This record includes training materials associated with the Australian BioCommons workshop ‘Hello Nextflow’. This workshop took place over two sessions on 24 - 25 September 2024.

Event description

The rise of big data has made it essential to be able to analyse and perform experiments on large datasets in a portable and reproducible manner. Nextflow is a popular bioinformatics workflow orchestrator that makes it easy to run data-intensive computational pipelines. It enables scalable and reproducible scientific workflows using software containers on any infrastructure. It allows the adaptation of workflows written in most languages and provides the ability to customise and optimise workflows for different computational environments, types and sizes of data.

This workshop will put you on the path to writing your own reproducible and scalable scientific workflows using Nextflow. You will learn how to use core Nextflow components to build, run and troubleshoot a scalable multi-step workflow.
