Number of pytests in the nf-core modules repository over time

New pipeline first releases! 🎉

These pipelines just had their very first release.

nf-core/proteinannotatorv1.0.0
Generation of sequence-level annotations for amino acid sequences
nf-core/seqinspectorv1.0.0
Dedicated QC-only pipeline for sequencing data. The pipeline will run a (potentially large) set of QC tools and can output global and group specific Multiqc reports. The pipeline is targeting core facilities or research groups with larger sequencing throughput.
