Score's primary function is to facilitate the secure upload and download of file data to and from an object storage provider.
Score specializes in data transfer, leaving metadata complexities to its companion application, Song. Song manages metadata validation and tracking, maintaining a separate repository from object storage. Together, Score and Song provide an efficient solution for distributed data organization.
Score offers a high-performance multipart transfer system with several advantages:
- Enables segmented file downloads, allowing for pause and resume functionality
- Automatically resumes file transfers if interrupted, for instance, due to connection issues
- Utilizes parallelization for efficient and rapid file uploads and downloads
- Score guarantees file transfer authenticity by conducting MD5 validations on all file uploads and downloads
- Score client incorporates samtools features, enabling viewing of reads from BAM files
- Provides the capability to slice BAM and CRAM files by genomic regions using command line tools
The Score Client is a user-friendly CLI tool designed to streamline the process of interacting with Score and Song. Key features of the Score Client include:
- File Management: Users can efficiently upload and download files using manifest files retrieved from data portals
- File Metadata Handling: The Score Client facilitates the uploading of file metadata, including object IDs and md5 checksums to Song, ensuring that data is consistently tracked and accessible
