Reproducible workflows for reproducible science (with Snakemake) — •Johannes Hampp — Center for international Development and Environmental Research, Justus Liebig University Giessen

Daily scientific tasks with research data from experiments or simulations often imply repetitively applying the same analysis steps. Be it with R, Python or other programming languages, analysis workflows too often followed by hand. Executing analysis steps manually be the obvious approach, but is tedious and prone to human error. In this talk I introduce you to Snakemake, an open source solution for managing your workflows. Snakemake allows for well-defined workflows, with steps executed automatically in the correct and necessary order. It decreases the amount of non-scientific work spent in repetetive workflows and reduces unecessary errors. Since workflows are defined in a simple and human-readable format, using Snakemake helps to document your analysis. It increases reproducibility of research and lastly the FAIRness of research data.

In short: Snakemake makes your life a lot more fun.
