We’d like to explain to you what we do

As experts in omics studies, we are interested in helping you to make most of your valuable resources. Whether this means advising on data management, study design, bringing your research from samples to results, providing training, optimising your experiment, devising new statistical models, writing new or adapting existing (open source) software, or helping you select, deploy or maintain your computational infrastructure.

GWAS-MAP: Biomarker and intervention target discovery platform

Our GWAS-MAP platform integrates results of genome-wide association and functional genomic analyses of millions of samples. With these big data, we apply novel analytical methods to develop etiologic hypotheses, discover candidate risk assessment biomarker, and biomarkers that may help stratifying the patients into different molecular subtypes of disease.

Scientific research

Science lies at the heart of PolyKnomics. For example, we are currently involved in two omics-related EU FP7 projects. For private customers we offer various solutions ranging from “you bring the samples, we will report the findings” to advice on how improve their experiments or analyses.

Stewardship of data and computations

With the ever growing amount of data in the life sciences, proper data management according to the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles is of paramount importance.

Reproducible research and scientific audit

It is not uncommon that people spend millions of euros on experimental, functional, and clinical follow-up of some findings only to discover that they are chasing false-positives which resulted from e.g. a bug in the statistical quality control procedure. And we all know that having original work published in Science or Nature does not guarantee that reported results are reproducible. We can help you with establishing reproducible research pipelines or with a ‘scientific audit’ before you invest follow-up of some previous (external) work.

Scientific software development

Modern science is nowhere without software. We develop new solutions or tailor existing ones to your needs. Keywords are free/open source software, R, C++, Python.

Server consulting & management

Thinking about setting up a new compute cluster for your omics analysis? Having trouble keeping your Linux systems up to date? Let us help! We have several years of experience in design and maintenance of small to medium sized compute/storage clusters for research use.

Process consulting

In any bigger research project, leadership faces a number of questions related to its (strategic) organisation. With more than a decade of experience in organising research in a wide range of settings, we are there to help you to achieve your goals.

Who we are?

PolyKnomics is a small, young company that specialises in statistical and computational omics. We are researchers at heart, but with an entrepreneurial spirit.
