DESCRIPTION:Modern bioinformatics pipelines can be incredibly complex\, but
  all tend to follow a common pattern: they start with raw data\, then pass
  the data through various programs until arriving at a final result. If th
 is is done in an ad-hoc\, unorganized fashion\, the results may never be r
 eproducible or even worse\, unreliable and/or wrong. Pipeline management s
 oftware is therefore essential to obtain results that are robust and repro
 ducible. The targets R package is a recently developed workflow manager th
 at comes with many excellent features for bioinformatics\, including data 
 caching\, pipeline-level parallelization\, and HPC support. \n\n**In this 
 hands-on workshop\, I will demonstrate how targets can be used in concert 
 with other tools like docker and conda to orchestrate modular\, reproducib
 le bioinformatics pipelines. The workshop will feature variant-calling as 
 an example\, but the concepts and tools can be applied to nearly any analy
 sis.**\n\n**Pre-requisites:** Basic familiarity with R. Installations of r
 ecent versions of R\, conda\, and docker.\n\n**Duration:** 2 hours\n\n
