Nextflow enables scalable, reproducible, and portable scientific workflows for research and production use cases. It supports Docker containers supported by RIS and is available on compute1-client nodes.
Nextflow provides a scripting language that allows users to describe the flow of data and tasks in their analysis pipelines to simplify the implementation and deployment of complex parallel and reactive workflows on the computing cluster.

Key Features
- Fast prototyping: Enables researchers to reconstruct and visualize 3D structures of biological samples such as membrane proteins, viruses, and molecular complexes.
- Reproducibility: You can write self-contained pipelines, manage versions, and rapidly reproduce any former configuration.
- Portability: Provides an abstraction layer between your pipeline’s logic and the execution layer so that it can be executed on multiple platforms without changing.
- Unified parallelism: Simplifies writing complex distributed pipelines.
- Continuous checkpoints allow you to resume execution from the last successfully executed step, no matter why it stopped.
- Stream-oriented: Allows you to handle complex stream interactions easily.
