In an insightful presentation titled “Challenges and Limitations of Building a Comprehensive Animal Phenotype”, Cristina Casto Rebollo introduced the NextFlow team to the EU-LI-PHE project and network. The talk, aimed at fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing, provided an in-depth overview of the project, with a special focus on Working Group 3 (WG3), which deals with the algorithms used in computational approaches to livestock phenotyping.
The primary objective of the presentation was to explore potential synergies between the EU-LI-PHE project and the NextFlow community. By addressing the challenges and limitations of computational analysis on phenomics, Cristina highlighted opportunities for collaboration that could benefit both groups. The talk also served as a platform to disseminate information about the EU-LI-PHE project within the animal genomics and NextFlow communities.
NextFlow is a widely-used scientific workflow system, predominantly applied in bioinformatic data analyses. It sets standards for programmatically authoring sequences of dependent computational steps and facilitates their execution across various local and cloud-based resources.
