# What is iMaps?

iMaps is a unique analysis platform and database for high-throughput sequencing data. Currently analysis of iCLIP data is supported, but this will be extended to other sequencing types in the very near future. On the front-end we provide a user friendly interface to enable code-free analysis of your data. On the back-end the pipelines are open source and written in Nextflow DSL2, so you can know exactly what is happening to your data.

If you have any questions that aren't addressed in this documentation please let us know in our [iMaps Slack Workspace](https://join.slack.com/t/imapsgroup/shared_invite/zt-r24y3591-Xbhnym2t38u_urU~I0K0lQ). Additionally, we appreciate all comments and feedback.
