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 ...

Presented at the BioExcel Summer School 2021 this lecture introduces the BioExcel Building Blocks (BioBB).

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 ...

This PyCOMPSs workflow tutorial aims to illustrate the process of setting up a simulation system containing a protein, step by step, using the BioExcel Building Blocks library (biobb) in PyCOMPSs for execution on HPC. Three variants of the MD Setup workflows are included, supporting a list of structures, a list of mutations, or a cumulative set of mutations.

Selection of BioExcel Building Blocks (BioBB) Workflows, across three workflow languages (jupyter notebooks, CWL, and Galaxy), demonstrating the use of BioBB tool descriptors for each of these systems.
