ILIAD: Suite of Genomic Data Workflows
Iliad is a multi-functional toolkit comprised of genomic data processing pipelines implemented via the Snakemake workflow management system, Singularity or Docker container, and a handful of Conda environments. Instances of any Singularity or Docker containers and Conda environments are automatically pulled down and created to build the right execution environment during workflow runtime, making light of the numerous required bioinformatic third-party software tools and dependencies. The multi-functional feature is supported by a modularized Snakemake workflow design and includes independent Snakemake workflows to accommodate many forms of genomic data and translate them to comprehensible genotypes in a variant call format (VCF) file.
