## New pipelines & proposals

### New pipeline repositories

- [nf-core/abotyper](https://nf-co.re/abotyper) _(in development)_ — A pipeline for characterising the Human Blood Group and Red Cell Antigens using Oxford Nanopore third-generation sequencing data.
- [nf-core/stableexpression](https://nf-co.re/stableexpression) _(in development)_ — This pipeline is dedicated to identifying the most stable genes within a single or multiple expression dataset(s). This is particularly useful for identifying the most suitable RT-qPCR reference genes for a specific species.
