+# nf-core/configs: uppmax ampliseq specific configuration
+
+Extra specific configuration for the ampliseq pipeline.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use, run the pipeline with `-profile uppmax`.
+
+This will download and launch the ampliseq specific [`uppmax.config`](../../../conf/pipeline/ampliseq/uppmax.config) which has been pre-configured with a setup suitable for the UPPMAX cluster.
+
+Example: `nextflow run nf-core/ampliseq -profile uppmax`
+
+## ampliseq specific configurations for uppmax
+
+Specific configurations for UPPMAX has been made for ampliseq.
+
+* Makes sure that a fat node is allocated for training and applying a Bayesian classifier.
