Open source bioinformatics and software infrastructure for science and beyond
Lepista Bioinformatics Lab is a virtual open-source laboratory publishing free tools for bioinformatics and general software development. Our projects range from sequence analysis pipelines and phylogenetic placers to modern API gateways and knowledge graph builders — all designed with quality architecture in mind.
We believe that good software and good science are inseparable. That's why every project here follows solid engineering principles: clean architecture, performance-first design, and clear documentation.
Explore our full portfolio — infrastructure, bioinformatics, knowledge & AI, and cross-cutting projects — on our website:
You can also browse every repository directly here on github.com/LepistaBioinformatics.
We're looking for contributors who are passionate about bioinformatics, open science, or robust software engineering.
Whether you're a biologist who codes, a software engineer curious about life sciences, or just someone who wants to build cool things — you're welcome here.
Here's how you can get involved:
- Report issues — found a bug or have a suggestion? Open an issue in the relevant repository
- Submit pull requests — improvements, fixes, and new features are always welcome
- Improve documentation — clear docs are as valuable as good code
- Start a discussion — have an idea for a new tool or a collaboration? Let's talk
Check our repositories at github.com/LepistaBioinformatics and look for issues tagged good first issue or help wanted to get started.
Science grows when knowledge is shared freely.
