np_codeocean 0.3.10

Tools for uploading and interacting with Mindscope Neuropixels experiments on Code Ocean

np_codeocean

Tools for uploading Mindscope Neuropixels experiments to S3 (for Code Ocean).

Requires running as admin on Windows in order to create remote-to-remote symlinks on the Isilon.

Development workflow

• clone the repo, or pull with rebase
• sync the development environment using uv (see below)
• push changes to main (always commit changes to uv.lock)
• github action formats and publishes a new version
• pull the bump commit

Install

Setup/sync the development environment for working on a specific project:

uv sync --extra <dynamicrouting|openscope>

This ensures all developers are using the same package versions.

Add dependencies

For shared utilities:

uv add <package-name>

For project-specific utilities (added to optional dependency groups):

uv add <package-name> --optional <dynamicrouting|openscope>

Update dependencies

All:

uv lock --upgrade

Single package:

uv lock --upgrade-package  <package-name>

Usage

• upload CLI tool is provided, which uses the np_session interface to find and upload raw data for one ecephys session:

  pip install np_codeocean
  upload <session-id>
  

  where session-id is any valid input to np_session.Session(), e.g.:

  • a lims ID (1333741475)
  • a workgroups foldername (DRPilot_366122_20230101)
  • a path to a session folder ( \\allen\programs\mindscope\workgroups\np-exp\1333741475_719667_20240227)

• a folder of symlinks pointing to the raw data is created, with a new structure suitable for the KS2.5 sorting pipeline on Code Ocean

• the symlink folder, plus metadata, are entered into a csv file, which is submitted to http://aind-data-transfer-service, which in turn runs the aind-data-transfer tool on the HPC, which follows the symlinks to the original data, median-subtracts/scales/compresses ephys data, then uploads with the AWS CLI tool

• all compression/zipping acts on copies in temporary folders: the original raw data is not altered in anyway
