Nextflow is a workflow management system that helps automate and organize multi-step computational pipelines

At a high level, it connects software steps together, manages how data moves between them, and handles execution across local machines, HPC schedulers like SLURM, or cloud platforms

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
