  abstract: >-
    BACKGROUND: RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a widely used technique in many
    scientific studies. Given the plethora of models and software packages that
    have been developed for processing and analyzing RNA-seq datasets, choosing
    the most appropriate ones is a time-consuming process that requires an
    in-depth understanding of the data, as well as of the principles and
    parameters of each tool. In addition, packages designed for individual tasks
    are developed in different programming languages and have dependencies of
    various degrees of complexity, which renders their installation and
    execution challenging for users with limited computational expertise.
    Workflow languages and execution engines with support for virtualization and
    encapsulation options such as containers and Conda environments facilitate
    these tasks considerably. The resulting computational workflows can then be
    reliably shared with the scientific community, enhancing reusability and the
    reproducibility of results as individual analysis steps are becoming more
    transparent and portable. METHODS: Here we present ZARP, a general purpose
    RNA-seq analysis workflow that builds on state-of-the-art software in the
    field to facilitate the analysis of RNA-seq datasets. ZARP is developed in
    the Snakemake workflow language and can run locally or in a cluster
    environment, generating extensive reports not only of the data but also of
    the options utilized. It is built using modern technologies with the
    ultimate goal to reduce the hands-on time for bioinformaticians and
    non-expert users and serve as a template for future workflow development. To
    this end, we also provide ZARP-cli, a dedicated command-line interface that
    may make running ZARP on an RNA-seq library of interest as easy as executing
    a single two-word command. CONCLUSIONS: ZARP is a powerful RNA-seq analysis
    workflow that is easy to use even for beginners, built using best software
    development practices, available under a permissive Open Source license and
    open to contributions by the scientific community.
