The server side application of the BRowse All Variants Online (BRAVO) project.
For running an instance of Bravo API, install as a package.
python -m pip install git+https://github.com/statgen/bravo_api.git@main
See Development section for developer installation.
#!/bin/sh
# Example run script for local development
# Activate venv if present.
[ -d 'venv' ] && source 'venv/bin/activate'
export FLASK_ENV=development
export FLASK_APP=bravo_api
# Confige file is relative to the instance directory.
export BRAVO_API_INSTANCE_DIR='/var/local/bravo/instance'

flask run --port 9090
Or use gunicorn in production instead of flask run
gunicorn -b 127.0.0.1:9090 -w 5 -k gevent "bravo_api:create_app()"
The runtime data on disk needs to be present before running.
/var/local/bravo/data
└── runtime
├── cache
├── coverage
├── crams
└── reference
The paths to the runtime data needs to be specified in the config.py
BASE_DIR = os.path.join(os.sep, 'var', 'local', 'bravo', 'data', 'runtime')
COVERAGE_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'coverage')
SEQUENCES_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'crams')
SEQUENCES_CACHE_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'cache')
REFERENCE_SEQUENCE = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'reference', 'chr11_hs38DH.fa')
MongoDB needs to be pupulated with the basis data prior to running the api.

The pysam wheel provided from pypi does not include S3 support. Pysam needs to be build with the "--enable-s3" option.
HTSLIB_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--enable-s3"
pip install pysam --force-reinstall --no-binary :all:
Checkout and install as editable package with development and testing extras.
git clone https://github.com/statgen/bravo_api.git
cd bravo_api
python -m pip install -e .[dev,test]
When installed as editable package, run pytest
from root dir or anywhere in tests dir.
# Run the tests
pytest
Top level testconf.py in the tests directory prevents marked tests from running. In order to run marked tests in addition to the unmarked, provide a match expression.
# Run integration tests
pytest -m 'integration'
A low overhead (not constantly polling) method of running pytest
anytime a .py file is changed
can be achieved using fd
and entr
in a separate terminal.
Only thing this won't pick up is new files.
fd '.*\.py$' | entr -c pytest
