Our goal with PluMA is to facilitate the construction of flexible and lightweight analysis pipelines through which a developer can implement a new algorithm in their programming language of choice, and easily test and debug within a larger pipeline alongside stages in different languages that potentially use different file formats.

PluMA accomplishes this through plugins, and has a large collection available in its plugin pool, implemented in various programming languages for both the CPU and GPU. Plugins can be run sequentially to form a pipeline, and can be easily added, removed or substituted through our user interface. Since plugins are dynamically loaded, you can assemble a pipeline by downloading PluMA and only the plugins that you need from the pool.

Note: Our software should not be confused with the PluMa Plugin Management system, and we have no connections or competing interests with PluMa.
Note: PluMA is now a part of OMICTools! Visit their site for details.
