Visualizing your NGS results with Basepair
Writers write, painters paint, genomics researchers… wait patiently for algorithm pipelines to finish processing NGS data, only to spend as much time visualizing results? As long-time researchers and bioinformaticians, we’re well aware that in NGS data analysis, every...
How Basepair Enables Labs to Work and Collaborate Remotely
With a large number of companies and universities taking extensive measures to curb the spread of COVID-19, many employees are now working remotely. A range of software tools help remote teams seamlessly manage messages, meetings, and projects. Slack for messaging,...
Add Multiple Samples Seamlessly with Basepair’s New Upload Page
FASTQ files. Except they’re not “just” files, not “just” data. They’re the culmination of countless hours of running experiments, library preparation, sequencing, etc. You spent all this time gathering data — probably more time than you would have liked — so by the...
Achieving data provenance with Basepair’s automated audit trails
When auditing goes wrong Is your genomics team keeping track of the open source tools it’s using? What about software version numbers and the parameters being set? Genome reference files, usage logs, the custom scripts bioinformaticians are deploying? If you’re not...
How automated workflows simplify NGS analysis
NGS Data Analysis Bottlenecks One of the biggest bottlenecks in next generation sequencing (NGS) today is data analysis, which is surprising considering that we have massive compute available at our fingertips, the available infrastructure to process thousands of...
Opening the Black Box of Bioinformatics: How RMA of NY Analyzed Their Own Sequencing Data With Basepair
If you ask the Basepair team what makes them excited to work at Basepair, they’d probably say that it’s the knowledge that they’re creating solutions that make research faster and accessible for more scientists. But what makes the team especially excited is when they...
Single cell RNA-seq is taking the research world by storm. Are your bioinformaticians ready?
We talk to bioinformaticians at research cores and pharma companies every day. One of the biggest changes we’ve seen in the last couple years is the growing popularity of single cell sequencing. And while it’s too early to call single cell RNA-seq ubiquitous, no doubt...
