Reproducibility and sustainability present significant challenges in bioinformatics software development, where rapidly evolving tools and complex workflows often result in short-lived or difficult-to-adapt pipelines. This paper introduces…
Processing high-throughput DNA sequencing data of individuals or populations requires stringing together independent software tools with many parameters, often leading to non-reproducible pipelines and datasets. We developed grenepipe to…
The rise of big data systems has created a need for benchmarks to measure and compare the capabilities of these systems. Big data benchmarks present unique scalability challenges. The supercomputing community has wrestled with these…
Systematic reviews, which entail the extraction of data from large numbers of scientific documents, are an ideal avenue for the application of machine learning. They are vital to many fields of science and philanthropy, but are very…
Biosciences have been revolutionized by next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies in last years, leading to new perspectives in medical, industrial and environmental applications. And although our motivation comes from biosciences, the…
Compendium Manager is a command-line tool written in Python to automate the provisioning, launch, and evaluation of bioinformatics pipelines. Although workflow management tools such as Snakemake and Nextflow enable users to automate the…
The aim of this paper is to develop an approach to visualizations that benefits from distributed computing. Three schemes of process distribution are considered: parallel, pipeline, and expanding pipeline computations. Expanding pipeline…
Applying machine learning to biological sequences - DNA, RNA and protein - has enormous potential to advance human health, environmental sustainability, and fundamental biological understanding. However, many existing machine learning…
The marine environment is one of the most important sources for microbial biodiversity on the planet. These microbes are drivers for many biogeochemical processes, and their enormous genetic potential is still not fully explored or…
Machine learning (ML) offers powerful methods for detecting and modeling associations often in data with large feature spaces and complex associations. Many useful tools/packages (e.g. scikit-learn) have been developed to make the various…
