What's new
Nextflow 26.04 (2026) enables the strict syntax parser by default and adds records, static typing and a native module registry.
Nextflow lets you compose pipelines as dataflow between processes, with built-in support for containers (Docker, Singularity, Wave), HPC schedulers and all major clouds.
Highlights
- Portable: the same pipeline runs on a laptop, Slurm, Kubernetes or AWS/GCP/Azure batch.
- Resumable execution and full provenance.
- Backed by nf-core, a large library of community pipelines.
Example
1process FASTQC {2 input: path reads3 output: path "*_fastqc.zip"4 script: "fastqc ${reads}"5}
