@fiamh … too late for #GA4GH Connect where at least somebody may have recognized it (but probably fewer the associated “first time I heard of Theranos I thought ‘only idiots and/or ppl. w/o any medical lab knowledge; or investors looking into a covering-the-market scheme will fall for it’” gloating).

I forgot about that - sometimes a leaky memory is a blessing… Now let’s talk about date/time representation to get me worked up a bit (I once wrote a page for #ga4gh … https://schemablocks.org/standards-recommendations/#dates-times to settle this for #genomics but obviously #xkcd had been there before…).

#snakemake 7.25.0 has been released. Our awesome community has added an authentication layer for #GA4GH TES and massively improved #slrum job status checking. https://snakemake.github.io

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!

#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 .
