Question 1

What types of cancer research programmes does the multi-omic platform support?

Accepted Answer

The platform supports cancer research programmes involving whole genome sequencing, RNA-Seq, proteomics, methylation analysis, and other omic datasets. It enables tumour subtype classification, biomarker discovery, drug response prediction, companion diagnostic development, pathway analysis, and rare disease research by integrating multiple molecular data layers into a unified analysis environment.

Question 2

How does the platform handle data from different omic technologies and formats?

Accepted Answer

The platform includes a data harmonisation layer that supports VCF, BAM, FASTQ, mzML, FASTA, count matrices, and other bioinformatics formats. It performs identifier reconciliation, reference alignment, normalization, batch effect correction, and reproducible version-controlled processing to create integrated multi-omic datasets suitable for analysis, machine learning, and precision medicine applications.
