GeneLab utils

Some helper programs for NASA GeneLab, such as GL-download-GLDS-data for downloading files from a specific OSD or GLDS ID, and GL-get-workflow for downloading workflows used by GeneLab for processing datasets.

---

Conda install

The genelab-utils package should be installed with conda/mamba. If you are not familiar with conda, you can find an introduction here if wanted, and if you are not familiar with mamba, there is a super-short introduction on that same page here if wanted – it's definitely worth using mamba if you use conda at all 👍

conda install -c conda-forge -n base mamba

mamba create -n genelab-utils -c conda-forge -c bioconda -c defaults -c astrobiomike genelab-utils

conda activate genelab-utils

All programs are prefixed with GL- and have a help menu accessible with -h. Version info can be accessed with GL-version.
