ABSTRACT
With the rapid development of biotechnology such as NGS and proteomics , bioinformatics has seen an explo-sion in diversity and complexity in terms of data , tools and demands .The traditional computing environment , including ded-icated workstations and virtual machines , are no longer suitable under such circumstances .As a rising container technolo-gy, Docker, which is characterized by light weight , openness and security ,has provided an innovative solution to analysis and processing of biological big data and attracted increasing attention from bioinformatics developers and users .Consider-ing the demands and features of development , deployment and application of bioinformatics tools in the age of big data , this paper analyzes the advantages of Docker in this field , introduces some actual cases and discusses current deficiencies and future improvement .
