Description

Reproducibility is a fundamental hallmark of good science, and reproducible data analysis plays a critical rule in achieving reproducibility in omics research due to its overwhelming complexity. To make omics data analysis results independently reproducibly by a third party, it is essential to keep track of the details of each step of the omics data analysis process. Therefore, we developed the Choppy platform for storing, organizing, processing, analyzing, and sharing of such omics big data, along with the computer codes, the computing environment in which the codes were applied onto the data, and the related documentations so that omics data analysis can readily be made reproducible, traceable, and scalable.
