软件容器正在改变科学家和研究人员开发、部署和交换科学软件的方式。它们允许各种规模的实验室轻松安装生物信息学软件、维护同一软件的多个版本并将工具组合到强大的分析管道中。然而，容器和软件包应该在一定的规则和标准下生产，以便可重用、兼容并易于集成到管道和分析工作流程中。在这里，我们提出了 BioContainers 社区制定的一系列建议，用于生产标准化的生物信息学包和容器。这些建议提供了实用指南，使生物信息学软件更易于发现、可重用和透明。它们旨在指导开发人员、组织、期刊和资助者提高研究软件的质量和可持续性。
Software Containers are changing the way scientists and researchers develop, deploy and exchange scientific software. They allow labs of all sizes to easily install bioinformatics software, maintain multiple versions of the same software and combine tools into powerful analysis pipelines. However, containers and software packages should be produced under certain rules and standards in order to be reusable, compatible and easy to integrate into pipelines and analysis workflows. Here, we presented a set of recommendations developed by the BioContainers Community to produce standardized bioinformatics packages and containers. These recommendations provide practical guidelines to make bioinformatics software more discoverable, reusable and transparent. They are aimed to guide developers, organisations, journals and funders to increase the quality and sustainability of research software.
