A bioinformatics workflow management system is a specialized form of workflow management system designed specifically to compose and execute a series of computational or data manipulation steps, or a workflow, that relate to bioinformatics. There are currently many different workflow systems. Some have been developed more generally as scientific workflow systems for use by scientists from many different disciplines like astronomy and earth science. All such systems are based on an abstract representation of how a computation proceeds in the form of a directed graph, where each node represents a task to be executed and edges represent either data flow or execution dependencies between different tasks. Each system typically provides visual front-end allowing the user to build and modify complex applications with little or no programming expertise. ==Examples== In alphabetical order, some examples of bioinformatics workflow management systems include: * Anduril bioinformatics and image analysis * Anvaya Workflows: Anvaya is a software application consisting of interface to Bioinformatics tools and databases in a workflow environment, to execute the set of analyses tools in series or in parallel. * BioExtract: a web-based system for querying biomolecular sequence data, executing analytic tools on the resulting extracts, and constructing workflows composed of such queries and tools. * BioBIKE: a Web-based, programmable, integrated biological knowledge base * UGENE provides a workflow management system that is installed on a local computer * Chipster: a user-friendly analysis software for microarray data * Discovery Net: one of the earliest examples of a scientific workflow system, later commercialized as InforSense which was then acquired by IDBS. * Galaxy: initially targeted at genomics * GeneProf: web based functional genomics experiments, e.g. RNA-seq or ChIP-seq * KNIME the Konstanz Information Miner * OnlineHPC Online workflow designer based on Taverna * SeqWare: Hadoop Oozie-based workflow system focused on genomics data analysis in cloud environments. * Tavaxy A cloud-based bioinformatics workflow system that integrates features from both Taverna and Galaxy for NGS data analysis. * Taverna workbench:〔 〕 an early domain-independent system widely used in bioinformatics and other areas of e-Science * VisTrails 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「bioinformatics workflow management system」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
