Ep 32: Best Practices - Pipeline Development, Part Three

Summary This episode of the Bioinformatics Lab Podcast continues the conversation on public health pipeline best practices. The focus is on pipeline functionality, documentation for local install and remote access, and example usage. The hosts discuss the importance of clearly articulating the function of a pipeline and the different pipeline systems available. They emphasize the need for documentation that includes instructions for installation and usage, as well as providing example data. The episode concludes with a call to read the best practices document and the announcement of future efforts to promote and assess adherence to these practices. Takeaways Clearly articulate the function of a pipeline in the field of public health bioinformatics. Use pipeline systems like Galaxy and Terra to visually represent and manage workflows. Provide clear documentation for local installation and remote access of pipelines. Include example usage and data to facilitate understanding and testing of pipelines.
