One of the key challenges for transcriptomics-based research is not only the processing of large data but also modeling the complexity of features that are sources of variation across samples, which is required for an accurate statistical analysis. Therefore, our goal is to foster access for wet lab researchers to bioinformatics tools, in order to enhance their ability to explore biological aspects and validate hypotheses with robust analysis. In this context, user-friendly interfaces can enable researchers to apply computational biology methods without requiring bioinformatics expertise. Such bespoke platforms can improve the quality of the findings by allowing the researcher to …

The advantages that new technological advancements in genomics and bioinformatics provide are numerous and varied. The advent of new technologies provides faster sequencing throughput, making the opportunity available to allow for the sequencing of an entire genome to be completed in twenty-four hours. The input of sequencing data and information into large databases distributes it across the world and provides the ability for comparisons between genes, gene products, mutations, and comparisons between species. The fact that these databases can be accessed instantly will help further catalyze not only developments in genomics but also in the medical field.
