Monolithic pipelines are common in bioinformatics and particularly for metabarcoding. My view is that the word pipeline, and the type of software it refers to, may be holding us back and should be rethought. What is a pipeline? Pipelines are connected sets of programs, where information flows through the linked analysis algorithms as water flows…

Reproducible research in phylogenetics
I’ve been reading a lot recently about reproducible research (RR) in bioinformatics on several blogs, and Google+ and Twitter. The idea is that it is important that someone is easily able to reproduce* your results (and even figures) from your publication using your provided code and data. I’ve been thinking that this is a movement…
