The 22-node RNA-Seq run, on a real canvas.

This is the actual bundled template, running live on a canvas instead of a video. Every node carries its real parameters and ports. Nodes light up as they complete and show their outputs inline, and the whole run stays in frame. Zoom in to read any step.

rnaseq.pipeline

Straight from the app.

The same screenshots as our README, one per screen. The node editor, the parameter panels, the run console, and the execution backends, exactly as they ship.

Turn any paper into a pipeline.

Drop in a DOI and BioNodulo reads the paper’s methods, then suggests a matching workflow with the nodes pre-wired. Open it in the editor as a starting point and shape it into your own analysis.

Built-in tools with visible environments.

943 built-in nodes cover the stack, and each one is inspectable on the canvas before you run anything. BioNodulo provisions supported environments from the tools’ own package metadata, with the requirements in plain sight before the run starts.

Describe it, and watch it build.

An agent inside the editor. It reads your graph, adds and validates nodes against the real registry, runs the workflow, then reads the logs and fixes what broke. You review the plan instead of wiring every step by hand.

rnaseq.pipeline2 editing

Edit together, in real time.

Two people, one canvas. Presence cursors show who’s where, you can follow a teammate around the graph, and comment pins keep the discussion on the node it’s about — a CRDT keeps every edit in sync with no merge conflicts.

  • Presence cursors & follow-user
  • Comment pins anchored to nodes
  • Conflict-free multiplayer editing

The same canvas, with cloud compute behind it.

The cloud path, built on SkyPilot, is in beta. Submit the same workflow representation from the canvas, choose a resource profile, and follow its status while launch canaries and production operations are finalized.

22 bundled workflow starting points.

RNA-Seq, variant calling, single-cell, metagenomics, proteomics, and more. Open one on the canvas, inspect every step, and adapt it to your data.

Build your first pipeline in minutes.
