GoalsΒΆ
Moa aims to assist in achieving the following for a bioinformatics project:
Organized:
Moa facilitates project organization by allowing at only one job per directory, and, by having all configuration, templates, data, and intermediate data available as files in this directory structure.
Documented:
Moa provides the possibility to add a title, description and changelogs to each job.
Reproducible
By having all templates and configuration copied into a workflow - the workflow does never change (unless the user wants it to), even if templates in the repository change. Moreover, all templates are easy to find & inspect so it is always clear what happened.
Reusable & Shareable:
Moa provides reusable templates. New templates are easy to create, adapt and share. Workflows can be archived and reused with different data.
Flexible:
Moa provides a good number of hooks to insert custom code into a workflow, making that code part of the workflow. This ensures maximum flexibility.
