Explore Our Capabiliies
BC Platforms’ solution stack spans from raw data ingestion, pipelines, quality control, and curation to downstream data management, querying, access and analysis.
Our systems are modular by design, achieving functional requirements and meeting customers’ distinctive use cases in their own order of priority.
Secure Data Environment for Multimodal Research
Our Platform offers an advanced secure environment for multimodal research with federated research capabilities. Designed to empower researchers with a comprehensive suite of tools for integrated analysis of diverse data types, enabling groundbreaking insights across clinical data, genomics, proteomics, imaging and more.
-
Versatile Analytical Pipelines:
- User interface facilitates UI based phenotypic, omics, and imaging (2024) cohort building/browsing/visualization alongside PLINK-based quick-start analysis pipelines.
- Pre-integrated tools like Jupyter Notebooks and R Studio allow for further custom analytics via Python, R and Julia
- Researchers can also bring their own algorithms (e.g. MATLAB, Regenie) into the environment via Docker images and call these via shell script from a terminal or via Nextflow
Any 3rd party analysis:
- Open architecture solution delivering the highest standards of security
- Data read and analysis APIs facilitate interoperability with other data networks and 3rd party analytical tools (e.g. Power BI or SAS; SAS licensing managed separately)
Performant Data Analysis:
- The underlying cloud native architecture of every BC Platforms’ solution allows us to take advantage of the scalability and elasticity of a cloud environment
Infrastructure optimization by Researcher:
- The solution allows the researcher to select the infrastructure on which their analysis runs and allows to pass through the associated infrastructure costs to the researchers and their organization
-
Any data type can be integrated:
- The solution supports seamless integration of diverse source data including but not limited to VCF, gVCF, BAM/CRAM, FASTQ/A files, phenotypic, probe expression values and methylation data
- Enables the integration of external annotation sources such as Clinvar, JARVIS and HGMD, providing comprehensive analytical insights for researchers
- Imaging management and analysis will be integrated in Q3 2024
Any Data Model is supported:
- Flexible clinical and –omics data models enabling a unified environment for seamless querying
- Any data model can be supported most having been implemented by our customer projects (OMOP CDM, GA4GH Phenopackets, SDTM, custom study data model, etc.)
Performant Data Load and Storage:
- For high volume genomic data, our solution boasts exceptional load performance with incremental VCF/gVCF ingestion with our BC|TILING technology
- Users can then extract meaningful information from merged multimodal data: –omics data, phenotypic data and images
Flexible data conversion, migration and extraction:
- Empowers users to take advantage of multiple tools enabling complex data conversion, transformation and harmonization, using technology provided by both BC Platforms (e.g. Data Import Wizard, BC|MATCH) and 3rd party technology (Nextflow, Python, R, ETL tools, such as Apache AirFlow and Pentaho)
- 3rd party integration is enabled via our comprehensive set of APIs
Pipeline Management and Clinical Interpretation
Our solutions are crafted for healthcare institutions with a specific emphasis on the clinical interpretation of genomic data. This approach not only propels precision medicine practices but also optimally leverages the generated data for research purposes.
