BiocBook

BiocBook enables authors to write, containerize, publish, and version Quarto books that compile biological and bioinformatics knowledge with reproducible computational examples.

Key Features:

• Book authoring: Authors compile a body of biological and/or bioinformatics knowledge into a structured Quarto book format.
• Containerization: Docker images are provided to reproduce the examples illustrated in the compendium.
• Publication: Online books are deployed to disseminate the compiled compendium.
• Versioning: Specific online book versions and Docker images are automatically generated for specific Bioconductor releases.

Scientific Applications:

• Knowledge compilation: Scientists and educators compile and disseminate biological and bioinformatics knowledge in reproducible, versioned formats tied to Bioconductor releases.

Methodology:

BiocBook uses the Quarto book format as its underlying document structure, with Docker containerization for reproducibility and automated generation of version-specific outputs for Bioconductor releases.
