Stop babysitting shell scripts. Build reproducible, containerised genomics pipelines that scale from a laptop to the cluster or cloud — and resume exactly where they stopped.
The live workshop costs nothing — the course fee is ₹0. The certificate and recording are an add-on from ₹599, and the tiers below build on each other if you want the pipeline code, the sample dataset, or a review of a workflow you are building yourself.
No charges to attend the workshop.
Proof of completion, plus the full replay.
Everything you need to run the pipeline again on your own machine.
For anyone building this into a real lab or team workflow.
Each tier includes everything in the one before it. Add-ons are entirely optional — you can attend the full class without paying anything. See what we cover ↓
Built for life-science researchers whose analysis still lives in a folder of shell scripts — we start at what a workflow manager actually does and finish with an end-to-end variant-calling pipeline you can hand to someone else.
Why manual scripts break as datasets grow, what a workflow manager gives you in return, and getting Nextflow installed and running its first pipeline on your own machine.
The three building blocks — processes that wrap your tools, channels that stream data between them, and the DSL2 workflow block that wires the whole thing together.
Build a real variant-calling workflow end to end — quality control, trimming, alignment to a reference, duplicate marking and variant calls — from raw sequencing reads.
Config profiles and containers, publishDir for results, the work directory and -resume, execution reports — and the habits that keep a pipeline reproducible on someone else’s machine.
If your pipeline only works on your machine, or a re-run means starting again from the first FASTQ, this workshop is aimed at you. All levels welcome.
You already run the tools — now you want them wired into one workflow that scales past a single sample without manual babysitting.
You generate the sequencing data and want to analyse it yourself, with a pipeline a collaborator or reviewer can actually reproduce.
You know how to code but not the genomics conventions — this maps your skills onto NGS file formats, tools and reproducibility expectations.
You want workflow automation and containers on your CV — and a thesis analysis you can rerun in a single command a year from now.
Issued by DrOmics once you complete the workshop. Included from the ₹599 tier onwards — attending the live session itself stays free.
DrOmics is a molecular diagnostics and bioinformatics lab first. The training exists because we kept meeting researchers stuck on data they couldn’t analyze — and pipelines nobody else could rerun.
DrOmics was founded by a translational bioinformatician who earned her PhD at the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) and worked as a senior bioinformatics scientist before starting the lab. She built DrOmics around a gap she saw repeatedly: capable life-science researchers sitting on sequencing data with no practical way to analyze it.
That’s the gap this workshop is designed to close. The session itself is run by the DrOmics bioinformatics training team.
“Our variant-calling steps were six bash scripts run by hand. Rewriting them as Nextflow processes took an afternoon, and now 40 samples run in one command.”
“The container module fixed our reproducibility problem. A collaborator ran our pipeline and got identical output — first time that has ever happened.”
“I came for the syntax and left with the workflow habits. A failed run at step nine no longer means starting over — -resume picks it straight back up.”
No. The workshop is pitched at all levels. Familiarity with a terminal helps, and beginner-level Python or R is useful — but every command is shown on screen and shared afterwards, so you can follow along from scratch.
Nextflow (which needs Java 11 or newer) and Docker, on Linux, macOS, or Windows via WSL2. We send a short setup guide before the session so nothing eats into the live time.
Yes. Packaging bioinformatics tools into Docker and Singularity containers is a core part of the workshop — it is what makes a pipeline reproduce identically on someone else’s machine.
An end-to-end DNA-Seq variant-calling workflow: quality control, trimming, alignment, duplicate marking and variant calls. RNA-Seq differential expression, cloud execution and AI-assisted interpretation are covered alongside it.
That is the point of Nextflow — the same script runs locally, on an HPC scheduler such as SLURM, or on AWS and Google Cloud by switching an execution profile. We show how the config, not the code, changes.
Yes — the course fee is ₹0 and attending the live workshop costs nothing. The certificate and recording are ₹599, study material and dataset ₹999, and the project template with a 1:1 review ₹1,699. None are required to attend.
A Certificate of Completion in Nextflow for Bioinformatics, issued by DrOmics once you complete the workshop. It is included from the ₹599 tier onwards.
Join the free live workshop and leave with a working Nextflow DNA-Seq pipeline, containers that make it portable, and the workflow habits that save you the re-run. Certificate and materials are optional add-ons.
