Francis Crick Institute & Lifebit present: London Bioinformatics Frontiers Conference

The Francis Crick Institute & Lifebit present the London Bioinformatics Frontiers Conference 

Standardising & scaling your analysis using Nextflow, Containers & Cloud.

An exciting two-day event exploring how to apply Nextflow, containers & cloud in your bioinformatics analyses in order to standardise & scale them.

We bring together academic & industry experts in the genomics space to:

1. Provide an in-depth look into how Nextflow is currently fast-tracking research
2. Showcase how to standardise Nextflow-based pipelines using nf-core and containers
3. Highlight how to scale your pipelines with Nextflow over cloud.
4. Work towards standardising & scaling Nextflow pipelines over cloud during our Hackathon (Day 2, pre-registration required). Hackathon participants can either bring in their own pipelines they want to convert to Nextflow, or work with existing Nextflow-based pipelines they want to standardise using nf-core standards & guidelines, and scale over cloud.

Agenda

Day 1: Talks from the experts (open to the public, registration required)

• Introduction to Nextflow & how to get started
• Standardising Nextflow pipelines using nf-core & containers
• From HPC to Cloud: Scaling your pipelines with Nextflow
• Research & Nextflow: best practices & examples from the frontlines

Day 2: Hackathon (by application only)

• Theme: Standardising your Nextflow pipelines with nf-core & scaling them over Cloud
• Open to participants who have pipelines they would like to convert to Nextflow, or participants that have existing Nextflow pipelines that they want to standardise using nf-core principles and/or scale over cloud.
• Note: To participate in the hackathon, please apply here!
