Supported Data Formats
CompuBio supports standard bioinformatics formats out of the box:
- FASTQ — Raw sequencing reads (single-end or paired-end)
- BAM / CRAM — Aligned reads
- VCF — Variant call files
- Metadata (CSV / TSV) — Sample annotations and clinical variables
Metadata Matters
Metadata dramatically improves downstream analysis and AI interpretation.
Examples:
- Sample source
- Phenotype or disease status
- Experimental conditions
- Batch or cohort identifiers
3. Run an Analysis Pipeline
CompuBio provides both prebuilt workflows and custom pipeline design.
Prebuilt Pipelines
Choose from validated workflows such as:
- Variant Calling (DNA / RNA)
- Microbial & Metagenomic Profiling
- GWAS & Population Analysis
- AI-Based Disease Classification
Each pipeline is:
- Containerized
- Versioned
- Fully reproducible
Custom Pipelines
Advanced users can:
- Chain multiple analysis steps
- Configure parameters
- Integrate external tools
- Reuse pipelines across projects
4. Monitor & Track Execution
During execution, CompuBio provides real-time visibility into your analysis.
You can monitor:
- Pipeline status (queued, running, completed, failed)
- Resource usage
- Step-level logs
- Execution time per stage
Failures are clearly reported with actionable error messages.
5. Visualize & Export Results
When analysis completes, results are immediately available.
Interactive Dashboards
Explore results through dynamic visualizations:
- Variant tables with filters
- Abundance plots
- Diversity metrics
- AI prediction summaries
Export Options
Results can be exported as:
- Downloadable reports (PDF / CSV)
- Raw output files
- API-accessible artifacts for downstream integration
