Bioinformatics Data Analysis

Offering a variety of analyses.
Our Process
Consultations

We offer an initial, free pre-analysis consultation to discuss the types of analysis and support bioinformatics can provide, in addition to assisting with experimental design to best answer the biological question(s) of interest.

Analysis

We provide analysis of high-throughput sequencing data, including RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, and Exome-Seq, as well as other high throughput data. We generate detailed project plans to outline analysis, implement reproducible workflows, generate visualizations of complex data, and assist data uploads to public repositories.

Follow Up Meeting

Following the delivery of results, we meet with researchers (faculty, staff, post-docs and graduate students) to answer follow-up questions.

Bulk RNA-Seq Analyses
Type of Experiment Type of Analysis
  • Bulk RNA-Seq (polyA or total RNA)
  • Small RNA-Seq (e.g. microRNA)
  • Differential expression analysis
  • Summary figures
  • Functional enrichments – KEGG, GO terms, etc.
