Hi all,
I would like announce the availability of BioVM - a virtual machine for Bioinformatics.
These are the main features
- A minimal installation of Ubuntu Linux (MATE, 16.04 LTS).
- Pre-installed software - Bedtools, Bowtie 2, BWA, ClustalO, Cutadapt, EMBOSS (with the Jemboss and Emboss Explorer graphical user interfaces and the EMBASSY packages), FastQC, FASTX-Toolkit, Mummer, Muscle, NCBI BLAST+, Primer 3, Samtools, Tophat, TreeviewX, Trimmomatic, UGENE.
- A local instance of Galaxy - the open web-based platform for computational biomedical research.
- The Conda package manager with a default environment setup. Conda is used to install packages (with dependencies) written in languages like Python, R, Ruby, Lua, Scala, Java, C/C++ and Fortran.
- Docker installed and ready to use.
- Programming and system tools installed, support for Python, PERL and R.
Getting started
You will need to have VirtualBox installed. BioVM itself does not require installation. You can download the appliance from the website, import and the launch the virtual machine from VirtualBox.
Please visit the website to learn more about the project and to download the appliance.
BioVM is an Open Source project released under the GPL v3 license. It is built using Vagrant, Ansible and VirtualBox. Source code is available on Github.
Would love to hear your feedback!
