What are pipelines, and how do I make one?
VIBE pipelines are workflows that guide data through multiple analyses, filters and visualizations. Pipelines are created by dragging modules from the Module Toolbar and dropping them on the Workspace. When the application is in auto-connect mode, VIBE will attempt to connect the module currently being dragged to the module on the workspace that has focus (signified by a yellow border) by comparing their input and output types, respectively. If the types match, the data can be transferred between them and VIBE will automatically make a connection. All pipelines start with an Input (or Query) module, such as a sequence from a database or a chromatogram file. Pipelines generally end with a visualization module for viewing the outcome of the workflow; many visualization modules can also be used as intermediate steps and will allow the user to manually select data items to suppress from further analysis. Analyses, transformations, and utilities are used to make the path from start to finis
