-# CellRanger Pipeline
+10x Genomics scRNA-Seq (cellranger) mkfastq Pipeline
+========================================
 
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This pipeline is a wrapper for the cellranger mkfastq tool from 10x Genomics, which is a wrapper for Illumina's bcl2fastq tool. It takes tarballed bcl files from 10x Genomics Single Cell Gene Expression libraries, and untar's and deconvolves them into fastq's.
+
+The pipeline uses Nextflow, a bioinformatics workflow tool.
+
+This pipeline is primarily used with a SLURM cluster on the BioHPC Cluster. However, the pipeline should be able to run on any system that Nextflow supports.
+
+Additionally, the pipeline is designed to work with Astrocyte Workflow System using a simple web interface.
