What you can do with Subio Platform
While some analysis features of the Subio Platform are provided as paid plug-ins, the free Subio Platform alone is quite useful in two key scenarios. First, it excels tremendously when interpreting analysis results. Second, it excels when setting up an environment to quickly investigate what you want to know.
Useful for interpreting analysis results
When you have someone analyze a dataset, you'll likely receive an Excel file with tables showing fold values and p-values, or a PDF file containing explanations and figures. But isn't it tough to extract biological insights from these? Can you also evaluate whether the analysis procedure was appropriate?
But if you receive analysis results in a format viewable on the Subio Platform, you can examine the data from multiple angles using the powerful Viewer and review the analysis procedures. If necessary, you can even restart the analysis from a certain point and compare the results.
Not every team member needs the plug-ins. Someone experienced in analysis can use the plug-in to perform the analysis and share the results. Members can each use the free Subio Platform to review, examine, and deeply understand the data from multiple angles, significantly increasing the chances of discovery.
If your lab lacks personnel with extensive analysis experience, please utilize Subio's data analysis service. We don't just pass along analysis results unilaterally. We explain the data characteristics and analysis procedures during web conferences, revise procedures as needed, and provide guidance on interpreting the analysis results.
Useful for quick checks
While you need plug-ins for data preparation for papers or conference presentations, the actual time spent working without plug-ins is overwhelmingly greater. Because real data analysis isn't a one-way process, as you read in papers, but it's a continuous back-and-forth of trial and error. Adjusting normalization and preprocessing, examining data from multiple angles, searching keywords or websites, or combining gene lists with Venn diagrams—these are all free features of the Subio Platform.
Since Subio Platform is free, you can install it on multiple computers and keep duplicate copies of your data. This lets you create an environment where you can explore ideas as they pop into your head, before they vanish, without incurring any cost.
