WAVES: a Web Application for Versatile Enhanced bioinformatic Services

Abstract

SummaryWAVES is a web application dedicated to bioinformatic tool integration. It provides an efficient way to implement a service for any bioinformatic software. Such services are automatically made available in three ways: web pages, web forms to include in remote websites, and a RESTful web services API to access remotely from applications. In order to fulfill the services computational needs, WAVES can perform computation on various resources and environments, such as Galaxy instances.\n\nAvailability and implementationWAVES was developed with Django, a Python-based web framework. It was designed as a reusable web application. It is fully portable, as only a Python installation is required to run Django. It is licensed under GNU General Public License. Source code and documentation are available from https://github.com/lirmm/waves-core.\n\nContactlefort@lirmm.fr
