Using bio.tools to generate and annotate workbench tool descriptions.

Workbench and workflow systems such as Galaxy, Taverna, Chipster, or Common Workflow Language (CWL)-based frameworks, facilitate the access to bioinformatics tools in a user-friendly, scalable and reproducible way. Still, the integration of tools in such environments remains a cumbersome, time consuming and error-prone process. A major consequence is the incomplete or outdated description of tools that are often missing important information, including parameters and metadata such as publication or links to documentation.

Complete Genome Sequence of Myophage Mijalis.

is responsible for various opportunistic nosocomial infections. Phage therapies against may prove useful in human medicine for treatment of infections caused by the ubiquitous bacteria. Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of the Felix O1-like myophage Mijalis and present its features.

Jupyter and Galaxy: Easing entry barriers into complex data analyses for biomedical researchers.

What does it take to convert a heap of sequencing data into a publishable result? First, common tools are employed to reduce primary data (sequencing reads) to a form suitable for further analyses (i.e., the list of variable sites).

The Galaxy platform for accessible, reproducible and collaborative biomedical analyses: 2016 update.

High-throughput data production technologies, particularly 'next-generation' DNA sequencing, have ushered in widespread and disruptive changes to biomedical research. Making sense of the large datasets produced by these technologies requires sophisticated statistical and computational methods, as well as substantial computational power. This has led to an acute crisis in life sciences, as researchers without informatics training attempt to perform computation-dependent analyses.

Complete Genome Sequence of Caulobacter crescentus Podophage Percy.

Podophage Percy infects Caulobacter crescentus, a Gram-negative bacterium that divides asymmetrically and is a commonly used model organism to study the cell cycle, asymmetric cell division, and cell differentiation. Here, we announce the sequence and annotated complete genome of the phiKMV-like podophage Percy and note its prominent features.

Complete Genome Sequence of Citrobacter freundii Myophage Mordin.

Citrobacter freundii is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that is associated with urinary tract infections. Bacteriophages infecting C. freundii can be used as an effective treatment to fight these infections.
