BaseCamp --- An Agentic AI Framework for Automating DNA Sequencing Data Pipelines

BaseCamp is an agentic AI framework that automates the decision layer of DNA sequencing pipelines by deploying six specialized AI agents for tasks such as sample intake, quality control, alignment, variant calling, annotation, cross‑stage monitoring, and reporting. The agents rely on established bioinformatics tools for actual sequence analysis, while using fine‑tuned, domain‑specialized large language models to select, configure, and interpret these tools’ outputs, ensuring reproducibility and local data privacy. Evaluation demonstrates that the agents’ configurations align with expert practice, provide an explicit filtering ledger for traceability, and detect anomalies that traditional monitoring may miss.
