# nf-core

> nf-core is a community effort to collect a curated set of open-source, best-practice analysis pipelines built using Nextflow. Pipelines are portable, reproducible, and scalable, running identically on a laptop, HPC cluster, or cloud. The same community also maintains a large library of reusable Nextflow modules and subworkflows.

The website (https://nf-co.re) is the central hub for the project: it lists every pipeline, module, and subworkflow, hosts documentation and tutorials, and surfaces community information such as events, governance, and contributor stats. Machine-readable catalogues of all pipelines and components are published as JSON for programmatic use.

## Pipelines & components

- [Pipelines](https://nf-co.re/pipelines/): Browse all nf-core Nextflow analysis pipelines, with usage, parameters, and release information.
- [Modules](https://nf-co.re/modules/): Reusable, standalone Nextflow process modules that wrap individual bioinformatics tools.
- [Subworkflows](https://nf-co.re/subworkflows/): Reusable chains of modules that perform common multi-step tasks.
