The Common Workflow Language (CWL) is an open standard for describing analysis workflows and tools in a way that makes them portable and scalable across a variety of software and hardware environments, from workstations to cluster, cloud, and high performance computing (HPC) environments. CWL is designed to meet the needs of data-intensive science, such as Bioinformatics, Medical Imaging, Astronomy, High Energy Physics, and Machine Learning.CWL is developed by a multi-vendor working group consisting ...

The BioExcel Building Blocks (biobb) software library is a collection of Python wrappers on top of popular biomolecular simulation tools. This library offers a layer of interoperability between the wrapped tools, which make them compatible and prepared to be directly interconnected to build complex biomolecular workflows. The building blocks can be used in many different workflow systems, including Galaxy, CWL, Jupyter Notebook and PyCOMPSs – notably their ...

Tutorial and specification for packaging IEEE 2791-2020 (BioCompute Objects/BCOs) as RO-Crate Research Objects.

BioCompute Object (BCO) is a standard (IEEE 2791-2020) for describing computational workflows for regularory submission, e.g. a genomics workflow as part of personalized medicine.

RO-Crate is a community-based specification for research data packaging of Research Objects with rich metadata, based on open standards and vocabularies like JSON-LD and schema.org.

BCO RO-Crate is the combination ...

This BioExcel best practice guide outlines the development process for writing a workflow using the Common Workflow Language (CWL), from creating and selecting tools like BioBB, through early experimentation, reuse and testing, to optimization and ensuring reproducibility before publication in workflow repositories.

BioCompute Object (BCO) is a standard (IEEE 2791-2020) for describing computational workflows for regularory submission, e.g. a genomics workflow as part of personalized medicine.

RO-Crate is a community-based specification for research data packaging of Research Objects with rich metadata, based on open standards and vocabularies like JSON-LD and schema.org.

BCO RO-Crate is the combination of these two approaches, packaging a BCO and the workflow it describes in a RO-Crate.

This BioExcel best practice guide discusses the workflow engines available for the Common Workflow Language (CWL).

In the recent years, the improvement of software and hardware performance has made biomolecular simulations a mature tool for the study of biological processes. Simulation length and the size and complexity of the analyzed systems make simulations both complementary and compatible with other bioinformatics disciplines. However, the characteristics of the software packages used for simulation have prevented the adoption of the technologies accepted in other bioinformatics fields ...
