Roddy

Roddy is a workflow management system for large-scale next-generation sequencing data processing. It is designed to manage complex NGS pipelines at petabyte scale and has been used in large collaborative genomics projects such as the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) project. Roddy supports reproducible execution of workflows with IBM LSF, SLURM, and few other batch processing systems.

Key benefits

  • Framework for managing large-scale NGS processing pipelines
  • Designed for petabyte-scale sequencing data workflows
  • Submit analyses to IBM LSF, SLURM, Sun Grid Engine, or Torque PBS
  • Supports reproducible workflow execution with Apptainer
  • Powerful configuration system for genomics projects and consortia
  • Proven use in the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes project

Applications

  • Management of large-scale NGS analysis workflows
  • Processing of whole-genome sequencing datasets
  • Coordination of pipeline execution in cancer genomics projects
  • Reproducible analysis of high-throughput sequencing data
  • Infrastructure support for large collaborative genomics studies
  • Stand-alone and or executed by the One-Touch-Pipeline (OTP) workflow automation platform

Intended use

Roddy is intended for bioinformaticians, genomics researchers, workflow developers, and infrastructure teams working with large-scale NGS data. It is particularly suited for projects that require robust workflow management, reproducible pipeline execution, and scalable processing of very large sequencing datasets.
