# Jasix

### Overview

The Jasix index provides TABIX-like indexing capabilities for DRAGEN Annotation JSON output.

### Creating the Jasix index

The Jasix index file (`.jsi`) is generated on the fly with DRAGEN Annotation output. You can also generate it by running the Jasix command-line utility on a JSON output file. Jasix only consumes JSON files that follow the DRAGEN Annotation JSON output format. The following code blocks demonstrate the help menu and index generation.

#### Example

```scss
dotnet Jasix.dll -h
USAGE: dotnet Jasix.dll -i in.json.gz [options]
Indexes a Illumina Connected Annotations annotated JSON file

OPTIONS:
      --header, -t           print also the header lines
      --only-header, -H      print only the header lines
      --list, -l             list chromosome and section names
      --index, -c            create index
      --in, -i <VALUE>       input
      --out, -o <VALUE>      compressed output file name (default:console)
      --query, -q <VALUE>    query range
      --section, -s <VALUE>  complete section (positions or genes) to output
      --help, -h             displays the help menu
      --version, -v          displays the version

### Querying the index

The Jasix query format is chr:start-end. If not provided, it assumes end=start. If only chr is provided, all entries for that chromosome will be provided.

```scss
dotnet Jasix.dll -i input.json.gz chrM:5000-7000
```

```json
{
   "positions":[
      {
         "chromosome":"chrM",
         "refAllele":"C",
         "position":5581,
         "quality":3070.00,
         "filters":[

            }
         ]
      },

               "totalDepth":323,
               "genotypeQuality":1,
               "alleleDepths":[

               "vid":"MT:6267:G"
            }
         ]
      }
   ]
}

```

The default output stream is Console. However, if an output filename is provided, Jasix outputs the results to that file in a bgzip compressed format. The output is always a valid JSON entry. If requested (via -t option) the header of the indexed file will be provided. Multiple queries can be submitted in the same command and the output will contain them within the same "positions" block in order of the submitted queries (Warning: if the queries are out of order, or overlapping, the output will be out or order and intersecting).

dotnet Jasix.dll -i input.json.gz  -q chrM:5000-7000 -q chrM:8500-9500 -t

### Extracting a section

The DRAGEN Annotation JSON file has three sections: header, positions, and genes. Print the header with `-H`. To select only positions or genes, use `-s` or `--section`.

```scss
dotnet Jasix.dll -i input.json.gz  -s genes
```

```json
[
{
  "name": "ABCB10",
  "omim": [
    {
      "mimNumber": 605454,
      "geneName": "ATP-binding cassette, subfamily B, member 10"
    }
  ]
},
{
  "name": "ABCD3",
  "omim": [
    {
      "mimNumber": 170995,
      "geneName": "ATP-binding cassette, subfamily D, member 3 (peroxisomal membrane protein 1, 70kD)",
      "description": "The ABCD3 gene encodes a peroxisomal membrane transporter involved in the transport of branched-chain fatty acids and C27 bile acids into the peroxisome; the latter function is a crucial step in bile acid biosynthesis (summary by Ferdinandusse et al., 2015).",
      "phenotypes": [
        {
          "mimNumber": 616278,
          "phenotype": "?Bile acid synthesis defect, congenital, 5",
          "mapping": "molecular basis of the disorder is known",
          "inheritances": [
            "Autosomal recessive"
          ],
          "comments": [
            "unconfirmed or possibly spurious mapping"
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
]
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.bioinsight.illumina.com/annotation/utilities/jasix.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
