Summary:
Beacon v2 is an API specification established by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health initiative (GA4GH) that defines a standard for federated discovery of genomic and phenotypic data. Here, we present the Beacon v2 Reference Implementation (B2RI), a set of open-source software tools that allow lighting up a local Beacon instance 'out-of-the-box'. Along with the software, we have created detailed 'Read the Docs' documentation that includes information on deployment and installation.
Availability And Implementation:
The B2RI is released under GNU General Public License v3.0 and Apache License v2.0. Documentation and source code is available at: https://b2ri-documentation.readthedocs.io.
Supplementary Information:
Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
