Over the years, our bioinformaticians have built a reputation for Fios Genomics as bioinformatics experts. As a leading bioinformatics provider, we always do our best to deliver quality analyses to help clients answer their research questions. In turn, this has led to clients not only coming back for repeat business, but returning to us with more and more complex projects. So, what is it about Fios Genomics that makes us particularly well-suited to complex projects?
Our Bioinformatics Experts
The main reason we are great at delivering complex bioinformatics projects is due to our bioinformatics experts. We recruit bioinformaticians who have a real passion for bioinformatics and who also love contributing to scientific advancement. Learn more about what makes our team the best at what they do, below.
Biological Knowledge
Most of our bioinformaticians have undergraduate degrees in biological fields as well as advanced degrees or extensive experience in bioinformatics. This biological knowledge allows them to fully understand and appreciate your research goal, as well as confidently advise on the type of analyses that will be best to answer your research question. Also, their biological knowledge enables them to add context to the bioinformatics analyses and pinpoint the insights that are relevant to your research.
What’s more, our team is knowledgeable about a vast range of scientific research areas. Our bioinformaticians come from various research backgrounds and include analysts with expertise in everything from autoimmune diseases to virology, as well as everything in between. In addition, Fios Genomics is committed to learning and development, so our bioinformaticians get plenty of opportunities to work together and share their expertise, continually upskilling the team as a whole. Who better to handle a complex bioinformatics project than a team full of bioinformatics experts?
Scientific Curiosity
With a wealth of biological knowledge and a passion for science, it is no surprise that our team is scientifically curious. This curiosity drives us, pushing us to look for additional clues in your data. We are very proud that the work we do every day contributes to scientific advancement. Our bioinformaticians have a genuine interest in your research, and how they can help you advance it through their analyses. We want to find the answers in your data as much as you do! For the satisfaction of making the connection and finding the answer, for the feeling of having pride in our work, and for the ultimate reward of contributing to science!
Our Processes and Ethos as Bioinformatics Experts
As a business with a commitment to excellent customer service, we strive to deliver the highest quality of work possible. Delivering high-quality work maintains and strengthens our reputation as bioinformatics experts. To help us do this, we have a formal quality system in place with SOPs and review processes that underpin all of the work we do, ensuring our analyses are always of the highest quality. You can learn about these below.
Experimental Design Support
We train our team to be meticulous about experimental design. This means that when we are involved at the early stage of an experiment or trial, we can advise on experimental design and data generation strategy to ensure the key aim of the project is addressed and quality data is gathered for analysis.
Attention to Metadata
No matter what stage of a project they are analysing data from, our bioinformaticians always pay close attention to the data’s metadata. We use metadata to fully understand your biological data’s context. For instance, knowing its source, how it was generated and the experimental conditions it was generated under, as well as additional information about things like time points and treatments, gives us a deeper understanding of the data. This enables us to deliver an in-depth data analysis, highlighting the findings that are most relevant to your research goal.
Your Research Goal is our Focus
Your research goal is always top of mind for our bioinformaticians, driving their analyses. This focus on your research goal ensures that even the most subtle insights in your data are properly investigated to discover what they mean to your research.
Pathway Analysis as Standard
Another of our processes which has helped us gain a reputation as bioinformatics experts is that we perform pathway analysis as standard. This means we analyse and interpret biological pathways to understand interactions between genes, proteins, metabolites, and other molecules. Such analysis allows us to reveal further insights from your data to advance your research. For example, a change in a biological pathway may be due to a certain disease or biological process or may help elucidate the mechanism of action of your compound.
Our Experience
Expertise and experience go hand in hand, and we have plenty of experience backing up our reputation as bioinformatics experts. In fact, combined, our team has over 200 years of experience analysing and integrating biological data sets for a plethora of purposes. So, we have learned a lot of lessons that only experience can teach. During over 1000 projects completed for clients, we have become familiar with the pitfalls related to different data types and how to overcome them. We can tell when a biomarker is truly relevant to your research, and when it is a red herring leading you down a false path, because we have explored that path before.
Data Analysis Reports from Bioinformatics Experts
You don’t develop a reputation for bioinformatics expertise by delivering poor-quality analysis reports. At Fios Genomics, we use our industry-leading reporting infrastructure. This means that all of our reports are interactive and searchable, allowing you to fully explore your data analysis results. You can see an example of the interactivity of our reports below:
Each of our reports is hosted on our secure server and is accessible via a password-protected HTML link. What’s more, our reports act as a repository, for both your raw and processed data and analysis results. These are just some reasons why clients regularly tell us how happy they are with our data analysis reports. You can see what else clients say about our data analysis reports on our clients and partners page.
