Ruffus is a Computation Pipeline library for python. It is open-sourced,
powerful and user-friendly, and widely used in science and bioinformatics.<br/><br/>
<h1>Citation:</h1>
<blockquote>
Please cite <I>Ruffus</I> as:<br/>
<div><a class="reference external" href="http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2010/09/16/bioinformatics.btq524">Leo Goodstadt (2010)</a> :
<strong>Ruffus: a lightweight Python library for computational pipelines.</strong> <em>Bioinformatics</em> 26(21): 2778-2779</div></blockquote><br/>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<table class="Introduction" align="center" style="margin-left: 30px">
<tr>
<td width="50%">
<p><I>Ruffus</I> is designed to allow scientific and other analyses to
be automated with the minimum of fuss and the least effort.</p>
These are <I>Ruffus</I>'s strengths:
<ul>
<li><b>Lightweight</b>: Suitable for the simplest of tasks</li>
<li><b>Scalable</b>: Handles even fiendishly complicated pipelines</a>
which would cause <i>make</i> or <i>scons</i> to go cross-eyed and recursive.</li>
<li><b>Standard python</b>: No "clever magic", no pre-processing. </li>
<li><b>Unintrusive</b>: Unambitious, lightweight syntax which tries to do this
one small thing well. </li>
</ul>
<p>Please join me (email: ruffus_lib at llew.org.uk) in setting the direction of
this project if you are interested.
