nf-core/sarek

Edit

Introduction

Sarek is a workflow designed to run analyses on whole genome or targeted sequencing data from regular samples or tumour / normal pairs and could include additional relapses.

It’s built using Nextflow, a domain specific language for workflow building, across multiple compute infrastructures in a very portable manner. Software dependencies are handled using Conda, Docker or Singularity - environment/container technologies that provide excellent reproducibility and ease of use. Thus making installation trivial and results highly reproducible.

It’s listed on the Elixir - Tools and Data Services Registry, Dockstore and omicX - Bioinformatics tools.
