Content

In this practical course, students will learn to model complex biomedical data analysis task using workflows. Using abstract workflow descriptions, they will implement new computational workflows using the workflow language nextflow. Students will also re-use existing workflows and provide scientific solutions to the biomedical data science problem at hand.

Objectives

After completing this practical course students can asbtract problems in biomedical research and models them as workflow. They are able to implement simple workflow with "nextflow" and to use various existing "best-practice" workflows.
