(on ubuntu, apt-get install couchdb) Install python couchdb module (easy_install couchdb) Do a git checkout of msporny's genome https://github.com/msporny/dna Edit dna/ManuSporny-genome.txt Delete all comments down to header line: # "#rsid chromosome position genotype" # then remove hash symbol Save dna/ManuSporny-genome.txt as dna/ManuSporny-genome.csv Edit load_genome.ini to reflect your setup. If you have set up couchdb running on localhost in "admin party" mode (i.e. you have set no admins) then load_genome.ini should be fine the way it is. Run load_genome.py like so: ./load_genome.py -f /path/to/csvfile -n databasename The script automatically installs a test view for you to play with. Have fun! Doug Shawhan
