Programm
Snakemake: Reproducible and Scalable Workflow Management
Snakemake is a Python-based workflow manager that helps you to formalize your data analysis in a reproducible, scalable, and portable way, including deployment on high-performance computing (HPC) facilities.
In this session, Christiane Hassenrück, bioinformatician at the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research, Warnemünde (IOW) will introduce:
- The basics of the snakemake logic for defining workflows consisting of several interdependent analysis steps (rules)
- Software integration via Conda
- Workflow deployment on an HPC cluster
Nextflow: Flexible and Scalable Workflows for Science
Nextflow is a powerful workflow framework designed for scalability and flexibility, making it ideal for complex bioinformatics analyses.
Fabian Billenkamp, bioinformatician at the Institute for Animal Nutrition, Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (Braunschweig), will provide an easy-to-follow introduction, covering:
- Nextflow’s core concepts and unique features
- Practical workflow examples from microbiome and transcriptome research
