is a bioinformatics workflow manager that enables the development of portable and reproducible workflows. The software is used by scientists and engineers to write, deploy and share data-intensive, highly scalable, workflows on any infrastructure.
nf-quilt is a developed by Quilt
Data that enables you read and write directly to instead of just S3 locations.
All you need to do is add the nf-quilt plugin to a Nextflow pipeline that

Specify it in the Advanced Options for a Seqera Platform job:
To use older versions of nf-quilt, you can specify the version number of the

location using environment variable. For example, to use version 0.8.6, setNXF_PLUGINS_TEST_REPOSITORY from the command-line or the "Pre-run script" of
the Seqera Platform:
The canonical reference to a package is defined by a quilt+ URI. For example,

package with the Quilt URI:
You can then use that URI as input to future jobs, and similar URIs for the output, e.g.,
The nf-quilt plugin supports a wide range of additional options for
