<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#333333;letter-spacing:.25pt">Reproducible analysis in bioinformatics goes beyond good documentation and sharing code. Often, analyses depend on an entire environment with many different
programs, libraries and settings. For the sake of reproducibility, but also for productivity, you might want to store, reuse, and share your environments using container software such as Docker and Singularity. Containerization is a lightweight and scalable
way of working with such isolated environments. For example, with Docker you can develop, store and manage environments based on Linux operating systems which can run in mostly any computer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#333333;letter-spacing:.25pt">Often, bioinformatic calculations also require large memory and CPU resources, therefore you might want to use a shared computer environment (e.g. a HPC cluster).
However, to run Docker you need to have privileged rights (i.e. as root), which is not the case for Singularity, a program that enables you to run environments from a wide range of resources (including Docker) in a safe manner without the need for privileged
access. Combining Singularity and Docker thus makes you extremely flexible in how, when and where you use your computer environments and those of others.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#333333;letter-spacing:.25pt">

to go through the basics of using, developing and sharing containers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
