SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Latch-based workflow deployment enables researchers to convert core bioinformatics pipelines into scalable, serverless solutions without heavy infrastructure management.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Integrates Python-based Latch workflows with Nextflow and Snakemake for multi-language pipelines
  • Auto-generates UI and supports data management with LatchFile/LatchDir
  • Supports deployment, containerization, and interoperability across RNA-seq, single-cell, proteomics scenarios

Quick Start

Install the Latch SDK and register a simple Python workflow that processes a sample file with LatchFile.

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.
