Sequanix: a dynamic graphical interface for Snakemake workflows

Bioinformatics. 2018 Jun 1;34(11):1934-1936. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bty034.

Abstract

Summary: We designed a PyQt graphical user interface-Sequanix-aimed at democratizing the use of Snakemake pipelines in the NGS space and beyond. By default, Sequanix includes Sequana NGS pipelines (Snakemake format) (http://sequana.readthedocs.io), and is also capable of loading any external Snakemake pipeline. New users can easily, visually, edit configuration files of expert-validated pipelines and can interactively execute these production-ready workflows. Sequanix will be useful to both Snakemake developers in exposing their pipelines and to a wide audience of users.
