What problem does it solve?

LatchBio integration enables researchers to quickly build and deploy serverless bioinformatics workflows on the Latch platform using Python decorators, UI generation, and cloud data primitives.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define serverless bioinformatics workflows with @workflow/@task decorators.
  • Integrate Nextflow and Snakemake pipelines within Latch-powered pipelines.
  • Deploy, manage, and reproduce workflows across local and cloud environments.
  • Use LatchFile/LatchDir for data handling and Registry-like integration for data tracking.

Quick Start

Create and deploy a new Latch workflow following example patterns and reference documentation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy serverless bioinformatics workflows on the Latch platform?

You can deploy serverless bioinformatics workflows on Latch by defining pipelines with Python @workflow and @task decorators, which handle containerized execution and automatic UI generation. The platform manages local and cloud deployment for reproducible research.

Can I integrate existing Nextflow or Snakemake pipelines within Latch workflows?

Yes, Latch supports integrating existing Nextflow and Snakemake pipelines within its Python decorator-based workflows. This allows you to migrate current pipeline logic into Latch's serverless cloud environment for management and reproduction.

How does Latch handle bioinformatics data tracking and remote files?

Latch uses LatchFile and LatchDir data primitives for data handling, providing Registry-like integration for tracking. These primitives manage remote file paths so workflows process cloud data natively without manual path configuration.

Do I need Docker to build reproducible pipelines with Latch?

Latch relies on containerized execution to ensure pipelines are reproducible across local and cloud environments. You must define container dependencies so the platform can automatically build and execute the serverless bioinformatics workflows.

What is the best way to generate a UI for a bioinformatics workflow?

Latch provides automatic UI generation for bioinformatics workflows defined with Python @workflow and @task decorators. By using these decorators to declare parameters, the platform dynamically builds a web interface for pipeline execution.
