Overview of EPI2ME Labs Workflows

The Nanopore Learning course on Human Genome Sequencing and Analysis had a short video introducing the EPI2ME Labs workflows. Anthony Doran, a Technical Applications Scientist in Bioinformatics at Oxford Nanopore Technologies, spoke about the bioinformatics workflows available in EPI2ME Labs. Workflows were defined as multistep pipelines that may include many software and files at different stages. Files from one stage may be used in the next stage of the workflow. EPI2ME Labs workflows are packaged with tutorials for high-throughput data analysis. EPI2ME Labs requires Nextflow and Docker. Workflows can produce many output files. EPI2ME workflows are based on versions of open-source code hosted on GitHub. Workflows are launched on your local computer and can be easily updated. There are several workflows available with documentation. This video was a simple and informative explanation of workflows and how EPI2ME Labs works.
