I like this phrase, "Forensic bioinformatics", that Keith Baggerly and Kevin Coombes have defined:
"Data processing, however, is often not described well enough to allow for exact reproduction of the results, leading to exercises in “forensic bioinformatics” where aspects of raw data and reported results are used to infer what methods must have been employed."
in this paper here.
