Welcome to the nf-neuro project ! A Nextflow modules and workflows repository for neuroimaging maintained by the SCIL team. The primary focus of the library is to provide pre-built processes and processing sequences for neuroimaging, optimized for Nextflow DSL2, based on open-source technologies and made easily available to pipeline's developers through the nf-core framework.

WHY ? nf-neuro

Let's say you develop a pipeline for neuroimaging. You want to make it the more efficient, reliable, reproducible and also be able to evaluate it and control the quality of its outputs. That's what nf-neuro provides to you, all in one repository, hosting all dependencies you need to start developing and analyzing.

The only thing we ask of you is to develop in Nextflow DSL2. We use principle and standards closely aligned with nf-core, but we'll make you adapt to them slowly as you go (we still haven't finished complying to all of them ourselves). Using nf-neuro helps accelerate development in neuroimaging and produces better research outcomes for all !

Where do I start ?

Check out our documentation ! You will find everything you need to build your own module, create a subworkflow or create your own pipeline using nf-neuro components!

Contributing to the nf-neuro project

nf-neuro accepts contribution of new modules and subworkflows to its library. You'll need first to setup your environment, for which we have devised clever ways to streamline the procedure. Then, depending on which kind of component you want to submit, you'll either need to follow the module creation or the subworkflow creation guidelines. Components that don't abide to them won't be accepted and PR containing them will be closed automatically.
