He is the author of leading population genetics simulator simuPOP as well as software tools for the integrated annotation, manipulation, and analysis of genetic variants from whole exome and whole genome sequencing studies (Variant Tools), with Script of Scripts being his most recent project.

Sessions

5:00pm–5:40pm Thursday, August 23, 2018
SoS: A polyglot notebook and workflow system for both interactive multilanguage data analysis and batch data processing
Extensions and customization, Kernels, Reproducible research and open science
 Location: Murray Hill Level: Beginner
Bo Peng (The University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center)
Bo Peng offers an overview of Script of Scripts (SoS), a Python 3-based workflow engine with a Jupyter frontend that allows the use of multiple kernels in one notebook. This unique combination enables users to analyze data using multiple scripting languages in one notebook and, if needed, convert scripts to workflows in situ to analyze large amounts of data on remote systems.
