Workflows using Nextflow

Nextflow is a scientific workflow framework that vastly simplifies repetitive tasks within a scientific workflow by creating a simple framework for writing and completing computational pipelines.  Nextflow has been widely adopted by bioinformatics researchers, but can also help other HPC users who run pipeline-based computational tasks in a repetitive nature.

In this presentation, we will introduce the basic concepts of a Nextflow workflow, practice building and running Nextflow workflows, and describe Nextflow's new nf-core, a community-driven pipeline repository.

Materials and slides for the talk are available below. We will have a short presentation and follow this with hands-on training with the "Hello Nextflow" training.

This is class will be presented over Zoom.
