Docker - can it be contained?

Docker - can it be contained?: Containerization technologies like Docker are designed to solve challenges associated with installing and running complex software such as bioinformatics pipelines and web servers. Docker will change the world ... maybe. While clearly powerful and enabling, the magic of Docker can also be an overpromise. To understand why, you need to understand the “The Law of Leaky Abstractions.”

Microbiome and Metagenomics Benchtop to Bioinformatics: Technical Approaches to Sequencing, DNA Extractions, and Data Analysis

Microbiome and Metagenomics Benchtop to Bioinformatics: Technical Approaches to Sequencing, DNA Extractions, and Data Analysis: Want to incorporate microbiome and metagnomics research into your lab or teaching? Sign up for the ABRF 2018 microbiome and metagnomics workshop. It may not teach you to zip-line through fire, but you will learn how to generate and manage a fire hose worth of data from microbiome projects.
