Yabi

Yabi orchestrates bioinformatics workflows and manages execution across pluggable compute and data backends to enable chaining of compute-intensive tasks for large-scale biomedical data analysis.

Key Features:

• Adaptable Architecture: Pluggable execution and data backends enable integration with heterogeneous high-performance computing (HPC) resources.
• Workflow Chaining: Chains discrete compute-intensive tasks into comprehensive analysis procedures.
• Command-Line Access: Provides command-line access for script-based interactions and integration with external workflow environments.
• Tool Configuration without Scripting: Enables configuration and management of tools without requiring users to write or edit scripts.
• Secure Data Management: Manages large volumes of raw and processed data across geographically distributed compute resources with security considerations.
• Scalability and Reusability: Supports scalable workflow execution and workflow reuse to promote reproducibility in large-scale analyses.

Scientific Applications:

• Large-scale biomedical data analysis: Orchestrates pipelines for analyses involving large raw and processed biomedical datasets.
• Bioinformatics workflow management: Manages complex bioinformatics workflows composed of compute-intensive tasks across HPC infrastructures.
• Reproducible HPC analyses: Enables scalable and reusable workflows to support reproducible analyses on heterogeneous compute resources.

Methodology:

Workflows are constructed by chaining discrete compute-intensive tasks and executed via pluggable execution and data backends across distributed high-performance computing resources while managing raw and processed data.
