Why Custom Bioinformatics Analysis Might Be Right For Your Research
More companies are moving towards custom bioinformatics analysis for their research – and for good reason.
Often, the choice falls on online platforms or software. However, despite having a quick turnaround, these tools need data to be in a certain format or have limitations in data size. Non-specialised software may also be specific to a research area, meaning that data generated during clinical oncology research needs a different platform to preclinical experiments.
When opting for custom bioinformatics analysis, you can have access to a wide range of bioinformatics analysis services, tailored to research areas and data types. These solutions are generally platform-agnostic and can turn your generated data into useful, relevant, and actionable information.
What are the benefits of custom bioinformatics analysis?
The benefits of custom analysis cannot be overstated. The ‘one size fits all’ approach rarely works with real-world data. Even the most tightly controlled experiments, in all phases of research and development, produce messy – real – results. Using an off-the-shelf programme removes the nuances from the data you produce, which could hold vital information for your research.
By building pipelines dedicated to analysing your specific research question, not only it is possible to take into account all the information gleaned during your studies, but you are also able to dive deeper and ask probing questions about the results. Rather than restricting the analysis output to narrow conclusions such as “gene X is overexpressed with drug A”, bespoke bioinformatics analysis can give you deeper and more meaningful outputs, explaining why gene X is important, or perhaps provide reasons that drug A causes a specific biological outcome.
A good bespoke bioinformatics analysis should allow going beyond tables of gene lists or more data. It is the biological interpretation that matters and allows for making the most out of the whole bioinformatics analysis process.
You should always pick an analysis service that delivers a jargon-free approach, with a heavy emphasis on the biological nature of your work, as that allows you to make the most of the bioinformatics data analysis report you receive. Receiving actionable information to take away and use in future research, not only frees up your time, it also ensures that you do not have more work to be done after the analysis stage.
