Goals

The goal of this hackathon will be developing open source tools to help enhance bioinformatics interoperability. Building flexible, reproducible workflows with connected best-practice tools is essential to modern biological programming. Tools generated by the open source scientific community help drive innovative research and discoveries. The goal of these two days is to investigate how we can increase tool connectivity and help communities work better together.
