-Mukund Chaudhry Polly is Elucidata’s data-centric MLOps platform which hosts millions of biomolecular datasets, and PollyBERT is our suite of transformer-based language models. The “datasets” we ingest usually come in the form of experimental measurements, accompanying textual metadata, and/or scientific papers describing the experiments’ results. The large number of datasets…

by Shruti Mehrotra Our ‘Dataset of the Week’ series features publicly available omics datasets of scientific value, intending to promote data sharing and reuse. Publication: Neuron, 2018. This week, we feature RNA-seq profiles of three iPSC-derived brain cell types from the publication ‘APOE4 Causes Widespread Molecular and Cellular Alterations Associated…

by Swetabh Pathak We, at Elucidata, work with many small to mid-size biopharma companies that use large amounts of high throughput data. They generate this data in-house or through CRO partners. Apart from this, they are also looking at multiple public data sources — data repositories, databases and papers. For…

by Shruti Mehrotra Our ‘Dataset of the Week’ series features publicly available omics datasets of scientific value, intending to promote data sharing and reuse. Publication: Cell Reports, 2016. This week, we feature a microarray gene expression profile generated on an Affymetrix PrimeView human oligonucleotide array from the publication titled ‘Concordant…

Why FAIR? Transparency, openness, and reproducibility are readily recognized as vital features of science. One might expect that these valued features would be routine in daily practice, but growing evidence suggests that this is not the reality. The present culture that encourages innovation can undermine practices that support verification. Traditional practices in…

From peaks to absolute concentrations within minutes for 100s of metabolites By Vipul Jain About Polly™ QuantFit Polly™ QuantFit is a calibration tool used for the absolute quantification of metabolites. For the calculation of absolute concentration, the experiment is done with some standard samples of known concentrations.

By Richa Mudgal, Manmeet Dayal, Vipul Jain What is a Single-cell Atlas? A Single-cell atlas is an effort to catalog all different kinds of cells in the human or animal body using the latest techniques in Next-Gen sequencing, microfluidic techniques, nanotechnology, and high-resolution microscopy. Efforts have been made to map every cell that makes up…

We’ve all done it — working remotely a day, a week, every now and then. We all found it comfortable and actually more productive than working in those cubicles. No morning rush, fewer interactions, focused mind, eat as you like, no need to dress-up. But four months stuck at home…

by Jainik Dedhia El-MAVEN is an open-source mass spectrometry data processing engine that is optimal for isotopomer labeling and global metabolomic profiling experiments. Currently, it exists as a desktop application that runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac systems. The software can be used to view the mass spectra, align chromatograms…
