About

Owl started with the need of submitting data pipelines to a Kubernetes cluster by research users, without the need to understand how Kubernetes works or indeed any programming.

We built a set of parameterized pipelines that perform common tasks of data processing and analysis and just by editing a defintion file containing parameters for each each pipelines our users can run their jobs in a large cluster.

A description of how Owl (and many other utilities) is used in our project is available from the IMAXT Documentation →

An article describing the infrastructure and pipelines that we run on it can be found in The Imaging and Molecular Annotation of Xenografts and Tumours (IMAXT) High Throughput Data and Analysis Infrastructure →
