Introduction to the Biodepot-workflow-builder (Bwb)

BioDepot-workflow-builder (Bwb) is a software tool that allows users to create and interactively execute reproducible bioinformatics workflows using a drag-and-drop interface. Graphical widgets control Docker containers executing a modular task. Widgets are linked graphically to build bioinformatics workflows that can be reproducibly deployed across different local and cloud platforms. Each widget contains a form-based user interface to facilitate parameter entry, and a console to display intermediate results. Bwb is designed for rapid customization of widgets, containers and workflows.
