Description
Nextflow is an open-source workflow orchestration tool for
data-intensive pipelines. It has rapidly become an industry standard,
enabling scalable and reproducible scientific workflows. Nextflow has a
vibrant community with thousands of bioinformaticians as part of the
nf-core project, which provides ready-to-use pipelines, ready-to-plug-in
modules, and sub-workflows. Nextflow simplifies the implementation and
deployment of complex workflows across almost all compute infrastructures -
from HPC job schedulers to all of the main cloud providers. It has built-in
support for software packaging tools such as Docker, Podman, Singularity,
conda, automatically managing workflow toolchains and facilitating scalable
and reproducible scientific workflows.
In this talk I will introduce Nextflow and nf-core, explaining how the
workflow manager works, the community tools available to streamline
development, and how to get started building your own pipelines.
Write your pipeline once, and run it anywhere
