dx as an invocation command for navigating the data objects on the DNAnexus platform. By adding dx in front of commonly used bash commands (e.g. dx ls, dx cd, dx mv, and dx cp), you can list objects, change folders, move data objects, and copy objects stored in the platform; all on the command-line./ of the project. You can list the objects and folders in your current folder with dx ls.dx ls -l.:, then the path within the project where / is the root folder of the project." "), so dx interprets the spaces as part of the folder name, not as a new command.* as a wildcard to represent all objects whose names contain .fasta. This returns only a subset of the objects returned in the original query. Again we enclosed our path in " " so dx correctly interprets the asterisk and the spaces in the path.dx pwd command. You can switch contexts to a subfolder in a project using dx cd.ce10.fasta.gz to C.elegans10.fastq.gz.dx cp. Below we show an example to copy a human reference genome FASTA file (hs37d5.fa.gz) from a public project, “Reference Genome Files”, to a project “Scratch Project” that the user has ADMINISTER permission to.dx cp folder_name destination_path. Folders will automatically be copied recursively.NOTE: The platform does NOT allow copying a data object within the same project, since each specific data object would exist only once in a project. Additionally, it is prohibited to copy any data object between projects that located in different cloud regions throughdx cp.
dx select. It brings up a prompt with a list of projects for you to select from. In the following example, the user has entered option 2 to select the project named "Mouse".dx select --public:dx select will prompt list of projects that you have at least CONTRIBUTE permission to. If you wanted to switch to a project that you have VIEW permission to to view the data objects, you can run dx select --level VIEW to list all the projects in which you have at least VIEW permission to.dx select [project-ID | project-name]:
