With #WESkit we are participating in the ongoing #BioHackEU22 . Our aim is to improve the integration with #GA4GH task execution services, such as #TESK and #Funnel, and allow WESkit to operate in a distributed data processing architecture across Europe and elsewhere. Day 3 of the #biohackathon starts soon!

We will present a poster on WESkit at the 10th GA4GH Plenary Meeting that takes place in Barcelona this week, September, 21. and 22.. Our poster will be poster Nr. 20 and if you interested in workflow execution infrastracture, we may have chat! CU!

#WESkit #GA4GH10thPlenary

#WESkit target user groups need production-level workflow automation with workload running in an #HTC with shared filesystem. Current target locations are at the #BIH and the #DKFZ and there is interest from #UNIBAS and #Sanger. An alternative use-case is in the #cloud, which we mostly promote in the #ELIXIR-EU context.

#WESkit is a workflow execution service and aims at being compliant to the #GA4GH WES standard. The standard tries to define a REST service for executing workflows in a workflow-engine agnostic way.

Currently, WESkit implements this for the #Snakemake and #Nextflow engines. The engines can be run locally in a Celery worker container, or remotely via SSH or SSH-based submission into an #LSF or #SLURM cluster. It is left to the engine where to run the actual #bioinformatic workload.

Hi all. First post on microblog ever! I work at the #DKFZ, the German Cancer Research Center, in Heidelberg. I am working on #WESkit, a #GA4GH-conform #workflow execution service .
