Introducing RustQC: 60x faster RNA-Seq quality control!
We used AI to reimplement 15 RNA-Seq QC tools (dupRadar, Qualimap, RSeQC, Preseq, samtools, featureCounts) into a single tool, written in @rust-lang.org:
β
15 h analyses β 15 min
β
Identical outputs
β
Drastically reduced I/O
The nf-core Hackathon is coming to Boston on Apr 28-29! π
Collaborate with the community on projects ranging from adding new features to existing @nextflow.io pipelines to building entirely new ones.
Plus, network with fellow Nextflow developers at the hackathon social π

We're thrilled to welcome 46 new Nextflow Ambassadors in 2026!π This milestone brings our global community to a remarkable 143 ambassadors across 40 countries (our largest cohort ever).π Here's to building the future of scientific workflows together! π
What a week! π We wrapped up two amazing Sessions on the west coast, packed with hands-on training, industry insights, and valuable conversations. Huge thanks to everyone who joined us.
As testing demands increase & pipeline complexity scales, diagnostics teams often struggle with inconsistent execution across environments.
Seqera standardizes how workflows are run, providing reproducible execution, clear visibility & operational control.

Keynote speaker announcement: @tommytang.bsky.social at #NextflowSummit Boston!π Tommy is a computational biologist with 14+ years experience in genomics, epigenomics & single-cell transcriptomics and leads epigenetics bioinformatics for oncology at @astra-zeneca.bsky.socialπ§¬
I have always been very amazed by nextflow community. The scientists in the community are always so helpful. I am so privileged to be able to serve as a community ambassador now alongside the great incoming 2026 cohort!
I am very happy to be able to give back to the community in these little ways.

@nextflow.io Training Week is coming to a close! π We hope you were able to take some time to work through one or more training courses and level up your Nextflow skills. πThank you to all participants, Nextflow ambassadors, and community members who made this week possible!
Diagnostics workflows in production require operational visibility, not just orchestration.
As pipelines scale in production, teams need visibility into execution, consistent performance across environments, and the ability to resolve issues fast with full audit trails.
The wet-lab results from @adaptyv.bio's Nipah Binder Competition are in! π§ͺ While our candidate didnβt bind, the results highlight the importance of experimental validation in protein binder design.
