Reproducibility, by default
Every project ships methods documenting each tool and its version. If you can't rerun it, it isn't finished.
Why Choose Us
Work you can defend to a reviewer
Anyone can hand you a results table. The question is whether you can reproduce it, explain it, and stand behind it two years later when a reviewer asks how a number was produced. Everything below is a practice, not a promise—you'll see each one on the service pages themselves.

How We Work
Six principles, applied to every project
These aren't aspirations. Each one shows up as something concrete in what we deliver.
Established tools, not black boxes
Peer-reviewed, community-standard software chosen for your data type—so reviewers recognise the methods.
Honest scoping
If your data can't answer your question, we say so before you pay—not after the invoice clears.
Stated uncertainty
Predictions are labelled as predictions. Research findings aren't dressed up as clinical conclusions.
Your science, your credit
We support manuscripts; we don't ghostwrite them. Authorship follows ICMJE criteria and stays with your team.
Independent & vendor-neutral
No platform affiliations or referral arrangements. Our recommendation is the one we'd make for ourselves.
Clarity of Scope
What we are, and what we're not
A clear boundary protects you. Knowing what a partner won't do is as useful as knowing what they will.
What we are
- A computational bioinformatics team—analysis, interpretation, statistics
- Pipeline and software engineers, when a workflow needs building
- An independent second opinion on analysis you already have
- Support for manuscripts, figures, methods, and data deposition
- Advisors on study design—ideally before you sequence
What we're not
- A wet lab—we don't sequence, culture, or handle samples
- A clinical diagnostic laboratory; we don't diagnose or report clinically
- Ghostwriters—we never take authorship for your science
- A vendor reseller; we have no platform or kit affiliations
- A source of guarantees about publication, potency, or field outcomes
The hardest thing to buy in bioinformatics is a straight answer. Predictions get quoted as certainties, research signatures get described as clinical tests, and "we can do that" is easier to say than "your cohort is too small." We've tried to build every page on this site so the limits are stated as plainly as the capabilities—read any service or research area page and you'll find the caveats sitting right next to the claims.
Every Engagement
What lands in your hands
Consistent across services, from a single analysis to a multi-phase program.
You approve a written scope before anything begins—what we'll do, what you'll receive, and what it costs. If the scope changes mid-project, we re-quote rather than surprise you.
When the work is done, you get results with publication-quality figures and tables, and a methods section documenting every tool and version we used. That last part matters more than it sounds: it's what lets you answer a reviewer, hand the project to a student, or rerun the analysis in three years when someone questions a number.
And if we think a different analysis—or no analysis at all—serves you better, you'll hear that too.
Standard deliverables
- Written scope, agreed before work starts
- Analysis run on established, peer-reviewed tools
- Results, figures, and tables ready for publication
- Reproducible methods with every tool and version
- Email support through agreed revisions
FAQ
Fair questions
The things worth asking any analysis partner before you commit.
Three things we can point to rather than assert: every project ships reproducible methods listing each tool and version, we use established peer-reviewed tools rather than proprietary black boxes, and we scope honestly enough to tell you when an analysis will not answer your question.
Yes, and we would rather do that before you pay than after. If a study is underpowered, a method is inappropriate, or a claim is not supported by the data, we say so plainly. Independent advice that only ever agrees with you is not worth paying for.
We use established, peer-reviewed, community-standard tools matched to your data type, and we document every version. A result you cannot reproduce or defend to a reviewer is not a result, and a black box makes both impossible.
Your team. We provide analysis, figures, and methods text you can build on, and we are glad to be acknowledged, but authorship follows ICMJE criteria and the intellectual credit for your science stays with you. We do not ghostwrite.
No. We are a computational bioinformatics team working in research and clinical research. We do not provide clinical diagnoses, and clinical decisions remain with accredited laboratories and treating clinicians.
No. Our work begins once your data exists, whether it came from your core facility or a public repository. We are glad to advise on experimental design before you sequence, but we do not run the bench work ourselves.
