PROFILE

Gary Burnett

Contributed to the nf-core/rnaseq repository by developing and enhancing GPU-accelerated RNA-Seq workflows, focusing on Parabricks integration and robust pipeline automation. Leveraged Nextflow scripting, Groovy, and YAML to implement new modules, expand schema validation, and refine resource management for both GPU and CPU environments. Improved CI/CD reliability through expanded test coverage, memory limit enforcement, and targeted refactoring of workflow components. Addressed output handling, logging, and test automation to increase reproducibility and throughput. These efforts resulted in more predictable, production-ready genomic data processing pipelines, supporting efficient RNA sequencing analysis and streamlined deployment on diverse hardware infrastructures.

January 2026: nf-core/rnaseq delivered GPU-accelerated Parabricks-enabled RNA-Seq workflow enhancements and expanded validation for Parabricks STAR integration. Key improvements include integrating rnafq2bam, aligning output and log handling with STAR conventions, adding Parabricks genomegenerate to the PREPARE_GENOME subworkflows, and tuning resource configurations for reliability. The testing framework now covers Parabricks STAR genome generation, prepare_genome, and end-to-end validation. These changes boost throughput, reproducibility, and CI stability, enabling production-ready performance on supported hardware.
