Eurobioc2026 BiocContainer Report
Containers enhance reproducibility and provide an easy and convenient way to share the setups used to run an analysis. As part of the EuroBioc 2026 Hackathon, this working group got together with the aim of offering user-friendly and straightforward ways to create containers given the desired R packages, data and scripts, and importantly, coupled to the used Bioconductor release. This resulted in an R package called SimpleBiocContainer which offers a minimal set of functions to do this.
