Name the pipeline

How should we name our pipeline? Options so far

• a2z-RNA
• alpha-omega
• RNAflow
• RNAmap - RNA-seq mapping & analysis pipeline
• RNAaqa - RNA-seq annotation, quantification and analysis pipeline
• RNAseqZ
• TAQSA: Tool for Automatic Quantification of RNA abundance in RNA-Seq SAmples
• Rea - Greek Titaness; also RNA Expression Analysis
• Cornucopia
• Praline
• ZARNAP
• quRNA - as in quantRNA, plus it's course to Polish for "damn" (more or less)

added Discuss label

changed the description

added To Do label

No offense, but a JABBA award winner should perhaps not suggest names for bioinfo tools

changed milestone to %v0.1.0 release

You learn from your mistakes

changed title from Name of the pipeline to Name the pipeline

changed the description

I am not good with names, but what about:

• RNA-seq mapping & analysis pipeline - RNAmap
• RNA-seq annotation, quantification and analysis pipeline - RNAaqa

rnapipe is unfortunately already used.

Probably, my idea is pretty crazy...

TAQSA: Tool for Automatic Quantification of RNA abundance in RNA-Seq SAmples

changed the description

RNAseqZ

Ρεα or Rea (in English it is Rhea but we can ditch the h) (rna expression analysis) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhea_(mythology)

Cool - thanks a lot!

I like Rhea, daughter of the earth goddess Gaia and the sky god Uranus, Gaia's son. Nice recursion there :))

All more or less reasonable names I can think of myself have already been taken in the context of RNA tools

• RNAz
• RNall
• RNApipe
• Piper

The thing that we coined with Alex (paying credit): qRNA (q for 'Quantification').
One could read it in polish as 'kurna' which mean "damn!".

QRNA exists, but made quRNA a last minute addition

What is the story behind the last three (Cornucopia, Praline, ZARNAP)?

ZARNAP - Zavolan RNA pipeline?

And RNAseqZ - RNA-seq Zavolan?

For the last two, you are probably correct. But I didn't make those up so can't say for sure.

coRNucopiA and pRAliNe have the letters for RNA in them, if that makes you feel better. And both of them give you delight. Does there need to be more than that? Did our parents think of stories or acronyms when they named us? ;)

changed the description

Yes:

• RNAseqZ - RNA-seq Zavolan

• ZARNAP - ZavolanLab RNA-seq pipeline, we could also use the shorter version:

• ZARP - because that sounds nice: You: "I got some new RNA sequencing data, how can I analyze it?" Me: "Ah easy, just zarp it, it's gonna tell you all you need to know."

and I like the "Z", if this wikipedia extracts make you happy: "The Semitic symbol was the seventh letter, named zayin, which meant "weapon" or "sword"." and "⟨z⟩ is used in writing to represent the act of sleeping (sometimes using multiple z's like zzzz)" and being the last letter it implies some closure, and it reminds me of wizard ;)

Surely you mean it reminds you of Wizzard

exactly!

I'm afraid Rea/REA won't do: https://github.com/carmoskus/rea

Rhea is still a possibility. Just as well because our pipeline does more than RNA-Seq Expression Analysis

Well, is rea (https://github.com/carmoskus/rea) published? Otherwise, I think we can still use it.

Rhea is also good, because it's a fast (like our pipeline) animal (that we can use as logo).

Yes, it is published: https://github.com/carmoskus/rea ;-)

Of course they won't have trademarked the name (probably wouldn't even if it were published in Nature), but it's a matter of courtesy not to use the same name in such a case, especially if it's in the exact same domain. Plus we want people to find our tool if they search for the name, not somebody else's.

Anyway, Rhea is still an option and votes for Rea/REA will be counted for Rhea

Name of the pipeline is: Rhea!

I will close this issue and add two other ones for actually changing the name and creating a logo :)
