How to run any nf-core analysis over the Cloud: an example using the nf-core/rnaseq pipeline

In this blog post, we will show you how it is possible to run any of the stable release nf-core pipelines with ease over the Cloud by using the Deploit platform. We have used the RNA-seq pipeline as an example because it is the most popular of all the nf-core pipelines. The following can also be done for any of the nf-core pipelines.
