SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires nextflow, java, python, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of creating, running, and troubleshooting Nextflow data pipelines and nf-core workflows, enabling users to efficiently manage complex bioinformatics workflows without the need for extensive scripting knowledge.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow Automation: Automates the execution of Nextflow workflows, reducing manual steps and minimizing errors.
  • nf-core Support: Offers a suite of tools for working with nf-core community pipelines and modules.
  • Reproducibility: Ensures that workflows can be run consistently across different environments by using per-task containers and caching.
  • Use Case: If you need to scale a Nextflow workflow to run on a high-performance computing cluster or a cloud platform, this Skill can help you configure executors and containers for optimal performance.

Quick Start

Use the nextflow skill to run the nf-core/rnaseq pipeline with a specific revision and container profile.

nextflow run nf-core/rnaseq -r 3.14.0 -profile docker --input samplesheet.csv --outdir results
