What problem does it solve?
LaminDB helps you manage biological datasets so they are discoverable and reusable, while preserving end-to-end provenance so results can be traced back to the exact data and computation that produced them.
Core Features & Use Cases
- FAIR data management for biology: Turn datasets into versioned, queryable artifacts with typed metadata (features) and consistent annotations.
- Data lineage and reproducibility: Track computational workflows, capture inputs/outputs, record parameters, and visualize lineage graphs.
- Ontology-driven curation: Standardize annotations using biological ontologies (via Bionty), validate schemas, and enforce dataset structure.
- Use Case: Curate scRNA-seq outputs from multiple batches by validating schema, standardizing cell-type labels through an ontology, saving the validated artifacts, and then querying across batches by tissue and condition.
Quick Start
Use the lamindb skill to curate and validate an annotated dataset by following the guidance in the references files, starting with schema design and then saving a validated artifact with linked ontology terms.
