What is spcfy? The shared infrastructure for DNA metabarcoding data.
spcfy is your unified environment for processing, comparing and sharing DNA metabarcoding results. Our platform is built in subscription-based stages that grow with your needs.
Covering CO1, 16S, ITS2, 12S, PITS2. Animals, plants, fungi, bacteria.
Independently benchmarked. In a new preprint, scientists at the Centre for Biodiversity Genomics benchmarked leading COI metabarcoding pipelines against a ground-truth dataset of more than 11,000 individually DNA-barcoded specimens, and highlighted spcfy for particularly accurate β-diversity estimates and as fast and user-friendly.
Read the preprint →Developing features for your needs.
Each stage adds clearly defined capabilities on top of the last, while keeping the same data standards, QC context, and metadata. Start with the data foundation, add analytical depth as your needs grow.
Integration of labs and real-time quality scores.
The foundation layer: a harmonized, cloud-based pipeline that turns Illumina FASTQ files into standardized, shareable outputs.
Cross-project comparisons and interactive visualization.
The analytical layer on top of BASE: merge orders into Projects, explore OTUs interactively, and compare across time and space.
Predictive layers and Nature KPIs, built on top of INSIGHT.
Model-driven inference for risk scoring and scenario tools, so decisions can be made proactively.
A natural-language interface for your biodiversity data.
Ask questions in plain language, explore results, and act on the patterns spcfy surfaces.
One infrastructure for shared biodiversity data.
spcfy connects the people who generate biodiversity data with those who use it. Every project runs on the same standardized, transparent infrastructure, so results stay comparable across labs, projects and time.
Ready to make your biodiversity data comparable?
From field sample to biodiversity signal, in hours. Built on infrastructure made for this volume and complexity.
