Bein is a workflow manager and miniature LIMS system built in the Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Core Facility of the EPFL. It fills the gap for the working scientist between the classical shell and big workflow managers like Galaxy and major LIMS systems like OpenBIS. More...
Installation
Bein is a Python library. It should run on any Unix system with Python >=2.5, though the utilities library also requires numpy, scipy, matplotlib, and pysam. More...
