DESCRIPTION:The rise of big data has made it essential to be able to analys
 e and perform experiments on large datasets in a portable and reproducible
  manner. Nextflow is a popular bioinformatics workflow orchestrator that m
 akes it easy to run data-intensive computational pipelines. It enables sca
 lable and reproducible scientific workflows using software containers on a
 ny infrastructure. It allows the adaptation of workflows written in most l
 anguages and provides the ability to customise and optimise workflows for 
 different computational environments\, types and sizes of data.\n\nLearn t
 o build reproducible and scalable scientific workflows with Nextflow in th
 is two-part workshop. Part one covers the fundamental principles of Nextfl
 ow pipeline development using the “Hello Nextflow” materials. Part two
  offers practical\, hands-on experience creating a multi-sample Nextflow w
 orkflow for RNAseq data preparation.\n\n## Format\n\n**Lead Trainers:**\nF
 red Jaya\, Senior Bioinformatician (Australian BioCommons)\, Sydney Inform
 atics Hub\, University of Sydney.\nDr Michael Geaghan\, Senior Bioinformat
 ician (Australian BioCommons)\, Sydney Informatics Hub\, University of Syd
 ney.\n\n**Date/Time:** 22 - 23 July 2025\, 1-5pm AEST/ 12:30-4:30pm ACST /

 [distributed training methodology](https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/
 article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.1008715).   \n\nParticipants will join i
 n person satellite sites at host universities and research institutes acro
 ss Australia which will connect via Zoom with lead trainers Fred Jaya and 
 Michael Geaghan.  All sites will be supported by experienced local facilit
 ators\, who will guide you through hands-on activities and help you put yo
 ur new skills into action\n\nSatellite sites will be located in central lo
 cations in:\n\n- Brisbane\n- Sydney\n- Perth\n- Adelaide\n- Melbourne\n- C
 anberra  \n\n## Who the workshop is for:\n\nThis is a workshop for people 
 developing reproducible bioinformatics workflows.\n\n## How to apply:\n\nT
