OpenCGA is an open-source project that aims to provide a Big Data storage engine and analysis framework for genomic scale data analysis of hundreds of terabytes or even petabytes. OpenCGA provides a scalable and high-performance Storage Engine framework to index biological data such as BAM or VCF files using different NoSQL databases, currently only MongoDB has been fully developed. A data analytics and genomic Analysis layer interface has been implemented over this big data storage index. A metadata Catalog has also been developed to provide authentification and ACLs and to keep track all of files and sample annotation. All these can be queried through a comprehensive RESTful web services API or using the command line interface.
OpenCGA constitutes the big data analysis component of OpenCB initiative. It is used by other projects such as EMBL-EBI EVA, Babelomics or BierApp.

OpenCGA is an open-source and collaborative project. We appreciate any help and feedback from users, you can contribute in many different ways such as simple bug reporting and feature request. Dependending on your skills you are more than welcome to develop client tools, new features, or even fix bugs.
OpenCGA is mainly developed in Java and it uses Apache Maven as building tool. OpenCGA requires Java 8, in particular JDK 1.8.0_60+, and other OpenCB dependencies that can be found in Maven Central Repository.
Stable releases are merged and tagged at master branch, you are encourage to use latest stable release for production. Current active development is carried out at develop branch and need Java 8, in particular JDK 1.8.0_60+, only compilation is guaranteed and bugs are expected, use this branch for development or for testing new functionalities. Dependencies of master branch are ensured to be deployed at Maven Central Repository, but dependencies for develop branch may require users to download and install the following git repositories from OpenCB:
- java-common-libs: https://github.com/opencb/java-common-libs (branch 'develop')
- biodata: https://github.com/opencb/biodata (branch 'develop')
- cellbase: https://github.com/opencb/cellbase (branch 'develop')
- oskar: https://github.com/opencb/oskar (branch 'develop')

Remember that develop branch dependencies are not ensured to be deployed at Maven Central, you may need to clone and install develop branches from OpenCB biodata, datastore and cellbase repositories. After this you should have this file structure in opencga/build:
build/
├── analysis
├── bin
├── clients
├── cloud
├── conf
├── libs
├── LICENSE
├── opencga-2.0.0.war
├── README.md
├── misc
└── test
You can copy the content of the build folder into the installation directory such as /opt/opencga.
You can run the unit tests using Maven or your favorite IDE. Just notice that some tests may require of certain database back-ends such as MongoDB or Apache HBase and may fail if they are not available.
If the build process has gone well you should get an integrated help by executing:
./bin/opencga.sh --help
You can find more detailed documentation and tutorials at: https://github.com/opencb/opencga/wiki.
We try to improve the admin experience by making the installation and build as simple as possible. Unfortunately, for some OpenCGA components and functionalities other dependencies are required.
At this moment there are two variant storage engines available: MongoDB and Apache HBase
