A challenge for computational biologists is to make our analyses reproducible - that is, easy to rerun, combine, and share, with the assurance that equivalent runs will generate identical results. Current best practice aims at this using a combination of package managers, workflow engines, and containers.
In this webinar, Justin will present BioNix, a lightweight library built on the Nix deployment system. BioNix manages software dependencies, computational environments, and workflow stages together using a single abstraction: pure functions. BioNix lets users specify workflows in a clean, uniform way, with strong reproducibility guarantees.
