Bioinformatics analyses have become increasingly complex as advanced research technologies generate vast and intricate datasets. By providing Bioinformatics Assistance as a service, we aim to bolster scientific rigour and increase efficiency.
We offer various bioinformatics services, including but not limited to the overview below.
Data Analysis
- Comprehensive Support: Expert assistance for various analyses, including genomics and transcriptomics.
- Flexible Engagement: Data processing, pipeline customization and interpretation, as well as second opinions on analyses and pipelines.
Experiment Design Optimization & Preliminary Data Discovery
- Early-Stage Guidance: Consult on incorporating bioinformatics considerations and potential pitfalls from the outset, e.g., appropriate sample sizes, sequencing depths, and controls.
- Data Mining: Identify and leverage relevant datasets in public databases, allowing researchers to refine hypotheses, test feasibility, and strengthen study design.
Grant Application Support
- Technical Clarity: Assist in detailing bioinformatics methods and justifications for proposals.
- Feasibility Assessments: Provide feedback on methodological soundness, data requirements, and analytical pipelines.
Services are provided on a cost-recovery basis.
