Lamin
Open data lakehouse for biology, context and memory at scale
Lamin is an open-source data platform designed for biology research teams, providing a lineage-native lakehouse that supports biological file formats, registries, and ontologies. It enables tracked data management across infrastructure by letting users query, trace, and validate datasets and models with a single line of code. The platform integrates with relational metadata stores and supports major cloud providers while maintaining zero vendor lock-in.
Lamin wraps storage (S3, GCP, Azure) and databases (Postgres, SQLite) with a lineage-tracking layer and Python/R API that records data provenance, enforces schemas, and maps assets into a queryable lakehouse supporting bio-formats like AnnData and Zarr.
