Introduction

One platform, built for genomics data

The Bento platform has been created as a reusable solution to address these common needs. It aims to follow as closely as possible international data standards, such as those within GA4GH, to unlock the potential of sharing data alongside other initiatives.

A recurrent need for projects in genomics revolves around the implementation, deployment and maintenance of a platform to organize their datasets. The requirements are essentially the same: standardize, ingest, allow querying and retrieval of clinical, experiments and multi-omics data.

A Bento platform node is composed of many services that each accomplish a specific task. Some components can be brought in, or left out, depending on the needs of the project leveraging it.
