myExperiment

myExperiment hosts and shares bioinformatics workflows to enable discovery, reuse, and adaptation of computational procedures for data retrieval, integration, analysis, and visualization.

Key Features:

• Workflow Repository: Hosts over 1000 distinct workflows, each composed of a series of computational tasks executed via web services.
• Programmatic Access: Provides a REST web service for programmatic retrieval and interaction with workflows.
• Community Sharing: Supports social sharing, feedback, and credit mechanisms to facilitate collaborative development of workflows.
• Contribution and Reusability: Enables registered users (over 3500) to submit workflows for reuse and adaptation in new research contexts.

Scientific Applications:

• Reproducible Analysis: Enables sharing of complete workflows to support reproducible bioinformatics analyses.
• Data Retrieval and Integration: Uses workflows and web services to perform automated data retrieval and integration tasks.
• Data Analysis and Visualization: Facilitates adaptation of workflows for diverse data analysis and visualization pipelines.

Methodology:

Workflows consist of series of computational tasks executed via web services, with programmatic access provided through a REST web service.
