Workflow Overview
This Galaxy workflow allows transferring ARC imaging data stored as .ZIP file to a target OMERO instance by 1) keeping the ARC structure and 2) automatize the metadata annotation of the assay.
How does it works
The workflow extract all the ./assays/experiment/dataset/ file path and create an OMERO dataset containing the images. The "isa.assay.xlsx" file is used to add key-value pairs to the dataset.
Workflow Inputs
The workflow as three different data inputs:
- ARC .ZIP file: A zip file with the whole ARC. Can be downloaded from the DataPLANT ARC repo
- Image File Extension: Image formats (e.g. TIFF, PNG, JPEG) to upload into OMERO
- Target OMERO instance: OMERO instance where to upload the data
- Depth of the ARC dataset folder: How depth after ./assays/experiment/dataset/ images are stored. As example if images are assays/CLSM-stacks_oryzalin/dataset/treated the depth need to be set to 1. If assays/CLSM-stacks_oryzalin/dataset the depth need to be set to 0
