Our consulting services
How we work
We work interactively with our customers and try to listen to their needs. The usual procedure is that we have an initial meeting where we discuss the project. After agreeing on a contract, we perform the analysis in close contact with the customer. Our work is done when there is agreement that a final result has been achieved.
Gene expression
We have a lot of experience working with gene expression data sets from microarrays or qPCR. We can help with every step in the analysis including finding new scientific hypothesis.
Proteomics
We also analyze proteomics data from mass spectrometry or 2D gels.
Sequencing
We can take raw sequencing data and pre-process it into a format for further analysis. Sequencing data can be used for gene expression as well as an alternative to microarrays.
Classification
We perform supervised classification using support vector machines and other techniques. Classification is useful for diagnostics. For example, blood samples might contain diagnostic information. Supervised classification might be able to find the diagnostic signal in the data.
Statistics
We can perform various statistical tests on the data. We have used R and Matlab, but we can help with other systems as well.
Figures
We prepare and customize publication ready figures.
Data repositories
Many journals require that data is deposited in a public repository. We handle the entire process of formatting and uploading the data.
Pre-processing
Most data requires pre-processing and quality control. We can perform such processing when necessary.
Normalization
We can compare various normalization strategies and help select a proper normalization.
