IS&T RCS Tutorial - Introduction to Nextflow on the SCC (Hands-on)

This tutorial will introduce Nextflow, a workflow language for creating scalable, portable, and reproducible pipelines. A Nextflow pipeline connects processing steps to transform input data into output results – useful for building a new pipeline, adapting one you inherited, or running a published pipeline such as those on nf-core. Attendees will learn the basics of Nextflow syntax and structure, build and run a simple pipeline, and learn how to run a Nextflow script/pipeline on BU's Shared Computing Cluster (SCC). The focus of this tutorial will be on Nextflow's use in bioinformatics applications, though the concepts covered broadly apply to other fields – all are welcome to attend. This tutorial is recommended for those with prior experience with use of the SCC, or attendance of our 'Introduction to BU's Shared Computing Cluster' tutorial.
