The nf-core metagenomics community will be coming together for for a two day hackathon to implement nf-test in meta-omics related pipelines! If you’re developing Nextflow pipelines related to metagenomics, metaproteomics, metabolimics, metataxonomics, or microbial ecology, this could be an event for you!

The hackathon will involve a brief overview to the way nf-test is implemented at pipeline level in the nf-core template. Then we will spend two days working together to implement nf-test in our pipelines.

We will be:

  • Mostly sitting in silence and coding (without interruptions from ‘normal work’ 😉)
  • Asking each other questions
  • Rubberduck debugging
  • Trading reviews
  • Generally helping each other out with implementation (such as with generating snapshots)

All with the support of nf-test experts from within the nf-core community, including Maxime Garcia and Sateesh Peri!

This event can be for implementing nf-test in any pipeline, as long as it is related to meta-omics in some way. This means official nf-core or non-nf-core, internal or public is valid!

The event is being organised by the meta-omics special interest group, and supported financially by the NFDI4Microbiota consortium.

If you have any further questions, please contact the James Fellows Yates or Daniel Lundin via the meta-omics Slack channel on the nf-core slack.

Registration

Please register in advance using this link.

The workshop will be hosted online (provisionally) via gather.town, with the specific link being sent out via email on registration.

Pre-requisites

Participants should be actively developing Nextflow pipelines, ideally that use the nf-core template, or have experience in developing Nextflow and/or nf-core pipelines.

Your pipeline does not have to be an official nf-core pipeline to participate in this event!
