<p>
- Data oriented sciences are experiencing a <strong>reproducibility crisis</strong>. It has become
- unexpectedly challenging to even understand how analyses are performed and even more
- difficult to repeat the same process again.
+ We have developed a novel, python-based web application that allows scientists to document, distribute, rerun and
+ modify data analysis scripts. We call these analysis scripts <strong>"bioinformatics recipes"</strong>.
</p>
-
<p>
- This site was designed to help scientists share, document, distribute and rerun
- data analysis scripts. We call these scripts <b>recipes</b>. Recipes are designed
- to facilitate the distribution, the sharing and the reuse of bioinformatics pipelines
+ Our application provides access to scientists that may not be proficient in using command line tools by
+ creating an easy-to-use graphical interface for each recipe. Users adapt, modify and remix recipes to match
+ their needs, then share these on the same site. By supporting these interactions, we foster a collaborative
+ environment that facilitates creativity, efficiency and reproducibility.
</p>
+ <p>
+ Besides storing, sharing and executing data analysis scripts, our software supports public and private
+ project-based workflows and can provide complete data storage and management solutions as a laboratory
+ information management system. The application is designed to serve sequencing facilities and has been
+ deployed and tested within the Penn State Bioinformatics Consulting Center
