digital tools for organizing a computational biology lab
collected from this twitter thread https://twitter.com/tangming2005/status/1230568527033012225
"We use Basecamp in my lab, with GitHub integration via Zapier" -- Naupaka Zimmerman
"We use basecamp at HBC, it helps to track progress, n communicate with collaborator. For code tracking we use github. Though for my personal use, I hv jupyter notebook for code, Evernote for docs,and full Analysis I build docker for each project. This gives me peace" -- Preeti Aahir
-
github + zenhub project management for github. "We're trying out gitbook for the group documentation and working policies, etc. In addition, we use @ZenHub because of its tight GitHub integration to track projects" -- Moritz E. Beber
-
trello group working, organize projects.
"I use Trello for organisation and push my collaborators to use it. It helps keeping tasks, code, input, output & comments organised. We have common conda envs on the cluster and a place to store scripts. GitHub would be better for scripts but it's a lot to learn for some people."
"But I think that everything could be moved to @trello with a github integration and links to input data on shared folders on the HPC (so that large files are not stored on the Trello boards). Also it's free (compared to http://Monday.com)."
--Gautier Richard
-
Notion All-in-one workspace. "We have a general lab section with boards for expectations, on boarding, and getting started with the HPC. Each trainee then has their own long term goals boards and separate projects board." -- Nicholas Mancuso
-
github wiki for documenting projects.
"Recently commenced attempt at this is to use a github repo with the wiki as the guide (onboard routines), and possibly the repo itself for useful scripts" --Kieran Campbell
- gitbook for other documenting purposes. onboard routine: e.g. HPC setup. pipeline running.
"We're trying out gitbook for the group documentation and working policies, etc. In addition, we use @ZenHub because of its tight GitHub integration to track projects" -- Moritz E. Beber

electronic lab notebooks wetlab usage as well.
