Abstract: International audience ; The expertise group named WINTER, for Web INTEgRation, is a software development team whose aim is to build websites and apps using Web technologies. Like all members of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Hub, the team provides support to Institut Pasteur’s research units and platforms for publishing and sharing analysis, data, scientific tools, and workflows. Several competences and informatic languages are necessary to create a complete user-friendly web tool. The web development process follows some essential steps: - Design and create the interface model considering user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) aspects, according to user needs. - Develop the front-end, which is the visible part of the website, involving the implementation of the interface code from the previously designed model, - Develop the back-end, the hidden part of website, to carry out actions enabled by the interface, and to store and manage the data in database. - Maintain and deploy the website through continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment as well as versioning. The Winter Team consists of several members who are experts in web development. We provide our expertise to the scientists on campus, covering a broad range of services to design, develop, deploy, maintain web interface and databases creating fully functional dedicated tools for scientific topics. Depending on the project’s needs and size, Winter team members can work alone as full-stack DevOps members or contribute specifically to a stage as domain experts (such as UX/UI Designer, Front-end Developer or Back-end Developer), in close collaboration with the other team members. Thanks to projects covering a wide variety of scientific topics such as Structural Bioinformatics, Transcriptomics, Statistical Genetics, Antibiotic Resistance, Phylogeny, and Oncology, we collaborate with several research units and teams on campus, as well as other groups within the Hub, with the support of the IT department. Over the past years, the team has ...
