Choosing A Bioinformatics Services Company – Why Fios Genomics?
Choosing a bioinformatics services company can be tricky. Ideally, you want to work with an experienced provider who has completed a wide range of bioinformatics projects for clients in your industry. Moreover, it is vital to ensure that you will receive the type of report output you expect: not just a simple list of genes that provides no further insight into your research question. To help you make an informed decision, here is what you can expect when you work with Fios Genomics.
Actionable Insights Which Help Answer Your Research Question
All Fios bioinformaticians have a degree in biology. And this biological background means that they understand your data and are able to pull meaningful insights from it. The output of the bioinformatics projects we work on goes beyond generating gene lists. We believe a bioinformatics services company should do more than that. Therefore, our bioinformaticians will perform network and pathway analysis before going on to clustering and confounding factor analysis. We do this so you can understand the driving factors behind the biological results of the pathway analysis. We uncover as much actionable insight as possible from your data to provide a robust outcome for your research question.
Once we have fully analysed your data we produce an in-depth report. All Fios reports are interactive so you can delve even further into your data. For example, hovering over a volcano plot depicting certain differences between samples will allow you to zoom in on each individual sample name.
Additionally, all reports are edited by our scientific writers to ensure they are jargon-free and easily understood.
However, our work is not complete when we generate the report and provide you with it. We will talk it through with you to ensure you fully understand the results and what they mean for your research.

Quick Turnaround Times
Bioinformatics projects at Fios each have a dedicated project manager. Our project managers ensure that deadlines are met, keep you updated on project progress, and act as a single point of contact for any enquiries you may have. Thanks to the meticulous organisation of our project managers, we pride ourselves on providing quality work with the quickest turnaround times in the industry.
An Experienced Bioinformatics Services Company
With over 1000 projects completed, we have experience across a full range of bioinformatics projects. We have worked with data generated from small projects with just 5 mouse models, through to 2000 person clinical trials. Our clients span from single academics to some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, and everything in between. From experience, we understand that every data set and research question is different. This is why we perform bespoke analysis each time.
Flexibility
It’s important that the bioinformatics service company you choose to work with is compatible with your internal processes. We know that what works for one client may not be best for another one, so we provide a range of ways to work with us. Some clients prefer to work from a contract, while others require an MSA. Other clients may find that their internal processes mean that it is quicker to purchase services via platforms like Scientist.com or Science Exchange. Fortunately, Fios is fully prepared for all of these options so, whatever works best for you, works for us.
Similarly, we appreciate that when it comes to costing models for bioinformatics projects – one size does not fit all. That is why we provide a Fixed Cost model, FTE model and Hybrid model. If you are not sure which model would best suit your project please contact us and we would be happy to discuss the options with you. Alternatively, here is more information about our costing models.
