A community effort to collect a curated set of analysis pipelines built using Nextflow.

About us

As the field of genomics matures and new methodologies produce increasing quantities of data, new tools are needed to facilitate high-throughput analysis of large genomics datasets. Workflow managers are needed to handle automated workflows, able to dynamically launch and manage the chaining of numerous bioinformatics tools for hundreds of samples. Of these, Nextflow (https://nextflow.io, Tommaso et. al. Nat Biotech, 2017) has gained a large community and has become the industry standard for research groups and facilities. To help to standardise the bioinformatics results of different sequencing facilities and research groups, nf-core was formed to help scientists to collaborate on workflows (https://nf-co.re/, Nature Biotechnology 38, 276–278 (2020)). A community-led worldwide collaboration, the aim is to collect high-quality workflows that adhere to a strict set of standards and guidelines, leading to pipelines that are usable, maintainable and upgradeable.
