Can external data be imported into the UKB-RAP?

  • Updated 29 October 2026 08:45

Yes. External data can be uploaded to project storage through the DNAnexus web platform User Interface, or the Command Line Interface (CLI). Please note, you are responsible for the costs of your storage (see here). 

Data cannot be uploaded directly to an instance. However, users can access external data from within an instance by using the CLI command 'dx download'.
