LaminDB

Overview

LaminDB is an open-source data framework for biology designed to make data queryable, traceable, reproducible, and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). It provides a unified platform that combines lakehouse architecture, lineage tracking, feature stores, biological ontologies, LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System), and ELN (Electronic Lab Notebook) capabilities through a single Python API.

Core Value Proposition:

• Queryability: Search and filter datasets by metadata, features, and ontology terms
• Traceability: Automatic lineage tracking from raw data through analysis to results
• Reproducibility: Version control for data, code, and environment
• FAIR Compliance: Standardized annotations using biological ontologies
