Automating Bioinformatics Pipelines with Snakemake


  • Provided by: ISU, SCINet Office

This hands-on workshop introduces Snakemake, a workflow management system that brings the readability of Python to scalable, reproducible computational pipelines. We will start with simple examples and build to a real-world bioinformatics pipeline — learning how Snakemake’s rule-based, file-driven approach automatically determines job dependencies, handles parallel execution, and integrates seamlessly with Python scripts and virtual environments to produce publication-ready outputs.
