Preprint available on bioRXiv.
Summary
WAVES 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 service’s computational needs, WAVES can perform computation on various resources and environments, such as Galaxy instances.Availability and implementation
WAVES 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 version 3.WAVES components
WAVES-core
This is the main WAVES component.- GitHub repository: https://github.com/lirmm/waves-core
- Documentation: http://waves-core.readthedocs.io
- Installation guide: http://waves-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html
- Administration guide: http://waves-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_doc/user_guide.html
- Tutorial to create a 'Hello world' service: http://waves-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_doc/howto/howto.html
- Developer guide: http://waves-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev_doc/dev_doc.html
- Python code examples to interact with WAVES API: http://waves-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev_doc/sample_code.html
WAVES-Galaxy
This is a WAVES adapter dedicated to Galaxy. Using the BioBlend python library, this adapter enables Galaxy services import into WAVES-core. WAVES-Galaxy automatically recognizes the tools available in a Galaxy instance.- GitHub repository: https://github.com/lirmm/waves-galaxy
- Documentation: http://waves-galaxy-adaptors.readthedocs.io
WAVES Singularity image
This is a Singularity container with a functional WAVES installation including two pre-configured services ('Hello world' and 'PhyML'). For testing purpose.- Singularity image: http://www.atgc-montpellier.fr/download/binaries/waves/wavestest.simg
- Documentation: http://waves-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extensions.html#just-have-a-try
