What is CellRepo?

CellRepo is a scientific data and construct versioning platform designed to bring modern traceability and reproducibility into the lab. Inspired by the principles of Git, it tracks every change in your biological records—whether you're engineering strains, annotating omics data, or managing experimental protocols—ensuring full transparency, scientific integrity, and collaboration across teams.

Science Demands History You Can Trust

  • Every change is logged as a new commit—no overwriting.
  • Full edit trail with timestamps, authorship, and metadata
  • Immutable records protect reproducibility and compliance.
  • Works like software version control, but purpose-built for bio

Key Features

Short discerption about key features

Git-Style Versioning for Biology

Every update—no matter how small—creates a new commit. No more lost changes or overwritten data.

Fully Customisable Commit Templates

Define your own fields, workflows, and structure. Templates evolve with your science.

Commit Records and Diffs

Field-by-field diffs, audit logs, and metadata snapshots for every version.

Genosignatures and DNA Barcodes

Encode commits metadata directly into constructs for built-in provenance, even in physical samples.

Branches & Forks

Explore alternate designs, document divergent workflows, or manage regulatory vs. research versions.

Immutable by Design

Commits can't be edited—ensuring an unbroken, tamper-evident chain of scientific custody.

Simple Concepts, Powerful Outcomes

Organise, track and manage your biology research with precision

Projects

Allow you to organise and manage scientific workspaces with ease. You can share access with a group of collaborators, including users from outside your organisation, enabling seamless teamwork. Create repositories and use commit templates to standardise contributions and maintain consistency across your work.

Repositories

Help you track the complete versioned history of a single strain, construct, or workflow. You can review your co-workers' work through detailed version history, create new commits to add your data, and use branches to build upon any previous commit, enabling structured and collaborative development.

Commits

Immutable snapshots of biological records that preserve every stage of your work. Using dynamic templates, multiple users can contribute to the same structure with consistency. Each commit retains a complete history, allowing you to compare changes and track data evolution over time.

Templates

Allows you to define the structure and metadata required for your biological records. You can create branches to introduce flexibility and adapt templates to evolving needs. With dynamic templates, you can store data consistently while tracking its complete history over time.

Branches

Enable parallel exploration and documentation, allowing multiple users to work on different versions of data simultaneously—just like Git branches. This setup supports seamless collaboration and experimentation. You can also merge data between branches to streamline updates and maintain a unified record.

Examples Across Domains:

  • Academic research tracking strain libraries
  • Industrial bioengineering pipelines
  • Teaching labs capturing student experiments
  • Multi-site consortia sharing interoperable designs
  • Regulatory documentation and audit trails

DNA-Embedded Proof of History

Genosignatures are DNA barcodes generated by CellRepo that embed metadata—like strain name, resistance marker, and commit ID—directly into your biological construct. This links the physical sample to its full digital history, enabling traceability even after storage or sharing. The signature ensures the record is tamper-evident and verifiable, allowing collaborators or regulators to independently confirm a construct’s provenance by sequencing the barcode.

Why Choose CellRepo?

  • Reproducibility you can trust
  • Customisation without compromise
  • Easy collaboration, structured records
  • Ready for regulators and futureproofed
