BCO App: tools for generating BioCompute Objects from next-generation sequencing workflows and computations.

ABSTRACT: The BioCompute Object (BCO) standard is an IEEE standard (IEEE 2791-2020) designed to facilitate the communication of next-generation sequencing data analysis with applications across academia, government agencies, and industry. For example, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) supports the standard for regulatory submissions and includes the standard in their Data Standards Catalog for the submission of HTS data. We created the BCO App to facilitate BCO generation in a range of computational environments and, in part, to participate in the Advanced Track of the precisionFDA BioCompute Object App-a-thon. The application facilitates the generation of BCOs from both workflow metadata provided as plaintext and from workflow contents written in the Common Workflow Language. The application c
