Localized reading guide
nextflow-developmentPurpose, usage and source
Run nf-core bioinformatics pipelines (rnaseq, sarek, atacseq) on sequencing data. Use when analyzing RNA-seq, WGS/WES, or ATAC-seq data—either local FASTQs or public datasets from GEO/SRA. Triggers on nf-core, Nextflow, FASTQ analysis, variant calling, gene expression, differential expression, GEO reanalysis, GSE/GSM/SRR accessions, or samplesheet creation.

The purpose and workflow passages below are upstream material, organized and translated for reading. They are distinct from the separately labeled Codez editorial analysis.
What this Skill does
Run nf-core bioinformatics pipelines (rnaseq, sarek, atacseq) on sequencing data. Use when analyzing RNA-seq, WGS/WES, or ATAC-seq data—either local FASTQs or public datasets from GEO/SRA. Triggers on nf-core, Nextflow, FASTQ analysis, variant calling, gene expression, differential expression, GEO reanalysis, GSE/GSM/SRR accessions, or samplesheet creation.
How the upstream workflow works
nf-core Pipeline Deployment
Run nf-core bioinformatics pipelines on local or public sequencing data. Target users: Bench scientists and researchers without specialized bioinformatics training who need to run large-scale omics analyses—differential expression, variant calling, or chromatin accessibility analysis.
Upstream passage · L6 ↗Step 0: Acquire Data (GEO/SRA Only)
Skip this step if user has local FASTQ files. For public datasets, fetch from GEO/SRA first. See references/geo-sra-acquisition.md for the full workflow. DECISION POINT: After fetching study info, confirm with user: Which sample subset to download (if multiple data types)
Upstream passage · L26 ↗Step 2: Select Pipeline
DECISION POINT: Confirm with user before proceeding. Auto-detect from data: For pipeline-specific details:
Upstream passage · L88 ↗- [ ] Step 0: Acquire data (if from GEO/SRA)
- [ ] Step 1: Environment check (MUST pass)

Step 1: Environment Check
Run first. Pipeline will fail without passing environment. All critical checks must pass. If any fail, provide fix instructions:
Upstream passage · L53 ↗Limits and quality checks
No separate limits passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill is safe for every input or environment. Review the complete source and validate your own result.
Start with a safe trial
- Check the supported host and the repository installation instructions. Keep the Skill directory and its referenced scripts, assets and documentation together; SKILL.md alone may omit dependencies.
- Give the agent your real input, desired output and acceptance criteria. Invocation syntax and available tools depend on the host; this site does not assume a universal install command.
- Try the source workflow in a disposable project or on a copy. Review operations that change files, remote services or billable resources before allowing them.
- Validate the output against the source quality checks and your own requirements. A successful trigger or a high repository Star count does not establish a correct result.
