Overview

PipeBio is a cloud platform for analysing BCR, TCR, VHH, scFv and peptide sequences from NGS, hybridoma and Sanger data. It annotates framework and CDR regions against germlines, detects sequence liabilities, clusters clonotypes and compares samples, and stores sequences with metadata in a central database. Workflows and a documented REST API connect it to ELN and LIMS systems.

Best for: Antibody, TCR and peptide discovery teams analysing NGS, hybridoma and Sanger sequence data
Pricing: No prices are shown; the Academic and Commercial plans are both contact-sales, billed as an annual subscription, with startup discounts on request.
Runs on: Web
