Cluster Flow

Cluster Flow manages and executes reproducible bioinformatics pipelines for Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data analysis on cluster and high-performance computing environments.

Key Features:

• Predefined Modules: Includes 40 pre-configured modules tailored for common Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) processing steps.
• Flexible Pipeline Assembly: Allows pipelines to be constructed and modified using a simple syntax for customizable workflows.
• Automation of Common Procedures: Provides core helper functions that automate routine NGS tasks.
• Reproducibility: Manages workflows through a pipeline manager to promote reproducible analyses across runs and environments.
• Cluster and HPC Integration: Leverages common cluster managers to execute workflows on high-performance computing (HPC) environments.

Scientific Applications:

• NGS data analysis pipelines: Assembling and executing multi-step NGS data processing pipelines.
• Large-scale genomic studies: Processing and integrating multiple bioinformatics tools for analyses of large genomic datasets.

Methodology:

Assembles and manages pipelines via a pipeline manager and submits jobs through common cluster managers to run on high-performance computing environments.
