The use of these systems for routine analysis requires scalable and robust software for data management of large datasets. Software is also needed to simplify data management and make large-scale bioinformatics analysis accessible and reproducible to a wide class of target users.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We have developed a workflow management system named Ergatis that enables users to build, execute and monitor pipelines for computational analysis of genomics data. Ergatis contains preconfigured components and template pipelines for a number of common bioinformatics tasks such as prokaryotic genome annotation and genome comparisons. Outputs from many of these components can be loaded into a Chado relational database. Ergatis was designed to be accessible to a broad class of users and provides a user friendly, web-based interface. Ergatis supports high-throughput batch processing on distributed compute clusters and has been used for data management in a number of genome annotation and comparative genomics projects.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability: Ergatis is an open-source project and is freely available at http:\/\/ergatis.sourceforge.net<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0jorvis@users.sourceforge.net<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btq167","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,4,23]],"date-time":"2010-04-23T02:00:04Z","timestamp":1271988004000},"page":"1488-1492","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":80,"title":["Ergatis: a web interface and scalable software system for bioinformatics workflows"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Joshua","family":"Orvis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Institute for Genome Sciences, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, 2 J.
