WPAT09

Course description:

The quantity and size of bioinformatics data is continually growing,
providing rich resources to researchers, but also presenting problems
of interoperability and data management. Workflow technologies offer a
solution to this problem as they enable the automated and systematic
use of distributed bioinformatics data and applications from the
scientist's desktop. This provides a fast and efficient methodology for
conducting large-scale experiments without the overhead of installing
