The Snakemake workflow management system is a tool to create transparent, reproducible and adaptable data analyses. Workflows are described via a human readable, Python based language. They can be seamlessly scaled to server, cluster, grid and cloud environments, without the need to modify the workflow definition. Finally, Snakemake workflows can entail a description of required software,...
Nextflow is an open-source workflow orchestration tool for
data-intensive pipelines. It has rapidly become an industry standard,
enabling scalable and reproducible scientific workflows. Nextflow has a
vibrant community with thousands of bioinformaticians as part of the
nf-core project, which provides ready-to-use pipelines, ready-to-plug-in
modules, and sub-workflows. Nextflow simplifies...
P11 at PETRA III (DESY, Hamburg) is a high-throughput instrument for macromolecular crystallography (1). P11 has tuneable photon energy between 5.5 - 28 keV having the Eiger2 X 16M as the stationary detector. The automatic sample changer at P11 has a total capacity of 23 sample pucks (total of 368 samples) having a mount-unmount cycle of approximately 36 s, which brings the beamtime spent per...
The FAXTOR beamline at the third generation ALBA synchrotron will be dedicated to fast micro-tomography in the hard X-ray regime range. It will start its operation at the beginning of 2024, serving different user communities, including material science, biomedical, palaeontology, earth science, cultural heritage etc. At the start of operations, the spatial resolution (in terms of image pixel...
Experiments at HED, XFEL can run up to 10Hz, providing image data from various diagnostics. In the recent years, scientists are typically using Jupyter labbooks to extract and reduce the data online and then work with the proceesed data more carefully. This reduction process however can be pretty complicated, dependent on many parameters and evolve through years, as an example the unwarping...
