New pipelines & proposals

New pipeline repositories

• nf-core/methylarray (in development) — Process methylation data from Illumina arrays. Pre-processing, quality checks, confounder check and DMPs (differentially methylated positions) and DMRs (differentially methylated regions). Optionally estimates cell type composition and adjusts data for it.
• nf-core/troughgraph (in development) — A quantitative assessment of the underlying permafrost landscapes and, per extension, of the level of permafrost thaw in the region
