BioExcel Building Blocks workflows
In this page, users can find a list of all available BioExcel Building Blocks workflows. Each workflow has its own set of WorkflowHub flavours (Jupyter Notebook, CWL, pure Python and Galaxy), along with a set of links for launching it. Links to documentation and GitHub repository are provided as well.
They can also be found in a GitHub repository in all their versions with all the instructions and sample files needed for executing them at home in the users' own premises.
Please be sure to use a recent conda version before installing and running our workflows. Keeping your conda outdated can lead to odd behaviors and incompatibilities, and consequently, resulting in having to install more dependencies than the provided in the repository.
Please help us to improve the BioExcel Building Blocks by filling in our 2023 survey.
