AlgoRun

AlgoRun is a packaging system for bioinformatics algorithms that ensures their reproducibility and usability across platforms. It utilizes Docker technology to package the algorithms along with their entire execution environment, thereby eliminating the problem of software dependencies and ensuring the reproducibility of computations over time. AlgoRun-packaged algorithms can be executed through a user-friendly interface directly from a web browser or via a standardized RESTful web API, and can be published on a centralized searchable directory.
