For identical results to be achieved, regularly updated reference sequence databases must be versioned and archived. Database administrators have tried to fill the requirements by supplying users with one-off versions of databases, but these are time consuming to set up and are inconsistent across resources. Disk storage and data backup performance has also discouraged maintaining multiple versions of databases since databases such as NCBI nr can consume 50\u2009Gb or more disk space per version, with growth rates that parallel Moore's law.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: Our end-to-end solution combines our own Kipper software package\u2014a simple key-value large file versioning system\u2014with BioMAJ (software for downloading sequence databases), and Galaxy (a web-based bioinformatics data processing platform). Available versions of databases can be recalled and used by command-line and Galaxy users. The Kipper data store format makes publishing curated FASTA databases convenient since in most cases it can store a range of versions into a file marginally larger than the size of the latest version.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability and implementation: Kipper v1.0.0 and the Galaxy Versioned Data tool are written in Python and released as free and open source software available at https:\/\/github.com\/Public-Health-Bioinformatics\/kipper and https:\/\/github.com\/Public-Health-Bioinformatics\/versioned_data, respectively; detailed setup instructions can be found at https:\/\/github.com\/Public-Health-Bioinformatics\/versioned_data\/blob\/master\/doc\/setup.md<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: Damion.Dooley@Bccdc.Ca or William.Hsiao@Bccdc.Ca<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btv724","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,13]],"date-time":"2015-12-13T01:38:56Z","timestamp":1449970736000},"page":"1275-1277","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Sequence database versioning for command line and Galaxy bioinformatics servers"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Damion M.","family":"Dooley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Pathology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aaron J.","family":"Petkau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 National Microbiology Laboratory, Public Health Agency of Canada, Winnipeg, MB, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gary","family":"Van Domselaar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 National Microbiology Laboratory, Public Health Agency of Canada, Winnipeg, MB, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William W.L.","family":"Hsiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Pathology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada"},{"name":"3 BC Public Health Microbiology and Reference Laboratory, Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020112201973000_btv724-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"421","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2105-10-421","article-title":"BLAST+: architecture and applications","volume":"10","author":"Camacho","year":"2008","journal-title":"BMC Bioinformatics"},{"key":"2023020112201973000_btv724-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1823","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btn325","article-title":"BioMAJ: a flexible framework for databanks synchronization and processing","volume":"24","author":"Filangi","year":"2008","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"2023020112201973000_btv724-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1451","DOI":"10.1101\/gr.4086505","article-title":"Galaxy: a platform for interactive large-scale genome analysis","volume":"15","author":"Giardine","year":"2005","journal-title":"Genome Res"},{"key":"2023020112201973000_btv724-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.1186\/1751-0473-8-7","article-title":"Git can facilitate greater reproducibility and increased transparency in science","volume":"8","author":"Ram","year":"2013","journal-title":"Source Code Biol.
