  • kraken2

    The second version of the Kraken taxonomic sequence classification system

  • While implementing and scaling data analysis pipelines at a biotech startup, I spent most of my time getting new tools running efficiently and scaling them. Implementing something like Kraken2 for genomic analysis (https://github.com/DerrickWood/kraken2) on our infrastructure took weeks and was hard to scale. I expected a library for running these tools on managed infrastructure via an API to exist – like Twilio for sending text messages or Stripe for processing payments – but I couldn't find any.

    Toolchest is an API for running data analysis tools easily (i.e. copy and paste a few lines of code), without managing the infrastructure. We're starting with computational genomics tools, but tools in other spaces can be added. Please drop me a message if you have a use case in mind! For example, I've thought about making hashcat powered by Tesla V100 GPUs accessible via our API.

    All feedback is welcome! If you're curious about how it works, feel free to check out our docs: https://toolchest-python-client.readthedocs.io/en/latest/use...
