Welcome to BioCompute Objects Wiki,
The MediaWiki for the BioCompute Objects project. This wiki system provides complementary information to the BioCompute portal and is divided into the following main sections: General information for the BioCompute portal, Quick Start and User Guide, FAQ, Curation SOP, and About for the BioCompute portal.


BioCompute Object (BCO) User Guide

This document specifies the structure of BioCompute Objects. The specification is split into multiple parts linked to this top-level document and is maintained in a GitHub repository where contributions are welcome. This document was created by the BioCompute Object Consortium members (BCOC).

It is offered as support for IEEE-2791-2020: IEEE Standard for Bioinformatics Computations and Analyses Generated by High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) to Facilitate Communication.

About

A BioCompute Object (BCO) is an instance of the BioCompute standard and is a computational record of a bioinformatics pipeline. A BCO is not an analysis but is a record of which analyses were executed and in exactly which ways. In this way, a BCO acts as an interface for existing standards. A BCO contains all of the necessary information to repeat an entire pipeline from FASTQ to result and includes additional metadata to identify provenance and usage.
