Operon is a cross-platform desktop application that brings together an AI coding assistant (Claude), integrated terminal, code editor, file browser, and remote-server access into a single tool designed for computational biologists. Whether you're running RNA-seq pipelines on an HPC cluster from your Windows laptop, analyzing single-cell data on a Linux workstation, or writing scripts on a Mac, Operon gives you a professional development environment with AI that understands your domain.
