SciLifeLab seminar: Automation of research processes with LLMs and AI

Building and testing scientific workflows with LLMs and AI agents

Invited speaker 2025-03-06 Stockholm

Invited to give a talk at a SciLifeLab DDLS event: Automation of research processes with LLMs and AI.

Abstract

Nextflow has become the leading tool for scientific workflows in bioinformatics, but writing workflows can be challenging. This talk introduces Seqera AI, a new tool that helps generate Nextflow pipelines either from scratch, from existing scripts, or even other workflow languages. I’ll discuss how Seqera AI is able to generate best-practice DSL2 code that follows nf-core guidelines, and how we go beyond just code generation: creating and running test suites with AI agents, streamlining development while improving code quality and validation.
