Reproducible research and data analysis using Nextflow
This slow-paced hands-on course is designed for absolute beginners who want to start using Nextflow to achieve reproducibility of data analysis.
The course will train participants to build Nextflow pipelines and run them with Linux containers.
It is designed to provide trainees with short and frequent hands-on sessions while keeping theoretical sessions to a minimum.
- Execute/Run a Nextflow pipeline.
- Describe and explain Nextflow basic concepts.
- Test and modify a Nextflow pipeline.
- Implement short blocks of code into a Nextflow pipeline.
- Understand, run and build Linux containers
- Use containers in Nextflow processes
- Develop a Nextflow pipeline from scratch.
- Run a pipeline in diverse computational environments (local, HPC, cloud).
- Share a pipeline.
Being comfortable working with the CLI (command-line interface) in a Linux-based environment. Knowledge of containers is not mandatory. The course materials are online on the dedicated GitHub page for self-learning.
Having a GitHub account is recommended.
