Introduction Today, we will continue our journey into the current state-of-the-art of bioinformatics tools that make use of nVidia’s CUDA API. I will discuss specific bioinformatics problems, the default tools that are used in the industry and the possible Graphics Processor (GPU) based alternatives. If you want to read more about the history and purpose […]

One of the biggest changes within the field of bioinformatics is the rise of the framework. Frameworks are the professionalization of analysis pipelines, constructed with software development and data science in mind. With this series of blogs I will discuss a few that have crossed my path, and try to explain the essence of their design philosophy. In part three, I will focus on SnakeMake, the modern Make alternative.

One of the biggest changes within the field of bioinformatics is the rise of the framework. Frameworks are the professionalization of analysis pipelines, constructed with software development and data science in mind. With this series of blogs I will discuss a few that have crossed my path, and try to explain the essence of their design philosophy. It will not be a straight forward choice to pick the framework that suits your workflow best, but I hope these posts will help. Part 1 discusses the precursors of frameworks: Bash and Make.
