This 3-day workshop covers the usage of workflow management systems for the analysis of next-generation sequence data (NGS) in the de.NBI cloud. It introduces the three workflow management systems CWL, Nextflow, and Snakemake and their ability to create shareable, reproducible, and scalable workflows. During this workshop, the participants will implement and execute workflows, and finally scale them out from single machines to the de.NBI cloud.
On all three days, the program includes extensive hands-on training to allow participants to become familiar with the presented software.
The agenda is available here.
