About other formats

Pheno-Ranker leverages the data harmonization of GA4GH standards. However, to promote broader adoption, we also support other formats like raw JSON/YAML and CSV.

YAML / JSONCSV

Pheno-Ranker a priori accepts as input "any" JSON or YAML array file. In order to do it, you'll need a configuration file. See a tutorial on how to use it here.

What do you mean by "any" JSON or YAML?

Pheno-Ranker is capable of processing deeply nested data structures but has its limitations. If your data includes arrays nested more than one level deep, we recommend you that you tranform the 2D (or more) nested array elements into objects.

We developed an utility that converts CSV files to JSON and automatically creates the configuration file needed. See an example on how to use it here.
