Workflows enhance NC bioportal and assist biology researchers
The end results of research in genetics, proteomics and other fields that use bioinformatics are often dramatic: discoveries that reveal the causes of cancer or that lead to new drugs and treatments. But the research process can be redundant, time consuming and tedious. Enter workflows, technology that automates many redundant processes used in analyzing biological […]
