Lessons from 20 years of Open Source Development
Overview
Computational biology has undergone a significant transformation since the advent of high-throughput sequencing, a pivotal breakthrough that democratized large-scale genomic analyses for researchers. However, even prior to this technological advancement, several of the most widely utilized tools in the field prioritized reliable software development practices, with data reproducibility being a key focus. In light of this, I present my experience in various open-source projects spanning the past two decades, including Bioperl, Nextflow, and H3ABionet, and illustrate the evolution of tool development within this domain over this time frame.
