4 | | New biotechnologies enable exciting QTL experiments that link genetic variation to 'all' gene expression, protein and metabolite traits. |
5 | | Powerful software and hardware are available to analyze these new data but the considerable effort needed to configure pipelines, to scale |
6 | | up processing and to track raw, intermediate and result data are a barrier for most except a small community of experts. Here we report |
