Nextflow for reproducible and automated data analysis
2 days
General context
You will learn how to use Nextflow for building scalable and reproducible bioinformatics pipelines and running them on a personal computer, cluster and cloud. Starting from the basic concepts we will build our own simple pipeline and add new features with every step, all in the new DSL2 language.
- Understand Nextflow's basic concepts: channels, processes, modules, workflows, etc.
- Write and run a Nextflow pipeline
- Write and modify config files for storing parameters related to computing hardware as well as pipeline dependent parameters
Bioinformaticians with no or little knowledge of containers or workflow pipelines.
You're familiar with doing bioinformatics on the command-line and with Docker.
If you have no experience with command line we strongly recommend to follow the Linux initiation training first.
If you have no experience with Docker you can follow the Docker training.
