Next #NationalOpenSourceInnovationSummit keynote is on @bioconductor by @AedinCulhane
#Bioconductor is a large ecosystem that supports the analysis of biological data. It's based in #R but it interacts with many others like @julialanguage
Strong governance, robust versioning, daily checks and diverse community. All this keeps the code reproducible, reusable and efficient.
They've got a global community, rigor and scalability of distributed compute.

Does anyone know if the code for generating all of the underlying bits for #recount3 (genome indices, exons, genes, etc) for a different genome organism (i.e. zebrafish) is available publicly?

I know of the monorail-external repo that helps someone running their own human or mouse samples in the same workflow, but I've got data from zebrafish that I'd love to run similarly.

Maybe @benlangmead (or another) knows of something I missed?

In this lab, we try to cite our software tools. Hopefully they won't get removed by the primary author. But at least they are there to start.

Each comment here is a citation (I don't have Endnote, and I'm not sure how they are managing the citations, so it seemed easier to add them all as comments). There are more on the next page, but I figured this page was illustrative of what we should strive for as #academics citing our tools.
