to use those if they meet your needs; the InterMine server tool encompasses more InterMine instances and therefore a broader range of organisms).
- This will redirect you to the InterMine registry, which shows a full list of InterMines and the various organisms they support. Find an InterMine that has the organism type you’re working with, and click on it to redirect to that InterMine
- Once you arrive at your InterMine of choice, run a query as normal - this could be a search, a list results page, a template, or a query in the query builder. Eventually you’ll be presented with an InterMine results table.
- Click on export (top right). This will bring up a modal window.
- Select “send to Galaxy” and double-check the Galaxy URL is correct.
- Click on the “Send to Galaxy” button on the bottom right of the pop-up window. Important - if you get an error at this point, please make sure to allow popups and try again.
- Ta-dah! You have now exported your query results from InterMine to Galaxy.
This workflow can also be initiated from within an InterMine without visiting the Galaxy tool first.
