making reproducible, portable and reusable bioinformatics software&pipelines 🧬💻

Reproducibility is a major principle underpinning the scientific method, and it is of pivotal importance for bioinformatics studies. Bioinformatics analyses are typically the results of pipelines of software packages, each one having multiple running options and frequent updates that often changes their default behaviors. Moreover, bioinformatics softwares extensively rely on external libraries/packages, thus limiting the portability and reusability of the software, requiring to properly install and configur a large amount of dependencies, and building/compiling of the application on different target systems. Containers are the solutions to most of the above issues.

🤝The workshop is organized in collaboration with RSG Italy (italian regional student group of ISCB).

📖 PREREQUISITES: Basic knowledge of Linux-based operating systems (e.g. Ubuntu) and Linux terminals is required.
