Novaflow

Novaflow is an AI-driven bioinformatics analysis platform aimed at life science researchers, academic labs, and biotech teams. It uses large language models to automate the execution of bioinformatics workflows, taking raw experimental data as input and producing publication-ready results without requiring users to write code, configure pipelines, or engage a dedicated bioinformatician.

The platform is designed for scientists, labs, and biotech teams that want to reduce time spent on data wrangling. Users interact with Novaflow through natural language prompts, describing their experiment or analysis goal, and the system handles workflow selection, execution, and output generation.

Core Workflow

1. Experiment Upload: Users describe their experiment in natural language. No manual pipeline selection or data preparation is required at this stage.
2. Automated Pipeline Execution: Novaflow selects and runs the appropriate workflow based on the experiment type, using reproducible, peer-reviewed methods.
3. Review and Publish: Users receive interactive plots, clean data tables, and fully traceable results suitable for lab meetings, grant reporting, or journal submission.

Features

• Natural Language Interface: Analyses are initiated through conversational prompts. No GUIs, configuration files, or coding are required.
• Pipeline Generation: Validated workflows are auto-generated based on the experiment type, without requiring bioinformatician involvement.
• Data Visualization: Users can request specific figures — including volcano plots and UMAPs — by describing them in plain language. Charts are exportable in high-quality formats.

Supported Pipeline Types

• RNA-seq (bulk and single-cell)
• ATAC-seq (single-cell)
• ChIP-seq
• Methylation analysis
• Variant calling (WGS/WES)
• QC and preprocessing workflows (e.g., FastQC, Trimmomatic)

Pricing Tiers

• Basic (Free): Intended for solo researchers and students. Includes up to 10 prompts per chat, small dataset uploads, natural language prompts, exportable figures, and prebuilt workflows.
• Unlimited (Custom pricing): Designed for academic labs and collaborative teams. Includes unlimited prompts, advanced pipeline access, a shared team dashboard, HPC and cloud upload support, and reproducible logs.
• Enterprise (Custom pricing): Designed for biotech, pharma, and institutional research groups. Includes unlimited users and projects, secure cloud or on-premises setup, custom workflow support, large dataset handling, and access control with audit logs.

Data Handling and Integrations

Novaflow supports file uploads up to 500GB via the web interface. For larger datasets, it integrates with institutional HPC clusters and cloud storage, supporting multi-terabyte transfers. HPC environments can be connected via SSH or custom deployment. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. The platform supports HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, access controls, audit logs, and optional on-premises or private cloud deployments for sensitive research environments.
