Reproducible bioinformatics project: a community for reproducible bioinformatics analysis pipelines

Reproducible research: a bioinformatics case study.

While scientific research and the methodologies involved have gone through substantial technological evolution the technology involved in the publication of the results of these endeavors has remained relatively stagnant. Publication is largely done in the same manner today as it was fifty years ago. Many journals have adopted electronic formats, however, their orientation and style is little d...

Bioinformatics Training Network (BTN): a community resource for bioinformatics trainers

Funding bodies are increasingly recognizing the need to provide graduates and researchers with access to short intensive courses in a variety of disciplines, in order both to improve the general skills base and to provide solid foundations on which researchers may build their careers. In response to the development of 'high-throughput biology', the need for training in the field of bioinformati...

Deriving Chemosensitivity from Cell Lines: Forensic Bioinformatics and Reproducible Research in High-throughput Biology

High-throughput biological assays such as microarrays let us ask very detailed questions about how diseases operate, and promise to let us personalize therapy. Data processing, however, is often not described well enough to allow for exact reproduction of the results, leading to exercises in “forensic bioinformatics” where aspects of raw data and reported results are used to infer what methods ...

CSS Corpus for Reproducible Analysis

Reproducibility of research heavily depends on the availability of the datasets from the experiments in the context of metaprogramming, the corpus of the code that was used to run the analyses and transformations. In the case of CSS, the problem is even more acute since the web is a constantly changing environment where the same address can refer to a frequently changing artefact. In this repor...
