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. \ No newline at end of file
