Data Integrity and Pipeline Integration Working Group

DIPI is a working group within COG-UK. It aims to:

• Build a network of bioinformaticians who are developing software and pipelines that are core to the activities of the consortium.
• Connect this network to key users who submit data or conduct analysis.
• Provide a place to raise issues encountered during the running of software and pipelines and discuss potential implications and solutions.
• Agree, set and communicate standards for transferring data and messages between pipelines.
• Promote best practice for developing tools for use within the consortium, and releasing them as open source software to be used outside the remit of COG-UK.
• Discuss and plan for long-term running and maintenance of software and pipelines.
• Be responsible for communicating user-facing errors or changes that impact the consortium.
