DESCRIPTION:Processing and analysing omics datasets poses many challenges t
 o life scientists\, particularly when we need to share our methods with ot
 her researchers and scale up our research. Public and reproducible bioinfo
 rmatics workflows\, like those developed by nf-core\, are invaluable resou
 rces for the life science community.\n\n[nf-core](https://nf-co.re/) is a 
 community-driven effort to provide high-quality bioinformatics workflows f
 or common analyses including\, RNAseq\, mapping\, variant calling\, and si
 ngle cell transcriptomics. A big advantage of using nf-core workflows is t
 he ability to customise and optimise them for different computational envi
 ronments\, types and sizes of data and research goals. \n\nThis workshop w
 ill set you up with the foundational knowledge required to run and customi
 se nf-core workflows in a reproducible manner. On day 1 you will learn abo
 ut the nf-core tools utility\, and step through the code structure of nf-c
 ore workflows. Then on day 2\, using the[ nf-core/rnaseq](https://nf-co.re
 /rnaseq) workflow as an example\, you will explore the various ways to adj
 ust the workflow parameters\, customise processes\, and configure the work
 flow for your computational environment.\n\n**Lead Trainers**\n\nDr Georgi
 na Samaha\, Senior Bioinformatician\, Sydney Informatics Hub\, University 
 of Sydney\n\nDr Cali Willet\, Senior Bioinformatician\, Sydney Informatics
  Hub\, University of Sydney\n\nDr Chris Hakkaart\, Developer Advocate\, Se
 quera Labs.\n\n**Date/Time**\n\n18 and 19 May 2023\, 1-4pm AEST/12:30-3:30
 pm ACST/11am -2pm AWST \n\n**Format**\n\nThis online workshop will take pl
 ace over two sessions. You must attend both sessions to get the most out o
 f the workshop. Expert trainers will introduce the topics and guide you th
 rough hands-on activities to help you put your new skills into action.\n\n
 **Learning outcomes**\n\nBy the end of the workshop you should be able to:
 \n\n* Recognise how Nextflow and nf-core enable reproducible and portable 
 bioinformatics \n* Write and run a basic nf-core run command\n* Describe n
 f-core code/directory structure (config\, modules\, submodules\, workflow\
 , main.nf)\n* Adjust the run command to customise the workflow\n* Describe
  Nextflow configuration hierarchy \n* Create and use a params file to cust
 omise workflow parameters \n* Create and use a custom config file to adjus
 t resource usage  \n* Apply external arguments not available as a workflow
  parameter to a process\n\n**Who the workshop is for**\n\nThis workshop is
  for researchers and bioinformaticians who are already (or soon will) be u
 sing and customising nf-core workflows. \n\nThe workshop will be conducted
  in a Unix environment. Command line experience is required. Prior experie
 nce running Nextflow and nf-core workflows is recommended.\n\nYou must be 
 associated with an Australian organisation for your application to be cons
 idered.\n\nIf you’re looking for an introduction to the fundamentals of 
 Nextflow and nf-core you can watch our webinar[ Portable\, reproducible an
 d scalable bioinformatics workflows using Nextflow and Pawsey Nimbus Cloud
 ](https://youtu.be/VnLX63yXbJU) or recordings of recent[ nf-core training]
 (https://www.youtube.com/c/nf-core). \n\n**How to apply**\n\n**[Apply here
 ](https://custom-nfcore.eventbrite.com.au/)**\n\nThis workshop is free but
  participation is subject to application with selection. \n\nApplications 
 close at **11:59pm AEST\, Thursday 4 May 2023**.\n\nApplications will be r
 eviewed by the organising committee and all applicants will be informed of
  the status of their application (successful\, waiting list\, unsuccessful
 ). Successful applicants will be provided with a Zoom meeting link closer 
 to the date. More information on the selection process is provided in our[
  Advice on applying for Australian BioCommons workshops.](https://www.bioc

 ics Hub and Sequera with the assistance of a network of facilitators from 
 the national[ Bioinformatics Training Cooperative](https://www.biocommons.
