Triage
FASTA/FASTQ QC and inspection
Chain inspection and statistics tools to triage a sequencing file in seconds, no upload needed.
Workflows
Build workflows
Drag bioinformatics tools into a DAG inside your browser tab. Outputs flow live, parameters re-execute on the fly, and the whole thing is just a static page that runs WebAssembly.

In practice
Example scenarios
Three things people actually do with the Workflow page today.
Data prep
Format conversion pipeline
Convert between FASTA, FASTQ, and SEQ; reverse, complement, and slice. All in one signed recipe.
Education
Teaching demo
Share a recipe link with a class. Anyone can open it in the browser and walk through the same DAG step by step.
