# Lineage Graph An immutable record of how Result Data are generated within Code Ocean, showing source data, processing steps through Capsules and Pipelines, and Result Data output. ## Key capabilities ### Create an immutable record of every result All computational work is tracked in Git, creating an immutable record of all work done and the results produced. Click into any Result to access and view key details at a glance. ### See and explore full result provenance Gain access to the entire story of how your Result was produced—enter any node and get to the exact version and Git commit of a Capsule or Pipeline that generated every single result. ### Assess reproducibility for all Result Data The Lineage Graph assesses the reproducibility of any given Result. Reproducibility can be guaranteed when Capsules and Pipelines are versioned, and when Data are kept internally on the platform. ## How the Lineage Graph works with the rest of the Code Ocean platform Track computational work done in Compute Capsules Compute Capsules record all computational work performed within them. Results generated are automatically recorded, along with the input Data used to create them. Track the output of bioinformatics pipelines Pipelines can incorporate output from multiple different Compute Capsules, Data sources, and other Pipelines. This is all tracked by the Lineage Graph. Track source data used in the generation of results Code Ocean tracks all Data used in computational work. Data and Results can be accessed through the Data dashboard, allowing you to keep track of what data was used where and when. ## Frequently asked questions ### Lineage Graph Can you always guarantee reproducibility? Yes, if all source [data](/content/product/data/index.html) has been imported and made immutable. If you’ve used an external data source that is subject to change, reproducibility cannot be guaranteed. Can you click into each node to see details? Yes. You can interact with every node on the Lineage Graph. Click on any asset that you have access to and explore the full details of which version was run, when it was run, and who by. Can we use this to connect to an external lineage tool? Yes, using our [API](/content/product/api/index.html), you could connect to your own instance of an open-source tool, e.g. [OpenLineage](https://openlineage.io/). ## Built for Computational Science - Data analysis ### Data analysis Use ready-made template Compute Capsules to analyze your data, develop your data analysis workflow in your preferred language and IDE using any open-source software, and take advantage of built-in containerization to guarantee reproducibility. - Data management ### Data management Manage your organization's data and control who has access to it. Built specifically to meet all FAIR principles, data management in Code Ocean uses custom metadata and controlled vocabularies to ensure consistency and improve searchability. - Bioinformatics pipelines ### Bioinformatics pipelines Build, configure and monitor bioinformatics pipelines from scratch using a visual builder for easy set-up. Or, import from nf-core in one click for instant access to a curated set of best practice analysis pipelines. Runs on AWS Batch out-of-the-box, so your pipelines scale automatically. No setup needed. - ML models ### ML model development Code Ocean is uniquely suited for Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Generative AI. Install GPU-ready environments and provision GPU resources in a few clicks. Integration with MLFlow allows you to develop models, track parameters, manage models from development to production, while enjoying out-of-the-box reproducibility and lineage. - Multiomics ### Multiomics Analyze and work with large multimodal datasets efficiently using scalable compute and storage resources, cached packages for R and Python, preloaded multiomics analysis software that works out of the box and full lineage and reproducibility. - Imaging ### Imaging Process images using a variety of tools: from dedicated desktop applications to custom-written deep learning pipelines, from a few individual files to petabyte-sized datasets. No DevOps required, always with lineage. - Cloud management ### Cloud management Code Ocean makes it easy to manage data and provision compute: CPUs, GPUs, and RAM. Assign flex machines and dedicated machines to manage what is available to your users. Spot instances, idleness detection, and automated shutdown help reduce cloud costs. - Data/model provenance ### Data/model provenance Keep track of all data and results with automated result provenance and lineage graph generation. Assess reproducibility with a visual representation of every Capsule, Pipeline, and Data asset involved in a computation.
