Scale with Seqeracourse

  • Course summary

    Scale with Seqera is a hands-on introduction to launching and monitoring Nextflow pipelines with Seqera Platform.

    Working through practical examples, you will set up access to Seqera Platform, launch a production-scale pipeline from both the web interface and the command line, and add a new pipeline to your workspace.

    You will take away the skills and confidence to run and monitor your own pipelines on Seqera Platform.

  • Additional information

    Technical requirements

    You will need a GitHub account OR a local installation of Nextflow. Our training courses are compatible with Nextflow version 25.10.2 or later and require the use of the v2 parser. See Environment options for more details.

    Learning objectives
    • Sign up for Seqera Platform and explore the Community Showcase
    • Add a pipeline to a workspace and launch it from the web interface
    • Authenticate and launch pipelines from the command line with the tw CLI
    • Register a GitHub-hosted pipeline and launch it both ways
    Audience & prerequisites
    • Audience: This course is designed for learners who want to run Nextflow pipelines at scale using Seqera Platform.
    • Skills: Familiarity with running nf-core pipelines from the command line is assumed.
    • Courses: Must have completed Nextflow Run and Use nf-core, or otherwise be comfortable running local and nf-core/rnaseq pipelines.

Course overview

This course is hands-on, and builds on the pipelines you already ran in Use nf-core.

You will start by signing up for Seqera Platform and launching nf-core/rnaseq, a production-scale pipeline, from the web interface. Then you'll switch to the tw command-line tool to do the same from a terminal, and finally register a new pipeline, nf-core/demo, and launch it both ways.

Lesson plan

Course chapter Summary Estimated duration
Part 1: Launch pipelines from the web interface Set up Seqera Platform access and launch a production-scale pipeline from the web interface 20 mins
Part 2: Launch pipelines from the command line Authenticate the tw CLI, launch a saved pipeline, and register a new pipeline from the CLI 25 mins

By the end of this course, you will be comfortable launching and monitoring Nextflow pipelines on Seqera Platform, whether you prefer working from the web interface or the command line.
