Nextflow Pipelines

  • Key concepts:
    • Processes, workflows, and parameters
  • In general, we are going to:
    • Create processes to execute desired commands
    • Specify parameters to represent workflow settings
    • Define a workflow to execute processes in a specific order
  • Key files:
    • main.nf and nextflow.config

Parameters are user-adjustable values that control how a workflow runs. They can specify input files, output locations, software options, reference files, or general pipeline behavior.
