Public and reproducible bioinfor matics workflows\, like those developed by nf-core\, are therefore invalua ble resources for the life science community.\n\n[nf-core](https://nf-co.r e/) is a community-driven effort to provide high-quality bioinformatics wo rkflows for common analyses including\, RNAseq\, mapping\, variant calling \, and single cell transcriptomics. A big advantage of using nf-core workf lows is the ability to customise and optimise them for different computati onal environments\, types and sizes of data\, and research goals. \n\nThis workshop will set you up with the foundational knowledge required to run and customise nf-core workflows in a reproducible manner. Over two days yo u will learn about the nf-core tools utility\, step through the code struc ture of nf-core workflows\, and explore the various ways to adjust workflo w parameters\, customise processes\, and configure workflows for your comp utational environment\, using the [nf-core/rnaseq](https://nf-co.re/rnaseq /3.23.0/) workflow as a hands-on example.\n\n**Lead Trainers:** \n\n* Dr C ali Willet\, Senior Bioinformatician\, Sydney Informatics Hub\, University of Sydney\n* Dr Michael Geaghan\, Senior Bioinformatician\, Sydney Inform atics Hub\, University of Sydney\n\n**Date/Time**: 27-28 May 2026\, 12 - 4 pm AEST /11:30 - 3:30 pm ACST / 10 - 2 pm AWST ([Check in your timezone]( https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=WORKSHOP%3A+Unlo cking+nf-core%3A+customising+workflows+for+your+research&\;iso=20260527 T12&\;p1=152&\;ah=4))\n\n**Location:** Online\n\n**Who the workshop is for:**\n\nThis workshop is for life science researchers and bioinformat icians who are already (or soon will) be using and customising nf-core wor kflows. \nYou must be associated with an Australian organisation for your application to be considered.\n\n**How to apply:**\n\nThis workshop is fre e but participation is subject to application with selection. \n\nApplicat ions close at **11:59 pm AEST\, 13 May 2026**.\n\n[**Apply here**](https:/ /www.eventbrite.com.au/e/workshop-unlocking-nf-core-customising-workflows- for-your-research-tickets-1984011655269?aff=oddtdtcreator)\n\nApplications will be reviewed by the organising committee and all applicants will be i nformed of the status of their application (successful\, waiting list\, un successful). Successful applicants will be provided with a Zoom meeting li nk closer to the date.
