Tool Registry Service (TRS)

Provides a standard mechanism to list, search, and retrieve tools and workflows across multiple registries

SummaryBenefitsTarget usersAnnouncements

Researchers use genomics tools and workflows to conduct analyses in cloud computing environments. Tools and workflows, however, are often developed for a specific environment and are stored in a registry that services only associated platforms. Since each registry requires the tools and workflows it stores to meet a unique set of criteria, the contents of one registry are not guaranteed to work across multiple cloud environments. This lack of interoperability slows research and limits the variety of analyses that researchers can perform. Developed by the GA4GH Cloud Work Stream, the Tool Registry Service (TRS) API provides a standard mechanism to list, search, and register tools and workflows across multiple registries.
