Empowering bioinformatics communities with Nextflow and nf-core
Résumé
Standardized analysis pipelines contribute to making data bioinformatics research compliant with the paradigm of Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability (FAIR), and facilitate collaboration. Nextflow and Snakemake, two popular command-line solutions, are increasingly adopted by users, complementing GUI-based platforms such as Galaxy. We report recent developments of the nf-core framework with the new Nextflow Domain-Specific Language (DSL2). An extensive library of modules and subworkflows enables research communities to adopt common standards progressively, as resources and needs allow. We present an overview of some of the research communities built around nf-core and showcase its adoption by six EuroFAANG farmed animal research consortia.
