Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a project we’ve been working on called Jetomics (https://jetomics.com). We built it to address the common bottleneck of waiting for expensive server clusters, cloud platforms, or struggling with complex R pipelines for standard bulk RNA-Seq analysis.
It’s a desktop application (Windows) that runs everything locally, no data ever leaves your machine. It uses industry-standard methods (DESeq2, edgeR) and includes integrated ORA and GSEA/Pathway analysis (currently supporting 17 enrichment databases).
We are currently in beta and offering free 90-day renewable licenses. I’d love to get feedback from this community on the local processing performance and the UI/UX for downstream visualization.
Happy to answer any technical questions!

You should talk a little more about how does this whole thing work - since you are offering a Windows program, but the tools you distribute are mostly Unix based.
Absolutely. Jetomics leverages the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) under the hood to run Unix-based tools. On the other hand, R and Python executables, libraries, and packages are also included as assets in the app, and are kept isolated from the user's global R and Python installations.
Curious as to what is the business model for this tool? Are you offering free licenses only for the first 90 days (but then you also said that they are renewable) and then will charge a fee?
Our priority right now is to build the most comprehensive and effective tool possible for the community. We are offering free, renewable 90-day licenses so that we can gather feedback and implement the features you actually need. Eventually, we will transition to a paid model guided by our user-base size and market demand, but for now, we want to ensure the software provides maximum value before we ever ask for a commitment.

It’s a vibe coded app by non-bioinformaticians targeted at people who can’t tell
I appreciate the skepticism. It's healthy in this field. However, to clarify, Jetomics is currently a free tool. There is no 'money grab.' We are focused on refinement and community feedback right now. Regarding the science, we are confident in our approach and invite anyone to stress-test the results against standard pipelines. If you find technical discrepancies, we’d genuinely like to hear them.
In light of this tool running on the host computer and considering the minimal discretionary funding available to graduate students in general, I would recommend some sort of free version for academia instead of a 90-day renewable license.
In general financial support would come from industry, not from academia, especially when the tools themselves have origins in academia and are available as such.
Thank you for your interest! That is actually a great piece of advice. We will definitely kindly consider this.
