Nextflow support in Terra

Post author
Geraldine Van der Auwera

Nextflow is a popular bioinformatics workflow language with a fast-growing community of users. It is technically possible to submit Nextflow workflows from within a notebook in Terra but it would be incredibly valuable to offer a user experience on par with Terra's WDL capabilities.

    +1 it would be AMAZING if Nextflow workflows had full-fledged support in the same way that WDL workflows currently run on Terra.

    The eQTL Catalogue (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/eqtl/) is also extensively using Nextflow workflows and we would love to be able to run those on Terra.
