Frequently Asked Questions

The aim of our multi-omics toolbox platform is to empower researchers with a comprehensive suite of tools and resources for performing advanced multi-omics analysis. By integrating various ‘omics’ data sets, including genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, our platform aims to facilitate a holistic understanding of biological systems and unravel complex biological processes. Whether you are exploring complex diseases, studying molecular pathways, or investigating biomarkers, our multi-omics toolbox platform aims to provide the necessary tools and resources (SOPs and protocols, guidelines for best practices, reference materials, quality parameters, data analysis tools, criteria for reference values, troubleshooting guidelines, multi-omics data repositories, and examples and use cases) to accelerate your research and drive scientific discoveries. We are committed to advancing the field of multi-omics research by providing a robust and versatile platform that meets the evolving needs of the scientific community.

Our platform is specifically designed to streamline and optimise your research workflow, ultimately saving you valuable time and resources by making it easier to find and use datasets, protocols, workflows, and other resources for multi-omics analysis, assuring the quality in your approaches.

We have included resources related to Genomics, Epigenomics, Transcriptomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics. SOPs and protocols for performing the -omics techniques, as well as guidelines and pipeline for data analysis and integration.

This is work in progress. Our goal is to ensure that you have the resources and guidance necessary to navigate our platform seamlessly. We are committed to empowering you with the knowledge and support needed to utilise the tools effectively and maximise the value of your research.

Our platform offers a range of validated methods that have been widely used and accepted within the scientific community. The methods and content have been delivered by experts in each category, supported also by own peer-review publications, assuring the reliability and the accuracy of those methods.

By utilising our platform’s comprehensive toolset, efficient data integration, advanced analysis algorithms, interactive visualisations, and time-saving features, you can optimise your research process, enhance your scientific insights, and make significant strides in your research goals.

Yes, our platform places a strong emphasis on standardisation and best practices in line with the scientific community. We refer to established guidelines and protocols for data processing, analysis, and interpretation. By following these standards, we ensure consistency, reproducibility, and comparability of results.

Our platform incorporates validated methods and algorithms that have been widely accepted and endorsed by the scientific community. While we strive to observe standardisation and provide detailed documentation and guidelines, we acknowledge that our current approach may not encompass international consensus or internationally validated practices found in large consortiums. We value feedback from researchers and consortiums working in this field and are committed to incorporating their insights to further enhance the platform’s adherence to internationally recognised practices. Our aim is to provide a robust and reliable resource that researchers, including those in large consortiums, can utilise with confidence. Through our commitment to standardisation, we aim to promote rigorous scientific practices, facilitate collaboration, and contribute to the advancement of the field.

Our platform facilitates fast translation of research findings by making it easier for researcher to find tools, and resources relevant for multi-omics research through a user-friendly interface. By providing streamlined workflows and comprehensive analysis capabilities, researchers can quickly analyse and interpret multi-omics data. The platform’s interactive visualizations aid in distilling complex findings into easily understandable formats, enabling efficient communication of research outcomes. With its user-friendly interface, researchers can swiftly navigate the platform, saving time in accessing and using the tools. These features collectively support the rapid translation of research findings, empowering researchers to disseminate their discoveries effectively.
