Executive Summary: PrimeOmicX is an independent computational biology practice closing the gap between data generation and deployed intelligence. Backed by 9 years of omics research and pipeline engineering at NIH/NIAID, Emory University, and the CDC National Wastewater Surveillance System, we provide single-expert accountability across reproducible pipelines, clinical variant agents, and private on-device language models.
§ 01 · Practice Areas & Capabilities
Omics Analysis
01From raw data to publication-ready figures, with the methods, code and environment needed to reproduce them.
Pipeline Engineering
02Production-grade Nextflow, Snakemake and WDL workflows that run the same on a laptop, a SLURM cluster and the cloud.
Agentic RAG Systems
03Question answering over your papers, protocols, LIMS and results, grounded in citations and deployable on-prem.
AI Agents
04Tool-using agents that run analyses, triage QC failures, draft reports and file the paperwork, with humans in the loop.
On-device AI Models
05Small language models, around 3B parameters, fine-tuned on your domain and running on Apple Silicon. No data leaves the machine.
Codaris (Nextflow Workbench)
ToolProprietary deterministic Nextflow DSL2 / nf-core engineering environment with automated module resolution, lint loops, and container testing.
