In the field of genomics, bioinformatics pipelines play a crucial role in processing and analyzing vast biological datasets. These pipelines, consisting of interconnected tasks, can be optimized for efficiency and scalability by leveraging cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure. The choice of compute resources…

Since, Bioinformatic research is getting attraction that can be seen with sudden increase in development of tools as well as publications. However, there are challenges in bioinformatics which are making the results difficult to obtain while facing reproducibility, scalability, and accessibility of computational…

We propose Adaptive Container Service (ACS), a new paradigm for deploying bioinformatics workflows in cloud computing environments. By encapsulating the entire workflow within a single virtual container, combined with automatic workflow checkpointing and dynamic migration to appropriately scaled containers, ACS-based…

Reproducibility, automation, and flexibility remain persistent challenges in bioinformatics, where complex workflows require integration of diverse computational tools, rigorous quality control, and dynamic adaptability to evolving datasets. Existing workflow managers often trade off usability for flexibility, limiting…

The exponential growth of omics data requires novel strategies for storage, transfer, and processing of said data. We present a scheduler based on the Temporal.io workflow framework which enables two key optimizations of bioinformatics workflows. Firstly, we enable users to transparently map workflow steps to diverse…

Performance bottlenecks in widely used genomics and bioinformatics software present a substantial and growing burden as biological datasets continue to increase in size and number. Relieving these bottlenecks relies largely on expert manual optimization and therefore remains difficult to scale. Here we present…

Process optimization for Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell culture remains a challenge in biopharmaceutical development because multiple interacting parameters jointly influence productivity and product quality attributes. Traditional design-of-experiments (DoE) methods, while systematic, become impractically expensive…

Biofabrication processes are complex and often unsatisfactory. Trial-and-error methods are costly and yield only incremental innovation, starting from sub-optimal and poorly represented existing processes. Although computational techniques might support efficient process design to find optimal process configurations…

Snakemake is one of the most popular workflow management systems, particularly in biological sciences. Snakemake workflows are highly portable, scalable, and transparent. Moreover, they enable the painless reproduction of published results and adaption to similar data processing and analysis projects. Here we present…

Bioinformatics analyses depend on workflow engines to coordinate dozens of computational tools across complex dependency chains. The most widely adopted engines—Snakemake, Nextflow, the Common Workflow Language (CWL), and the Workflow Description Language (WDL)—run on interpreted or just-in-time (JIT) compiled language…

Biotechnological production of recombinant molecules relies heavily on fed-batch processes. However, as the cells’ growth, substrate uptake, and production kinetics are often unclear, the fed-batches are frequently operated under sub-optimal conditions. Process design is based on simple feed profiles (e.g., constant or…

Many biomedical research projects produce large-scale datasets that may serve as resources for the research community for hypothesis generation, facilitating diverse use cases. Towards the goal of developing infrastructure to support the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability (FAIR) of biomedical…

Fed-batch processes are prevalent in biotechnological industries, but design of experiments often results in sub-optimal conditions due to incomplete solution space characterization. We employ a single-level dynamic control (DC) algorithm for dynamic flux balance analysis (dFBA), enhancing efficiency by reducing…

We present the Toroidal Search Algorithm (TSA), a novel population-based metaheuristic optimization method inspired by the topology of a torus. Conventional metaheuristics frequently suffer from boundary stagnation, a phenomenon that severely degrades performance in bounded and high-dimensional search spaces. TSA…
