    1. the advantages of computational pipelines over ad hoc scripts, even for simple tasks, are all more apparent with increasingly complex datasets and the use of parallel processing.

      why pipelines vs ad hoc scripts - track dependencies (statically inferred, DAGs) - rules reused for many files (parallelization) - data tracking (rapid development in subsets of pipeline ~ changing parameters,ie. avoid duplicate work when resuming workflows.)

    1. the installation, integration, and tuning of multiple software packages, which is not trivial even for groups with extensive bioinformatics expertise.
