This project focuses on generating additional data, materials and automated tools to support bioinformatics education, and the use of Nextflow in academic curricula.

Goals

  • Creating a pipeline to simulate educational datasets

    • This is for contributors with experience in nf-core module structure and dependencies, and ideally with experience in teaching bioinformatics at different levels. The purpose of the pipeline is to generate what we call “storyline-based data”, i.e. datasets which can follow a storyline and with a specific biological meaning to be identified when used for bioinformatics education.
  • Translation of tutorials

    • For users who would like to contribute by translating existing tutorials in a language different than English.
  • Domain specific tutorials

    • For users with experience using nf-core pipelines to analyse specific datasets, and who would like to contribute by identifying the appropriate simulated datasets, and creating a tutorial to guide new users in specific applications of a pipeline.

We welcome contributors of all experience levels, particularly in creating documentation and reviewing existing one.
