New pipeline first releases 🎉

These pipelines just had their very first release.

• nf-core/drugresponseeval v1.0.0 — Pipeline for testing drug response prediction models in a statistically and biologically sound way.
• nf-core/rangeland v1.0.0 — Pipeline for remotely sensed imagery. The pipeline processes satellite imagery alongside auxiliary data in multiple steps to arrive at a set of trend files related to land-cover changes.

New pipelines & proposals

New pipeline repositories

• nf-core/deepmutscan (in development) — nf-core/deepmutscan is a reproducible, scalable, and community-curated pipeline for analyzing deep mutational scanning (DMS) data using shotgun DNA sequencing.
• nf-core/evexplorer (in development) — nf-core/evexplorer is a pipeline for analyzing RNA data from extracellular vesicles, compatible with technologies such as nextflex, comboSeq, and ONT with further support forthcoming. evexplorer handles QC, expressed region detection, library size normalization and Differential RNA Expression (DRE)
