Workflow Designer. UGENE Workflow Designer is a central part of UGENE genome analysis suite   that allows a molecular biologist to create and run complex computational workflows even if he or she is not familiar with any programming language. The workflows comprise

A workflow comprises reproducible, reusable and self-documented research routinesroutine, with a simple and unambiguous visual representation suitable for publications.  The workflows A workflow can be run both locally and remotely, either using graphical interface or launched from the command line.  The elements that a workflow consists of corresponds to the bulk of  Elements in workflow correspond algorithms integrated into UGENE. Additionally you can create custom workflow elements using integrated scripting language, or by connecting arbitrary external command line utility. 

 To launch the Workflow Designer select the Tools ‣ Workflow Designer item in the UGENE main menu. The following window appears:

Create the workflow, choose parameters and click the Run button. If you want to search pattern in many sequences you can add these sequences into Read Sequence element. The output file is your sequence with the pattern as annotation.After the end of the running process a report appears. The report include all information about workflow.

Note that workflows in UGENE are easy to read and share, can be reused multiple times and compiled into a separate standalone command line tools!
