A review of bioinformatic pipeline frameworks
نویسنده
چکیده
High-throughput bioinformatic analyses increasingly rely on pipeline frameworks to process sequence and metadata. Modern implementations of these frameworks differ on three key dimensions: using an implicit or explicit syntax, using a configuration, convention or class-based design paradigm and offering a command line or workbench interface. Here I survey and compare the design philosophies of several current pipeline frameworks. I provide practical recommendations based on analysis requirements and the user base.

Application of policy analysis frameworks in tobacco control research: A systematic review of qualitative literature
Background: Tobacco consumption is still considered as the first preventable cause of death in the world. In order to influence tobacco policy process, researchers and policymakers must use frameworks of policy-making to understand the process to provide them insights for influence the process. This systematic review aims to review the application of policy analysis framework...
متن کاملA Bioinformatic Pipeline for Monitoring of the Mutational Stability of Viral Drug Targets with Deep-Sequencing Technology
The efficient development of antiviral drugs, including efficient antiviral small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), requires continuous monitoring of the strict correspondence between a drug and the related highly variable viral DNA/RNA target(s). Deep sequencing is able to provide an assessment of both the general target conservation and the frequency of particular mutations in the different target s...

متن کاملEngineering a high-performance SNP detection pipeline
We present Sprite, a bioinformatic data analysis pipeline for detecting single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human genome. A SNP detection pipeline for next-generation sequencing data uses several software tools, including tools for read preprocessing, read alignment, and SNP calling. We target end-to-end scalability and I/O efficiency in Sprite by merging tools in this pipeline and el...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Crystal Engineering from Nanoscience Views: A Brief Review
Crystal engineering has recently emerged as a method of choice for the design and construction of organic as well as metal-organic functional materials. Crystal engineering attempts to establish packing trends in whole families of compounds and seeks to establish connections between structure and function. The utility of crystal engineering has also been expanded to the nanoscience and the deve...
