Cyanea is an open-source, federated platform for life science R&D. Store, version, and share datasets, protocols, notebooks, and pipelines. Self-hostable, federation-ready, with a Rust-powered compute layer that runs natively and in the browser via WASM.
- Cyanea Platform — Elixir/Phoenix web application with interactive notebooks (dual WASM + server execution), REST API, CLI tool, real-time collaboration, and a full billing system. SQLite or PostgreSQL.
- Cyanea Labs — 15 Rust crates covering sequences, alignment, omics, statistics, ML, chemistry, structural biology, phylogenetics, metagenomics, epigenomics, GPU compute, file I/O, WASM bindings, and Python bindings. 3,700+ tests.

Named after Cyanea, a genus of jellyfish. Among jellyfish are the only known organisms capable of biological immortality. The quest for eternal life is as old as humanity itself, and the life sciences are its most promising modern pursuit.
