Bring Nextflow apps to the Platform

Overview

Nextflow is one of the most popular standards for describing reproducible scientific workflows that use software containers.

If you already have tools or execution pipelines that are described in Nextflow, this page will provide details on how you can push them to the Seven Bridges Platform and run your analysis at scale, using the full potential and benefits of the Seven Bridges execution environment.

Prerequisites

  • An account on the Seven Bridges Platform.
  • [In case you are installing apps via CLI] Installed sbpack. For more details on what sbpack can do, how to install it and its main use cases, see About sbpack below.
  • Directory containing the app (in case you are installing apps through CLI) or an archive of the app (in case you are installing apps through the GUI) you want to run and its dependencies locally. The application should preferably be organized according to the Nextflow community best practices.
