Hi Miuki

There's two aspects to iRODS and Galaxy. Firstly, there is the Galaxy object store which can store objects in iRODS. This is entirely hidden from the user and they have no idea that their datasets are in iRODS. Some work on that happened earlier in this year, see:

https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Community/Log/2015/GalaxyIrodsConnection

Then there is the question of iRODS import/export. See this thread from earlier this year: http://dev.list.galaxyproject.org/iRODS-td4669076.html - Iyad Kandalaft (http://www.goc411.ca/en/8192/Iyad-Kandalaft) mentioned some future work on import/export. As part of the B3Africa project some colleagues of ours are also investigating iRODS import/export. I think it might be useful to make a GitHub issue describing the problem and have people comment on there.

I had a brief look at the iRODS python client library and it seems to be in a relatively early state of development (https://github.com/irods/python-irodsclient) but it is definitely usable.

Hello Galaxy Team,

We're from the Bioinformatics Shared Resources (BSR) at Cold Spring Harbor Labs and we're looking to implement irods on a newly installed version of Galaxy.

We want to incorporate iRODS (http://irods.org/). Is there a recommended way to do this, or no?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Best,
Miuki Yip
