What is the most rational way and technology to write your own web-interface to Linux tools like fastq-dump? Does anyone have an experience? What if not using Galaxy and Yabi with Taverna.
this is just suggestion not an answer,
what about write your own
.cgiscript in/usr/lib/cgi-binit will be simple web page that will do your work (as you can see this is super simple but of course if you aim to build something more complicated this is not your solution )
Is the point being able to access the tools from the web or having a user friendly UI? If it's just for the former, you can just use some kind of web-terminal interface (http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/).
If you want a user friendly UI that non-computational people can use, then I would just use something off the shelf like Galaxy. In my experience, while it is fun trying to develop a web app to interface with these tools, it is also something that becomes a never-ending maintenance project. Unless you are leveraging this as a showcase for your skills in order to fill your CV for potential tech industry jobs or just for self learning, it is not worth the effort.
yeah couldn't you just like use a Jupyter notebook, essentially? Make system calls via Python.
