+**Using dependencies in Slurm**
+Slurm has a fairly robust set of dependencies you can use.  These are set when you submit the job and can be used for setting up pipelines.  A job can depend on more than one other job as well.
+To use dependencies, submit the job with the following switch.  If using multiple dependency types, they should be comma seperated:
+<code>
+-d, --dependency=<dependency_list>
+</code>
+----
 You may want to run a set of jobs sequentially, so that the second job runs only after the first one has completed. This can be accomplished using Slurm's job dependencies options. For example, if you have two jobs, ''job1.batch'' and ''job2.batch'', you can utilize job dependencies as in the example below :
