**The BioStatFlow software components consist of**:

1. The BioStatFlow core, which is responsible for:
  * managing the input-output through the GUI (datasets, workflows, parameters of each analysis, and results),
  * creating batch scripts, from the workflow definition files,
  * launching the analysis scripts,
  * managing the persistent sessions (including access management).
2. The [[catalog|workflow and statistical analysis catalogs]]. These catalogs may be enriched at any time by adding either some statistical analyses or even a new workflow.

3. The [[repository|repository of persistent sessions]]. To save your work in a persistent session, you have to register before.
