Xia Lab - Translation

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It has been such a pleasure to serve you over the past decades. I started my bioinformatics journey about 15 years ago, and soon realized that for most data analysis tasks, many excellent methods and algorithms exist. However, properly using them requires substantial statistical knowledge and computer programming - skills that could take years to master by very few experts (elite analytics), and are uninteresting or even distracting to many in life sciences. We felt strongly that omics data analysis should be unintimidating, pleasant and inspiring to the majority who design their experiments and generate their data.

Analytics 1.0

Manual Effort

Data→Expert→Code→Result

The web and cloud technologies have played major roles to make data analytics accessible to broad audience. Leveraging these technologies, we have implemented a series of tools integrating visualization and statistics (visual analytics) to lower the barriers to omics data analysis. These tools have been used by ~1 million researchers worldwide. However, long-term sustainabilities and supporting advanced needs have become our growing concerns due to the inherent instability of funding and personnel as an academic lab.

Analytics 2.0

Cloud + Web

Data → Tool → Result

We are at the dawn of revolution on data analytics. The generative AI technologies allow us to chat with our data (conversational analytics). An AI assistant, grounded on our omics data analysis tool suites, can not only answer questions, but also help create workflows and generate reports. Data analysis can be greatly simplified (drop your data, define your workflow and pick up the live report). You can review, refine this report (including both text and figures) toward developing your first draft with AI co-pilot.

Analytics 3.0

Cloud + AI

Data ↔ Report

To help sustain our tools, the community and to smoothly transition into AI-augmented, conversational analytics, we now offer a comprehensive training and support package (see below), and invite you to join us on this exciting journey. Thank you for your support. Together, we can define the future of omics data analytics.

Enterprise Solution

We are aware of the important needs from companies or large research groups with large data generation or privacy concerns. They are best addressed using on premise or private cloud solution. We provide support for local installation of Pro versions of our OmicsTools. It is also possible to implement custom workflows or use private / commercial databases. Please contact us.
