The Next Generation
of NGS Data Analysis

Traditional NGS Data Analysis platforms are painfully slow and cumbersome to use. They require command line programming to create and edit workflows, take days or even weeks to analyze pipelines, and present results in a tabular format that often requires yet more programming to decipher.

 

BioDT does away with all of these limitations, and adds several additional, previously unavailable capabilities such as genomic data visualization. All in an open source platform.

Genomic Data Visualization

  • An end to tabular results. Tabular results, which is the norm for bioinformatics analysis platforms, are difficult and time-consuming to interpret. Often, additional programs must be written purely to analyze the results of the analysis just performed!
  • Rapid results interpretation. When results can be visualized through graphs and charts, when researchers have the ability to zoom in on—and isolate portions of—results, and when poor quality samples and mutations are visually highlighted, results interpretation is greatly accelerated. This is what BioDT brings to the table.

Drag and Drop Interface

  • No more Command Line programming. The normal GUI for bioinformatics analysis platforms is Command Line programming. This is a dated and cumbersome way to create and manipulate tools and workflows. It also requires a significant degree of specialized expertise, which many researchers don’t possess.
  • Powerful yet intuitive interface. BioDT’s drag-and-drop user interface allows researchers and bioinformaticians to quickly and intuitively manipulate tools to create workflows, and to edit existing workflows.No special expertise is required.
  • Accelerates insights. BioDT makes getting from theory or query to executing an analysis far more rapid.

Accelerated Analysis

  • An end to lengthy waits. The execution speed of NGS data analysis directly impacts the speed at which research findings or, to take one example, new treatments become available. Currently, analysis of a complex workflow can take days or even weeks.
  • Up to 100x faster. Through the use of advanced processing and database management techniques, BioDT performs analyses up to 100x faster than other platforms. The software even displays the progress of an analysis in process.
  • Faster uploads, too. BioDT even accelerates the transfer of data from the lab into the cloud, when such transfers are called for.

Open Platform

  • Abolishes closed source restrictions. Closed source NGS data analysis platforms relegate their users to the library of proprietary tools created by the vendor. There is no provision for users to add or modify tools unless the vendor agrees to—and participates in—such development.
  • Flexibility. In contrast, BioDT, which is available in both a free Community version as well as fully-supported and more highly-featured Pro and SaaS versions, is open source. This means that, regardless of the version in use, researchers have the ability to utilize, add to, or modify workflows in ever expanding public open source libraries.
  • Comprehensive. BioDT already supports over 250 open source tools, including the entire Galaxy library.

Real-Time Collaboration

compatibility image
  • An end to “sneaker-net”. In the world of bioinformatics, collaboration has historically been impractical or has taken the form of “sneaker-net”. This fact has contributed to the often lengthy time it takes to go from raw data to final results and insights.
  • Collaborate with far flung colleagues. BioDT ushers in a new era of collaborative research. The platform enables multiple, geographically dispersed researchers to work together on a workflow or analysis in real time. Further, researchers can more easily and quickly collaborate with remote bioinformaticians. All that is required of each user is a BioDT account, a browser, and the appropriate level of permissions.
  • Instant, real-time updates. BioDT’s real-time collaboration works in much the same way as Google Docs: each collaborator sees what the other is doing as it is being done. BioDT also maintains a history of all changes and who made them, and has the ability to undo changes.

Private or Public Cloud

compatibility image
  • Which cloud is for you? Several NGS data analysis platforms are available only as a public cloud-based offering or as an enterprise license. Public cloud-based offerings are typically not cost-effective for large organizations, and may not meet applicable security standards. On the other hand, enterprise license-based offerings tend to be overly expensive for individuals.
  • Public cloud version. BioDT offers both options. A public cloud-based version, in which users pay only for what they use, is cost-effective for individual researchers and small labs.
  • Private cloud version. Private cloud version. For large corporations, or those who have more stringent security requirements, BioDT can be installed behind a firewall on a private cloud.
