# LatchBio Integration ## Overview Latch is a Python framework for building and deploying bioinformatics workflows as serverless pipelines. Built on Flyte, create workflows with @workflow/@task decorators, manage cloud data with LatchFile/LatchDir, configure resources, and integrate Nextflow/Snakemake pipelines. ## Core Capabilities The Latch platform provides four main areas of functionality: ### 1. Workflow Creation and Deployment - Define serverless workflows using Python decorators - Support for native Python, Nextflow, and Snakemake pipelines - Automatic containerization with Docker - Auto-generated no-code user interfaces - Version control and reproducibility ### 2. Data Management - Cloud storage abstractions (LatchFile, LatchDir) - Structured data organization with Registry (Projects → Tables → Records) - Type-safe data operations with links and enums - Automatic file transfer between local and cloud - Glob pattern matching for file selection ### 3. Resource Configuration - Pre-configured task decorators (@small_task, @large_task, @small_gpu_task, @large_gpu_task) - Custom resource specifications (CPU, memory, GPU, storage) - GPU support (K80, V100, A100) - Timeout and storage configuration - Cost optimization strategies ### 4. Verified Workflows - Production-ready pre-built pipelines - Bulk RNA-seq, DESeq2, pathway analysis - AlphaFold and ColabFold for protein structure prediction - Single-cell tools (ArchR, scVelo, emptyDropsR) - CRISPR analysis, phylogenet...
