Get Instant Gratification

Currently genetic data analysis usually takes days or months to complete, due to the large amount of manual work such as scripting, data cleaning, and learning how to use additional tools. Furthermore, it usually has to be handled by informatics experts such as bioinformaticians and biostatisticians. Every researcher would appreciate the chance to take a first look at their data and conduct some straightforward analysis before handing it over to experts for advanced analysis. That is exactly why BioIDE was built.

BioIDE delivers instant gratification to researchers because it provides a simple three-step operation, as shown below, to give researchers the results they want without requiring any informatics expertise:

  • Load a dataset (time taken: seconds or minutes depending on data size)
  • Drag a pre-loaded workflow with the mouse to the loaded dataset and run it (time taken: seconds or minutes or hours, depending on the amount of data and the analytical tools used in the workflow)
  • View results with as many visualization widgets as you like (time taken: instantaneous)

Why is it so fast? It is fast with BioIDE because (1) it completely eliminates manual data processing steps and (2) it allows a researcher to take advantage of workflows developed by experts so that no time is spent on figuring out which analytical tools to use and which parameter values to apply.


Furthermore, BioIDE utilizes an efficient memory management scheme so that a researcher can analyze gigabytes of data on his/her laptop!
