Open Genomics for Everyone
Track your projects. Share your protocols. Manage your data. Whether you're a student, citizen scientist, or running a research facility — Libre Biotech gives you professional-grade tools without the price tag.
Open source (AGPL-3.0). Free to use. Your data stays yours.
Organised from Day One
Your samples, experiments, and results are structured and searchable — not scattered across spreadsheets, notebooks, and email threads.
Know Where Every Result Came From
Every step is recorded — from sample collection through analysis. Trace any result back to its source in seconds.
Share and Collaborate
Publish protocols, share projects, and work with your team or the wider community — all in one place.
What You Can Do
Manage Projects and Samples
Organise your research into projects, track samples from collection to analysis, and add structured metadata that makes your data findable and reusable.
Run Analysis Pipelines
Submit sequencing data to automated workflows and get results back — with every parameter, tool version, and output file recorded for reproducibility.
Trace Any Result Back to Its Source
Answering "where did this data come from?" takes seconds, not hours. Complete audit trail from sample collection through library prep, sequencing, and analysis.
Check Sequencing Quality
Built-in dashboards for Illumina, Oxford Nanopore, and PacBio. See yield, quality scores, and trends so you catch problems before wasting time on bad data.
Build on Proven Methods
Browse step-by-step protocols, adapt them for your own work, and share improvements back to the community. Find what works — don't reinvent it.
Explore Genomes Visually
Built-in genome browser with custom tracks for coverage, gene models, and more. Go from a pipeline result to a visual view of your data in one click.
