What's the best/easiest way for accessing .bam/.cram files from S3?
I have .bam/.bai .cram/.crai and .bed + .gff files that I want to make available easily to others so they can browse in IGV and other solutions from their computers. There seem to be different solutions after cursory Googling, what would you recommend?
Here is what I've found so far:
IGV:

- https://umccr.org/blog/igv-amazon-backend-setup/
Samtools: samtools directly supports AWS
The full URL format is:
s3[+SCHEME]://[ID[:SECRET[:TOKEN]]@]BUCKET/PATH
