In open source bioinformatics we strive for reproducible science, which can be difficult in a field with tons of different methods and tools. One approach is to use a workflow language such as Nextflow [0] and Docker/Singularity such that the entire analysis is reproducible, see e.g. [1].

There is a vibrant community around Nextflow workflows called nf-core [2] which has a rare disease workflow in development [3], come join our slack!
