BISC Global, a global bioinformatics consulting company, is officially launching its OP² platform.

“More and more data is being generated and faster than ever before, which has led to the data analysis becoming a significant bottleneck in molecular biology research. With the launch of our OP², we want to help researchers remove this hurdle” said Jan Ghyssaert, COO at BISC Global.

BISC’s OP² is an online platform, enabling researchers to easily upload their data and run a wide range of bioinformatics analysis pipelines, without the need for any bioinformatics skills or infrastructure. The initial platform is launched with 4 different analysis pipelines. One for bulk RNA-seq, one for single-cell RNA-seq, one for somatic variant calling and one for germline variant calling. More pipelines will be added to the platform in the coming weeks and months.

Maarten Braspenning, CEO at BISC Global: “We are very pleased to announce the launch of our OP² platform. With this platform we enable researchers, both in industry and academia, to analyse their sequencing data at the touch of a button, without the need for any bioinformatics skills, servers or cloud infrastructure. By opening the platform to all researchers, using a simple pay-per-sample model, we believe our OP² platform will make it a lot easier and faster for researchers to analyse their data.”
