Events & Initiatives

Introduction to NextFlow

From 22-25 July 2024 (Online only)

The workshop will deliver a basic training in Nextflow (https://www.nextflow.io), a workflow management system that enables the development of robust, reproducible, and scalable workflows for scientific and data analysis. Additionally, participants will be introduced to the nf-core initiative (https://nf-co.re), a framework for collaborative work toward reproducible and reusable bioinformatics pipelines (Ewels et al. Nat Biotech 2020). Currently, the nf-core framework and tooling include over 50 pipelines for the reproducible analysis of genomics and transcriptomics data, with over 30 more pipelines under development.

Specifically, the workshop will cover the following sections.
