A modern open-source platform that transforms bioinformatics workflow outputs into interactive dashboards.
Workflow Ecosystem
Connect with standardized bioinformatics workflows from various platforms.
The demo is running an "unauthenticated mode" to allow anyone to try it out without needing an account. However, you can create a temporary account to create your own projects and upload datasets.
Note: Accounts and related data will be reset after 1 hour to keep the demo environment clean.

Project Overview
The Challenge
Bioinformatics researchers face significant challenges managing and analyzing large-scale datasets from production workflows. Despite numerous available tools, there's a notable absence of platforms designed for seamless integration with production workflows.
Our Solution
Depictio addresses this gap with a generic, centralized platform that integrates workflow output data to build interactive dashboards. It provides scalable, flexible, and open-source solutions for researchers handling large datasets from any execution engine (Nextflow, Snakemake, Galaxy, R, etc.).
Key Features
Data Ingestion
- Client-side processing: Depictio-CLI allows local data scanning and processing, pushing results to S3 bucket
- Multiple formats: Support for Parquet, CSV, JSON, TSV using Polars and Delta Lake
Frontend & Visualization
- Customizable dashboards: Design and customize dashboards with ease
- Real-time interactivity: Dynamic data exploration with instant updates
- Project organization: Organize dashboards by projects for better management
System & Infrastructure
- Cloud-ready: Built for Kubernetes and Docker-Compose environments
- Open-source: Community-driven development with transparent deployment
