Lightweight API for Sequences (LAPIS)

This is a generalized Lightweight API for Sequences. It uses SILO as database for storing and querying the sequence data.

You can find the code for LAPIS in the lapis directory, the documentation for LAPIS in the lapis-docs directory, and the end-to-end tests in the lapis-e2e directory.

Creating A Release

This project uses Release Please to generate releases. On every commit on the main branch, it will update a Pull Request with a changelog. When the PR is merged, the release will be created. Creating a release means:

• A new Git tag is created.
• The Docker images of lapis and lapis-docs are tagged with the new version.
  • Suppose the created version is 2.4.5, then it creates the tags 2, 2.4 and 2.4.5.

The changelog and the version number are determined by the commit messages. Therefore, commit messages should follow the Conventional Commits specification. Also refer to the Release Please documentation for more information on how to write commit messages.

SILO Compatibility

This table shows which LAPIS version is required for which SILO version:
