Omics-OS Cloud

Managed multi-omics platform powered by Lobster AI - analyze biological data through natural conversation with 13 specialist agents

Omics-OS Cloud

Omics-OS Cloud is a managed bioinformatics platform at app.omics-os.com that lets you analyze multi-omics data through natural conversation with Lobster AI.

Get started free — Sign up at app.omics-os.com and start analyzing with unlimited prompts on the Free tier.

What You Can Do

Talk to Lobster in plain English and it will:

  • Search literature — Find papers on PubMed, extract methods, discover datasets across GEO, SRA, and PRIDE
  • Analyze single-cell data — QC, clustering, differential expression, cell type annotation with Scanpy and scVI
  • Process bulk RNA-seq — Normalization, batch correction, pathway analysis with pyDESeq2
  • Explore proteomics — Parse DDA/DIA mass spec data (MaxQuant, DIA-NN, Spectronaut, Olink), imputation, enrichment
  • Run genomics workflows — VCF parsing, GWAS analysis, variant annotation
  • Perform machine learning — Feature selection, survival analysis, biomarker discovery, multi-omics integration
  • Visualize results — Publication-quality UMAP, heatmaps, volcano plots, violin plots via Plotly

How It Works

  1. You ask — Describe your analysis in natural language
  2. Lobster delegates — The supervisor routes your request to specialist agents
  3. Agents execute — Domain experts run validated bioinformatics tools on your data
  4. Results stream — See results, plots, and insights in real-time via SSE
You: Find scRNA datasets on senescence in human fibroblasts,
     download top 3, run QC, cluster cells, identify cell types

[Supervisor -> Research Agent]

Converting to H5AD format.

[Supervisor -> Transcriptomics Expert]
Running QC: 24,531 cells pass filters.
Clustering: 8 distinct populations identified.
Cell types annotated: Fibroblasts, Immune, Endothelial.

[Supervisor -> Visualization Expert]

Architecture

Omics-OS Cloud runs on AWS with four independent CDK stacks:

ComponentTechnologyPurpose
BackendECS Fargate (ARM64, 16 vCPU, 120GB RAM)FastAPI processing with Lobster AI agents
FrontendS3 + CloudFront + WAFReact UI with assistant-ui framework
License ServiceLambda + API Gateway + DynamoDBStripe billing, Cognito tier management
AuthAWS CognitoJWT-based authentication with tier claims

Streaming: HTTP SSE with DataStreamResponse protocol (not WebSocket). Real-time agent output as it executes.

LLM: Google Gemini 3 Pro (production default). BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) supported for OpenAI, Anthropic, and other providers.

Provenance: Every analysis step is logged with W3C-PROV compliant audit trails, exportable as Jupyter notebooks.

For Developers

Omics-OS Cloud exposes a REST API for programmatic access:

  • Streaming chat: POST /sessions/\{id\}/chat/stream (SSE with DataStreamResponse format)
  • Session management: GET/POST/DELETE /sessions
  • File upload: POST /files/upload (H5AD, CSV, VCF, 10X formats)
  • Modalities: GET /modalities (list loaded datasets)
  • Plots: GET /plots (retrieve generated visualizations)

All endpoints require JWT authentication via AWS Cognito.
