Partek Flow

Partek Flow is a specialized bioinformatics platform designed to democratize high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data analysis by providing a high-performance, browser-based graphical user interface. As of 2026, its technical architecture has evolved to leverage hybrid-cloud scalability, allowing researchers to seamlessly transition between local high-performance computing (HPC) clusters and AWS/Azure/GCP environments. The platform is optimized for multi-omic integration, specifically focusing on the intersection of single-cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and spatial transcriptomics. Unlike command-line-heavy alternatives, Partek Flow employs a 'point-and-click' pipeline builder that captures metadata and ensures complete reproducibility through its internal database schema. Its market position is solidified as a bridge between wet-lab biologists and bioinformaticians, offering pre-built pipelines for alignment, quantification, and statistical analysis (including DESeq2 and Limma integrations). The 2026 version introduces advanced AI-driven cell-type annotation and automated batch-effect correction modules, significantly reducing the bottleneck in large-scale longitudinal clinical studies and drug discovery workflows.
