## New pipelines & proposals

### New pipeline repositories

- [nf-core/deepmodeloptim](https://nf-co.re/deepmodeloptim) _(in development)_ — Stochastic Testing and Input Manipulation for Unbiased Learning Systems
- [nf-core/seqinspector](https://nf-co.re/seqinspector) — Dedicated QC-only pipeline for sequencing data. The pipeline will run a (potentially large) set of QC tools and can output global and group specific Multiqc reports. The pipeline is targeting core facilities or research groups with larger sequencing throughput. 
- [nf-core/spatialaxe](https://nf-co.re/spatialaxe) — A bioinformatics best-practice processing and quality control pipeline for Xenium and Artera data
- [nf-core/tfactivity](https://nf-co.re/tfactivity) _(in development)_ — Bioinformatics pipeline that makes use of expression and open chromatin data to identify differentially active transcription factors across conditions.
