We recently developed a cloud-based version of our Omics Playground platform for the analysis of human and mouse transcriptomics and proteomics datasets.
The exponential increase in omics dataset generation creates a downstream bottleneck due to the increasing requirements for more advanced analysis approaches. Those are often beyond the reach of biologists without any formal training in programming.
With our platform we want to make the advanced analysis of transcriptomics (including scRNA-seq) and proteomics datasets faster and more accessible to researchers through a user-friendly GUI that does not require any coding experience.
Compared to the published version, we implemented new modules and pre-loaded 5865 public datasets. We have also included 200 datasets in a separate version dedicated to viral infections, with a particular emphasis on coronaviruses.
The free online versions are accessible upon registration from any browser at:
https://public.bigomics.ch/
Users can analyse any of the pre-loaded datasets or upload and analyse their own datasets with a maximum limit of 20 samples and 5 comparisons.
We do welcome feedback on the platform through our website (https://bigomics.ch/) or through our google group linked in the platform itself.

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM
