how to use nohup with parallel

I run the follwing code in conda enviroment:

nohup cat list.txt |  parallel --jobs 10 fastq-dump {} --split-3 --gzip -O ./  > log.txt 2>&1 &

After I logging out from the terminal, the log.txt shows :

parallel: SIGHUP received. No new jobs will be started.

Is there anyway to continue the job after logging out?

parallel nohup

After command

cat list.txt | parallel --jobs 10 fastq-dump {} --split-3 --gzip -O ./ > log.txt 2>&1 &

you can use jobs -l to get the job pid, then run disown xxx, "xxx" is your job pid, then you can exit shell and won't affect your job.
