Advanced Training¶
Welcome to our Nextflow workshop for intermediate and advanced users!
In this workshop, we will explore the advanced features of the Nextflow language and runtime, and learn how to use them to write efficient and scalable data-intensive workflows. We will cover topics such as parallel execution, error handling, and workflow customization.
