SeqWare was a free open-source suite of software tools designed to act as a framework for building analysis workflows using the analysis tools you choose to implement. The software was targeted primarily at entities needing to analyze massive genomics datasets, especially those generated from next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms.

Product history

Internal development on SeqWare — as an upgrade over existing software tools — began in roughly late 2007 or early 2008, primarily by Brian O'Connor of the Department of Human Genetics, University of California - Los Angeles.[2][3] Release dates of early versions up to 0.3 aren't clear, but on December 11, 2009, those early versions were publicly released on an associated Google Project site.[1] In early 2010, it was revealed SeqWare's new updates would play an important role in "transitioning the UCLA lab from being a microarray core to a second-generation sequencing core."[2] SeqWare in particular would morph "to address a functionalities gap ... between vendor tools and those from sequencer manufacturers, and to offer a combination of workflow management, sample tracking, data storage, and data-querying possibilities."[2] Work progressed steadily, including a 2012 switch from SourceForge to GitHub.[4]

As of May 2021, no work has been performed on the project for over five years. The project is presumably abandoned.

The following table shows the dates of releases up to 0.12.1. Some dates may be approximate. For the release history from 0.12.5 to the current release, consult the release notes:
