✦ Omicsboard Lab (Beta)

The AI scientific workspace
for computational life sciences

Plan, analyze, automate and discover. Omi runs real code on your data
and turns it into figures and a report you can check step by step.

Three ways Omi works with you

Learn

Understand the science, not just get an answer. Omi types and explains each line live, out loud, on real data.

Analyze

A real, publication-grade result on your data or a research topic, with the method and caveats explained.

Build

Turn a method or paper into a real tool: multi-file software, dashboards and pipelines, tested live.

The Infrastructure
Behind Your
Next Discovery.

Biology is producing more data than most teams can afford to analyze. Omicsboard Lab is the infrastructure that brings data, compute and AI agents together, so your science can keep up.

01

Your Data, Under Your Control

Files stay on your machine unless you choose a cloud run. Cloud files sit in your own workspace, and strict mode refuses outside services.

02

Compute When the Job Needs It

Work in a local notebook, then send heavy jobs to our cloud server. No clusters to manage and no tools to install.

03

Agents That Run Real Pipelines

Omi plans the work and runs tools like AMRFinderPlus, IQ-TREE and GATK, with your approval first. Claude and ChatGPT can reach them through our connector.

04

Reproducible by Default

Every tool and software version is recorded as the work happens, so results can be checked, repeated and defended.

Capabilities

One Platform to learn, analyze, build & discover

A live coding notebook with an AI partner who does real work, and is honest about what runs here vs. in the cloud.

From genomics and single-cell to proteomics, structural biology and scientific machine learning. Bring your data or just a question, and Omi finds real public data and runs the analysis.

Omi writes and runs real code, Python here and R on our cloud server, with the output, plots and explanation appearing together. No setup.

More than 30 tools for QC, assembly, variants, taxonomy, resistance and phylogenetics run on our cloud server when a job is too heavy for your laptop.

Pulls sequences, runs and public data from NCBI, ENA, WHO, Ensembl, UniProt and more, and reviews the literature to find the gap. Never invented.

Every result comes with what it means, the honest caveats and the next hypothesis to test.

Full reports and manuscripts with your figures, real citations and every software version, in your target journal’s style. Save as PDF or Word.

Your data, your choice

You decide where every step runs, and we tell you plainly what leaves your machine.

On your machine

The notebook runs locally and reads your files from your disk. Your raw files stay there. What Omi reads to help you, your messages and each cell's output, goes to the language model.

Images you ask Omi to read and voice features use outside services.

In the cloud, when you choose

Heavy jobs run on our cloud server only when you choose a cloud run. Files you send are kept in your own workspace there.

For strict data rules

Organizations with tighter requirements can use a strict mode that refuses features sending content to outside services. Talk to us about your setup.

MCP connector

Use our cloud tools from Claude or ChatGPT

Connect your paid Omicsboard Lab account to your AI assistant and run gold-standard bioinformatics tools from the conversation. Usage is billed to your account, and results you bring into the chat go to your assistant's provider.

How to connect

Made for every scale of research

Students & learners

Understand a method by watching Omi build it line by line, then keep the notebook to practise.

Researchers & PhDs

Your own data, your own question, and an exportable report for your paper.

Clinicians & laboratories

Analyze and interpret without a bioinformatics degree or a queue for the one specialist.

Institutions

Seats and shared pools for departments, managed by your own admins. See the grant

Industry & government

Surveillance and screening programmes with a full paper trail.

Builders

Turn an analysis into a working, tested tool or dashboard you can share.

FAQ

Questions answered

Does my genomic data get sent to the cloud?

Only if you choose. Omi reads your files (FASTQ, CSV, VCF, count matrices) from your disk and works on them in a notebook on your machine, and your raw files stay there. What Omi reads to help you, your messages and each cell's output, goes to the language model. If you choose a cloud run, the files for that job go to your own workspace on our cloud server.

What operating systems are supported?

Omicsboard Lab runs on Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) and on Linux (x86-64 AppImage), and you can also use Omi in your browser on the web. macOS is on the roadmap. The live Python notebook and a full scientific stack are set up for you on first launch — no pre-installation.

Do I need to know bioinformatics to use it?

Not at all. It's built for everyone from first-time learners to senior scientists. In Learn mode Omi teaches line by line and out loud; in Analyze mode it just delivers the result and explains what it means.

What can it actually run — and what about R tools?

The local notebook is Python, with the full scientific stack (BioPython, pandas, scanpy, scikit-bio, PyDESeq2, and more, installed on demand). For R and heavy jobs, Omi uses our cloud server, with R and gold-standard tools such as AMRFinderPlus, IQ-TREE and GATK, and brings the results back into the notebook.

How is this different from using ChatGPT for bioinformatics?

ChatGPT gives you code to copy-paste. Omi actually writes and runs the code on your real data, reads the output, fixes its own errors, produces the figures, and explains the result — a working analyst, not a code generator.

Can I use results from Omi in a published paper — how do I cite it?

Yes — but cite what actually ran, not Omi itself. There's no paper or DOI for Omicsboard Lab to reference; instead cite the real tool (PyDESeq2, Scanpy, DADA2…) and the real database with its version, both of which Omi already shows you as it works. Many journals also expect a plain disclosure of AI-assisted analysis in Methods or Acknowledgments — see the full citation guide in the docs.
