This article will help you to upload and evaluate results generated from non-Miqa-executed analyses (e.g. from local/on-premises compute including HPC, development machines, etc., or from other third-party or remote executions). You may compare these results against each other and/or against results of Miqa-executed cloud analyses, and track and report longitudinally as with any other execution results on Miqa.
To do so, simply create a new "Offline-version" of your Miqa Workflow and upload your result files to allow post-processing, parsing, and version-to-version or sample-to-sample comparisons on these files.
This article describes the manual process to upload results from local files. To do this at-scale and point to files that are already stored in an accessible cloud bucket, see Batch Upload/Processing of Offline Results.
Tutorial
Start by navigating to the Dataset page corresponding to the dataset that was evaluated offline, by clicking the name of the dataset from the Datasets view.
Note: If you do not yet have a corresponding dataset page in Miqa, first create the dataset.
From the Dataset view, click + New Offline-Version and enter a name corresponding to the version of your pipeline that was used to generate these results. We recommend being as specific as possible with the Version Name for traceable result reporting.
You will be redirected to a newly created Execution page that represents your offline execution. Upload your locally generated output files to the execution using the drag-and-drop control or clicking in the box to open the file browser. Click Complete to complete the execution, which will automatically begin any post-processing.
To add results from another offline version for comparison, return to the Dataset page by clicking the Dataset name link in the Details panel of the completed execution page. Repeat steps 2-3 above to create a new offline-version and upload result files.
To add offline results for another dataset on one of your recently added Offline-Versions, navigate to that dataset's page as described in step 1, and then choose the name of the Offline-Version from the Existing Offline-Version dropdown menu as shown below (do not add a new Offline-Version). This will allow you to link results corresponding to the same pipeline version across datasets.
Uploading Large or Nested Results
If you have large files or nested results, you will need to use direct cloud upload (instructions) or upload using the Miqa CLI tools (request access).
