DolphinNext, an intuitive web interface designed for users with limited bioinformatics experience to analyze and manage large numbers of samples on High Performance Computing (HPC) environments, cloud services or on a personal workstation.
Build: Easily create new pipelines using a drag and drop interface. No need to write commands from scratch, instead reuse existing processes/modules to create new pipelines
Run: Execute pipelines in any host environment. Seamless Amazon Cloud and Google Cloud integration to create a cluster (instance), execute the pipeline and transfer the results to the storage services (S3 or GS).
Resume: A continuous checkpoint mechanism keeps track of each step of the running pipeline. Partially completed pipelines can be resumed at any stage even after parameter changes.
Improve: Revisioning system keeps track of pipelines and processes versions as well as their parameters. Edit, improve shared pipelines and customize them according to your needs.
Share: Share pipelines across different platforms. Isolate pipeline-specific dependencies in a container and easily replicate the methods in other clusters
