Legacy workflows

The documentation in this chapter is for workflows that have been deprecated and that will be retired in a future version. In most cases, deprecated workflows can be found in the Legacy Template Workflows () folder of the CLC Workbench Toolbox, with "(legacy)" appended to their names to highlight their status.

If you have concerns about the retirement of particular workflows in this section, please contact QIAGEN Bioinformatics Support team at ts-bioinformatics@qiagen.com.
