How Memoization Enhances Efficiency for Large Scale Genomic Analysis Research Projects

Memoization for large scale genomic analysis allows researchers and bioinformaticians to restart from a point of failure by enabling the reuse of existing outputs. This functionality is of critical importance given the size and complexity of genomic data and the impact of a failure on workflow efficiency and overall cost. …

Develop, test and scale reproducible bioinformatics workflows with Rabix

Rabix: the toolkit for reproducible bioinformatics This summer, our development team announced the public launch of Rabix: the open source toolkit for creating and running reproducible computational workflows. Rabix was founded to overcome the challenges inherent in running reproducible bioinformatics analyses at scale. Here we show how the combination of software containers, workflow language and Rabix gives bioinformaticians the […]
