High-throughput data analyses usually involve many data processing steps, including the use of a range of command line tools and scripts to transform, filter, aggregate and visualise data. Each tool may require a specific set of inputs and options to be defined and, as we chain multiple tools together, this can become challenging to manage.
The Nextflow workflow management system is a tool to create reproducible and scalable data analyses workflows. Workflows can be seamlessly scaled to server, cluster, and cloud environments, without the need to modify the workflow definition. These workflows can also include a description of the required software, which will be automatically deployed to any execution environment.
This course will cover the principles for building workflows using Nextflow, as well as advanced strategies to fully customise, automate and scale your analysis. It will also cover how to take advantage of modules and workflow design principles from the nf-core initiative, allowing you to build robust and high-quality pipelines following current best practices.
