About the project
GenXFlo is a SequoiaAT platform that turns PCR and sequencing steps into a clean visual pipeline. Each tool becomes a component. The system generates Nextflow code and Dockerfiles, then packages everything for a simple run. It supports teams across leading life sciences hubs in Boston and Cambridge, San Diego, the Bay Area, Raleigh Durham, New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle, Houston, Indianapolis, and Austin.
- Visual stitcher connects tools in the right order
- Input, output, and reference paths are validated
- Zero code start with developer friendly overrides
Who uses it
- Research teams in Boston and Cambridge, San Diego, Bay Area, and Raleigh Durham running PCR and amplicon analysis
- Bioinformatics groups standardizing lab to compute flow
- Clinical labs and CROs seeking reproducible runs
PCR workflow at a glance
Sample and metadata intake
Define paths for inputs and references. Keep naming consistent for smooth parsing.
Tool selection
Pick components for trimming, alignment, and variant calls. Required fields are flagged before submit.
Stitch and validate
Connect components in order. The canvas reflects flow. Errors are spotted early.
Code generation
GenXFlo builds Nextflow scripts and Dockerfiles. Everything ships in a single archive.
Execute
Extract and run make run. Docker pulls images and starts the process.
Results
Outputs land in the folder you set. Move straight to interpretation and reporting.
Why teams choose GenXFlo
Reproducibility with Docker
Each component ships with a Dockerfile. Runs are consistent across laptops, clusters, and cloud.
Code control when needed
Scientists can start with defaults. Developers can tune arguments and extend steps.
