Automated Informatics: Bioinformatics and Data Pipelining

Automated Informatics from GenoLogics is a technology framework for life sciences research that extends the GenoLogics informatics platform from laboratory management to bioinformatics pipelining and insilico analysis. The integrated data pipelining in the GenoLogics informatics platform automatically dispatches data to the processing program as soon as it becomes available and retrieves the processed data as soon as the processing is complete, making it available for subsequent processing programs.

Automated Informatics gives bioinformaticians and informatics staff additional data pipelining flexibility beyond the wet lab, to provide end-to-end instrument data capture – both in-lab and insilico.
 

Automated Informatics: Data Capture Benefits to Bioinformaticians

  • Automated data capture nodes for laboratory instrumentation
  • Bioinformatics algorithm and tool automation, with parameter passing
  • Data parsing from industry common data formats
  • Data contextualization using system generated IDs

 

Automated Informatics: Data Pipelining Capabilities

Bioinformaticians are being bombarded with new commercial and open source data processing algorithms. By integrating data pipelining steps directly into our informatics platform, data processing programs only need to be set-up once, with a series of named protocols each containing a pre-defined set of approved parameters.

When the specified data is automatically retrieved at the appropriate point in the scientific workflow, it is automatically dispatched to the data pipelining step and the processed data is re-attached to the sample genealogy for inspection by anyone in the lab. Anyone in the lab can leverage the data pipelining capabilities by running a familiar process wizard and selecting one of the pre-defined protocols for their data.

The Automated Informatics framework is a capability offered to enhance GenoLogics’ research informatics products, such as Geneus, Proteus, and Synapseus.
