Intro to snakemake

This repository contains a couple of examples which are useful for learning about snakemake

Examples:

• Toy example
• Bioinformatics example - RNASeq

Expand - Why use snakemake?

We hope these examples will provide enough starting material to get started using snakemake, and to demonstrate the following features which make it incredibly useful for creating reproducible workflows:

• make-like framework in python
• Built-in environment management compatibility (conda, singularity)
• Flexible dispatch of pipeline steps allows portability across compute environments (laptop, cluster, cloud)
