Accelerating Innovation: Inside the Genomics England Hackathon 2025

Last month, Seqera hosted a hackathon with Genomics England, bringing together bioinformaticians and Nextflow experts to tackle real-world challenges and enhance workflow capabilities. Over 2 days, teams tackled several critical projects, from following nf-core best practices to converting legacy WDL variant calling pipelines to Nextflow. The goal was to accelerate development, build technical confidence, and embed best practices across Genomics England.
