Accelerated growth in the field of bioinformatics has resulted in large data sets being produced and analyzed. With this rapid growth has come the need to analyze these data in a quick, easy, scalable, and reliable manner on a variety of computing infrastructures including desktops, clusters, grids and clouds. This paper presents the application of workflow technologies, and, specifically, Pegasus WMS, a robust scientific workflow management system, to a variety of bioinformatics projects from RNA sequencing, proteomics, and data quality control in population studies using GWAS data.
