AWS HealthOmics now supports Nextflow version 26.04

AWS HealthOmics now supports Nextflow version 26.04, enabling customers to take advantage of new Nextflow features and enhancements: record types, the strict syntax parser, workflow output summaries, and agent logging mode. AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps healthcare and life sciences customers accelerate scientific breakthroughs at scale with fully managed bioinformatics workflows. The strict syntax parser, now enabled by default in Nextflow v26.04, helps customers save compute time and costs by enforcing strict linting, consistent block structures, and unambiguous scoping, catching issues during pipeline initialization rather than hours into workflows. Record types allow workflow developers to write workflows with meaningful data names rather than keeping track of order of tuple elements, making workflows more readable, and less error-prone. Workflow output summary in JSON format simplifies integration with downstream tooling. Agent logging mode provides structured, minimal output optimized for AI-assisted workflow debugging and development. Nextflow v26.04 is now available in all AWS HealthOmics regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), Israel (Tel Aviv), and Asia Pacific (Singapore, Seoul).
