 Groovy-style type annotations (e.g., `String x`) are still supported for functions and local variables. However, the language server and `nextflow lint` will automatically convert them to Nextflow-style annotations during code formatting.

 When the workflow is executed, it creates two processes (`blast_search` and `extract_top_hits`) connected by the channel `query_ch`. Each process executes a task and emits a value for each input that it receives. Whenever `blast_search` emits a value, `extract_top_hits` receives it through the `query_ch` channel.
