FAQPage Schema

Can I run existing Nextflow or Snakemake pipelines on Latch?▼

Yes, Latch supports compatibility with Nextflow and Snakemake pipelines. You can integrate these existing workflows with Python-based Latch workflows to deploy multi-language bioinformatics pipelines in a serverless environment.

How does Latch handle data management for bioinformatics workflows?▼

Latch manages workflow data using LatchFile and LatchDir objects. These components handle input and output data tracking automatically, ensuring files are correctly routed and accessible during serverless pipeline execution.

Do I need to manually build a user interface for my Latch workflow?▼

No, you do not need to manually build a UI for Latch workflows. The Latch SDK auto-generates a user interface based on your Python workflow definitions, simplifying deployment and parameter configuration for researchers.

What is required to structure a Latch bioinformatics workflow project?▼

Structuring a Latch workflow project requires a root SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter containing the name and description. You can optionally include scripts, references, or assets directories to enrich pipeline functionality.
