Episode 29: Nextflow 2023 - 2024
Join us in this episode of the Channels podcast to get a recap of some of the biggest features to be added to Nextflow in 2023 and take a look at some of the things coming in 2024.
We tried to do this in Episode 27 but ended up spending nearly all the time discussing community and nf-core, so this episode is dedicated to just Nextflow features.
