What problem does it solve?
This Skill simplifies the creation, deployment, and management of complex bioinformatics workflows, making advanced computational biology accessible without deep infrastructure expertise.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Serverless Workflow Definition: Define workflows using Python decorators (
@workflow, @task).
- Data Management: Seamlessly handle cloud data with
LatchFile and LatchDir, and organize experiments with the Latch Registry.
- Resource Configuration: Easily specify compute resources (CPU, GPU, memory) for tasks.
- Verified Workflows: Leverage pre-built, production-ready pipelines for common analyses like RNA-seq, AlphaFold, and more.
- Use Case: A researcher needs to analyze a new set of sequencing data. They can use this Skill to quickly define a pipeline that preprocesses the FASTQ files, aligns them to a reference genome, and performs differential gene expression analysis, all deployed as a serverless application.
Quick Start
Install the Latch SDK by running 'python3 -m uv pip install latch'.
