Research Information Reproducibility of scientific experiments is required for allowing results of high fidelity to the environment, and to permit transparency in research. More specifically, in large bioinformatics pipelines, result datasets can be deterministically produced by a series of computing steps. Converting bioinformatics pipelines into scripts is often equated with reproducibility, but it is only one step towards a complete solution. For instance, in addition to command sequences, the input parameters and input datasets should also be tracked. Furthermore, data science is an iterative process, and pipelines can take multiple core-years to complete. So it becomes important to also track how […]
