Abstract

The main objective of this work is the design and implementation of a reduced set of automated pipelines able to integrate a wide range of existing bioinformatics applications and libraries with the goal of delivering an easy-to-use resource, which can be further used to provide different answers to complex biological questions mainly related with nucleotide and amino acid sequences.
