# nf-core/newsletter, October 2026 16 pipeline releases, 1 upcoming event. [View on the nf-core website](https://nf-co.re/newsletter/2026/10) ## New pipeline first releases 🎉 These pipelines just had their very first release. - [nf-core/funcprofiler](https://nf-co.re/funcprofiler) v1.0.0 — Read-based functional profiling of microbiome sequencing data - [nf-core/genomeqc](https://nf-co.re/genomeqc) v1.0.0, v1.0.1 — Compare the quality of multiple genomes, along with their annotations. - [nf-core/rnastructurome](https://nf-co.re/rnastructurome) v1.0.0 — a bioinformatics pipeline for analysing chemical high-throughput RNA structure-probing data - [nf-core/stableexpression](https://nf-co.re/stableexpression) vv1.0.0, v1.0.0 — This pipeline is designed to identify the most stable genes in one or more expression datasets (RNA-seq / Microarray). The ideal use case is for determining the most suitable RT-qPCR reference genes for a given species. ## Pipeline releases - [nf-core/demultiplex](https://nf-co.re/demultiplex) v1.8.0 _(15 Sept 2026)_ - [nf-core/fetchngs](https://nf-co.re/fetchngs) v1.13.0 _(15 Sept 2026)_ - [nf-core/genomeassembler](https://nf-co.re/genomeassembler) v2.0.0 _(18 Sept 2026)_ - [nf-core/hadge](https://nf-co.re/hadge) v1.0.0 _(29 Sept 2026)_ - [nf-core/isoseq](https://nf-co.re/isoseq) v3.0.0, v3.0.1 _(23 Sept 2026)_ - [nf-core/metatdenovo](https://nf-co.re/metatdenovo) v1.4.1 _(15 Sept 2026)_ - [nf-core/oncoanalyser](https://nf-co.re/oncoanalyser) v3.0.0 _(1 Sept 2026)_ - [nf-core/phyloplace](https://nf-co.re/phyloplace) v2.2.0, v2.3.0 _(23 Sept 2026)_ - [nf-core/pixelator](https://nf-co.re/pixelator) v5.0.2 _(11 Sept 2026)_ - [nf-core/riboseq](https://nf-co.re/riboseq) v2.0.0 _(15 Sept 2026)_ - [nf-core/rnaseq](https://nf-co.re/rnaseq) v3.27.0 _(23 Sept 2026)_ - [nf-core/viralmetagenome](https://nf-co.re/viralmetagenome) v1.2.0 _(16 Sept 2026)_ ## Upcoming events - **Hackathon** [Hackathon - October 2026 (Barcelona)](https://nf-co.re/events/2026/hackathon-barcelona) — 15 Oct 2026 – 16 Oct 2026 An in-person hackathon held in Barcelona ## In case you missed it ### Recent events - [Bytesize: nf-core/nft-utils](https://nf-co.re/events/2026/bytesize_nft-utils) — 2 Sept 2026 (Bytesize) ### Earlier blog posts - [nf-core/tools - 4.1.0](https://nf-co.re/blog/2026/tools-4_1_0) — 29 Jul 2026 - [Maintainers Minutes: May - June 2026](https://nf-co.re/blog/2026/maintainers-minutes-2026-06-26) — 1 Jul 2026 ### Earlier advisories - **HIGH** [Merged families use the wrong sample's seed MSAs in proteinfamilies pipeline 2.0.0 - 2.4.0](https://nf-co.re/advisories/proteinfamilies-cross-sample-merged-seeds) — 11 Aug 2026 - **CRITICAL** [Remote code execution and bot token theft via the pipeline template's PR-comment workflow](https://nf-co.re/advisories/pr-comment-workflow-vulnerability) — 23 Jul 2026 ## New pipelines & proposals ### Pipeline proposals From [nf-core/proposals](https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues). - [nf-core/taxmarker](https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues/165) — Accepted (#165) - [nf-core/fragmentomics](https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues/160) — Accepted (#160) - [nf-core/strcalling](https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues/155) — Accepted (#155) - [nf-core/captnseq](https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues/173) — New (#173) - [nf-core/nanometaepigenomics](https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues/172) — New (#172) - [nf-core/ontbmod](https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues/171) — New (#171) - [nf-core/popstructure](https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues/170) — New (#170) - [nf-core/genomeannotation](https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues/169) — New (#169) - [nf-core/mlomix](https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues/168) — New (#168) - [nf-core/nanometabarcoding](https://github.com/nf-core/proposals/issues/167) — New (#167) --- This newsletter is brought to you by the [nf-core](https://nf-co.re) community.
