DESCRIPTION:Bioinformatics workflows can support portable\, reproducible an
 d scalable analysis of omics datasets but using workflows can be challengi
 ng for both beginners and experienced bioinformaticians. Beginners face a 
 steep learning curve to be able to build and deploy their own bioinformati
 cs workflows while those with more experience face challenges productionis
 ing and scaling code for custom workflows and big data. \n\nBioinformatici
 ans across the world are using Nextflow to build and manage workflows. Man
 y of these workflows are shared for others to use and supported by the com
 munity via [nf-co.re](https://nf-co.re/). So far\, [39 workflows for omics
  data](https://nf-co.re/pipelines) are available with another 23 under dev
 elopment. These workflows cover common analyses such as RNAseq\, mapping\,
  variant calling\, single cell transcriptomics and more and can be easily 
 deployed by anyone\, regardless of skill level.\n\nIn this webinar\, Nanda
 n Deshpande from the Sydney Informatics Hub\, University of Sydney\, will 
 discuss how you can deploy freely available Nextflow (nf.co-re) bioinforma
 tics workflows with a single command. We describe how you can quickly get 
 started deploying these workflows using Pawsey Nimbus Cloud. For advanced 
 users\, we show you how you can use Nextflow to build your own workflows t
 hat save you time and support reproducible\, portable and scalable analysi
 s.\n\nIn the latter half of the webinar\, Sarah Beecroft from the Pawsey S
 upercomputing Research Centre will talk about their Nimbus Cloud systems. 
 While Nextflow supports portability and can run on many computing infrastr
 uctures\, we describe why we specifically love using Nimbus with Nextflow 
 for many bioinformatics projects. We will describe some of the nf.co-re wo
 rkflows that we have used on Nimbus and the research outcomes. We will als
 o cover when not to use Nimbus and the alternatives we recommend.\n\n**Spe
 akers:**\n\nDr Nandan Deshpande\, Senior Research Bioinformatician\, Sydne
 y Informatics Hub\, University of Sydney\n\nDr Sarah Beecroft\, Bioinforma
 tics Applications Specialist\, Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre.\n\n*
 *Who the webinar is for:**\n\nThis webinar is for biologists who are new t
 o bioinformatics on the command-line and bioinformaticians and would like 
 to use existing best practice workflows available through nf.co-re.   \n\n
 **How to join:**\n\nThis webinar is free to join but you must register for
  a place in advance.\n\n**[Register here](https://unimelb.zoom.us/webinar/
