Abstract
Background: The growing diversity of genomic and epigenomic assays has driven a parallel expansion in data formats, analysis workflows, and figure-generation tools. However, tools for analyzing data and assembling publication-quality figures are often specialized to a specific assay, dramatically limiting their interoperability and reproducibility. Results: We present the v1.0 release of ScriptManager, a Java-based framework for modular and reproducible analysis and visualization workflows of genomics and epigenomics data. Unlike existing tools specialized for individual assay types, ScriptManager provides a unified and extensible framework for cross-assay visualization and workflow reproducibility. The v1.0 release adds novel analytical modules, GUI session logging, automated unit and integration testing, tutorials, and expanded documentation. It also integrates with the broader reproducibility ecosystem through Singularity containers, Anaconda packaging, and Galaxy XML wrappers. We demonstrate ScriptManager's TagPileup scaling from local single-core execution to a 10,305-job analysis distributed across the Open Science Grid (OSG), with the full workload completing in <2 hours of wall-clock time. Conclusions: ScriptManager v1.0 enhances workflow portability, transparency, and reproducibility across a diverse range of high-resolution genomic assays. By coupling a flexible module design with modern reproducibility standards, ScriptManager provides a bridge between exploratory data analysis and formal, publication-ready figure generation. These improvements enable researchers to build, share, and reproduce genomic analyses across diverse computational infrastructures with minimal configuration.
