Computing Workflows for Biologists: A Roadmap

Ashley Shade and Tracy K Teal

PLOS Biology, 2015, vol. 13, issue 11, 1-10

Abstract: Extremely large datasets have become routine in biology. However, performing a computational analysis of a large dataset can be overwhelming, especially for novices. Here, we present a step-by-step guide to computing workflows with the biologist end-user in mind. Starting from a foundation of sound data management practices, we make specific recommendations on how to approach and perform computational analyses of large datasets, with a view to enabling sound, reproducible biological research.With the biologist in mind, this Community Page presents a practical strategy for computing workflows that emphasizes reproducible research.
