Join us for our weekly series of short talks: nf-core/bytesize.

Just 15 minutes + questions, we focus on topics about using and developing nf-core pipelines. These are recorded and made available at https://nf-co.re , helping to build an archive of training material. Got an idea for a talk? Let us know on the #bytesize Slack channel!

This week, Nicolas (@nvnieuwk) is introducing topic channels for nf-core/modules. A topic channel is a channel that can receive values from many sources implicitly based on a matching topic name. You can think of it as a channel that is shared across many different processes using the same topic name. Using a topic channel is as such a convenient way to collect related items from many different sources without explicitly connecting them (e.g. using the mix operator).
