7 This training will walk you through the development of a
8 best-practices CWL workflow. At the conclusion of this training, you
9 should have a grasp of the essential components of a workflow, and
10 have a basis for learning more.
14 > This training assumes some basic familiarity with editing text files,
15 > the Unix command line, and Unix shell scripts.
17 > Specific knowledge of the biology of RNA-seq is *not* a prerequisite
18 > for these lessons. Although orignally developed to solve big data
19 > problems in genomics, CWL is not domain specific to bioinformatics,
20 > and is used in a number of other fields including medical imaging,
21 > astronomy, geospatial imaging, and machine learning. We hope that
