The first goal is achieved by automating the balance of parallel submissions across available high performance computing (HPC) resources. Notably, the latter can be added on demand, including cloud-based resources, and\/or featuring heterogeneous environments. The second goal of making HPCs user-friendly is facilitated by an interactive web interface and a RESTful API, allowing for job monitoring and result retrieval. We used\n                    <jats:italic>clubber<\/jats:italic>\n                    to speed up our pipeline for annotating molecular functionality of metagenomes. Here, we analyzed the Deepwater Horizon oil-spill study data to quantitatively show that the beach sands have not yet entirely recovered. Further, our analysis of the CAMI-challenge data revealed that microbiome taxonomic shifts do not necessarily correlate with functional shifts. These examples (21 metagenomes processed in 172 min) clearly illustrate the importance of\n                    <jats:italic>clubber<\/jats:italic>\n                    in the everyday computational biology environment.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/jib-2017-0020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,13]],"date-time":"2017-06-13T06:01:32Z","timestamp":1497333692000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["<i>clubber<\/i>\n                    : removing the bioinformatics bottleneck in big data analyses"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Maximilian","family":"Miller","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology , Rutgers University , New Brunswick , NJ 08901, USA"},{"name":"Department for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology , Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen , Boltzmannstr. 3, 85748 Garching\/Munich , Germany"},{"name":"TUM Graduate School , Center of Doctoral Studies in Informatics and its Applications (CeDoSIA) , Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen , 85748 Garching\/Munich , Germany , Tel.: +1 848 932 5638, Fax: +1 732 932 8965"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chengsheng","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology , Rutgers University , New Brunswick , NJ 08901, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yana","family":"Bromberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology , Rutgers University , New Brunswick , NJ 08901, USA"},{"name":"Department of Genetics , Rutgers University , Human Genetics Institute , Life Sciences Building , Piscataway , NJ 08854, USA"},{"name":"Institute for Advanced Study at Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen (TUM-IAS) , Garching\/Munich , Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026053123051430953_j_jib-2017-0020_ref_001_w2aab3b7d102b1b6b1ab2b2b1Aa","unstructured":"Gyles C.
