PoSyMed: Open Modular Platform for Bioinformatics Workflows
PoSyMed serves as a flexible and open platform designed for the integration, composition, and execution of bioinformatics workflows and tools. It tackles challenges in bioinformatics research, including fragmented distribution, inconsistent documentation, complex dependencies, and issues with reproducibility. The platform features a backend-focused architecture, formal descriptions of tools, containerized building and execution, persistent workflow states, and a dialogue-driven user interface. Rather than functioning as independent decision-makers, large language models (LLMs) are incorporated as supportive elements. PoSyMed's goal is to facilitate the reuse and modification of existing tools for seasoned users.
