Perfect coalescence of coding environment, compute resources, and collaborative space — that’s the modern OS
You've written the perfect workflow or tool, but if your team can't access or run it — you're always on the hook!
Connect experts across your team from any and all domains to directly interact with your data and analysis in a shared environment, purpose-built for collaboration & iteration. Stay focused on the problems you’re aiming to solve, leave the rest to Watershed.
Freedom to write any analysis
Code in the language you know — Python, R, Bash — and use tools you love most.
Easily process your most demanding jobs
Use an intuitive GUI to manage resources in your environment, anytime, instantly.
Effortlessly collaborate on your data & figures
Interrogate and interact with your data through a web-based API.
Finally, a platform made for everyone
Made for developers
We're here to support you, not to replace you. Supercharge yourself with familiar and flexible tools, plus a bioinformatician-designed API that’s there when you need it and not when you don’t.
from watershed import *
from plotnine import ggplot, aes, geom_bar
import polars
genome = load_genome("hg38")
fastqs = load_sequence("cd47_project_fq")
metadata = load_data("metadata")
alignment = star_solo(genome, fastqs)
deg = edgeR(alignment, metadata)
(ggplot(deg.files("sig_results"), aes("Sample", "fold_enrichment")) + geom_bar())
Made for the whole team
It’s easy to make a platform that serves either developers or scientists, but by leaving someone out of the picture, you’ll never have an end-to-end informatics solution. Watershed was purpose-built to bring your entire team into a shared space, with the data and tools you need to make your next big discovery.

Why companies love Watershed
User-first design & features, an extensive expert network, plus exceptional support. See what our clients are saying today:
Watershed gave [biologists and bioinformaticians] at SynDevRx a common language. We can look together at the questions we’re asking of the data while examining the results. This helped us overcome the siloed thinking between biology and informatics endemic to this field.
Pierre Dufour
Principal Data Scientist, SynDevRx
The Watershed platform enables us to get to meaningful biological insights faster and better by providing fully customizable single cell data analysis while facilitating rapid graphical interface creation for biologists to explore the data.
The Visterra Team
