Bioinformatics is Optimized Through Visual Analytics As contemporary biotech research and medical science becomes increasingly sophisticated, bioinformatics has become an invaluable tool for managing and analyzing voluminous amounts of data. Bioinformatics has been particularly important in genomic research, because of the large amount of complex data generated in these studies. As the complexity of research increases, more and more companies are relying on visual analytics as indispensable for decision making in bioinformatics Visual analytics allows scientists engaged in a wide variety of research to view their information in a visual environment, where they can more easily understand the relationships underlying the data, identify trends and patterns, and make discoveries based on
information visualization. Today, in leading firms around the world, Spotfire's visual analytics are helping researchers create and discover future biotech products, drugs and procedures.
Spotfire® Provides Visual Analytics Tools for Bioinformatics Support As the leading provider of scientific and
business analytics, Spotfire provides a visual data environment where biotech researchers can view and interact with their bioinformatics information in order to gain faster insight and discovery. Spotfire is deployed by some of the world's most successful companies to help make more informed decisions that reduce time to market and improve the safety and efficacy of new drugs and biotech products. Spotfire allows researchers to import bioinformatics data from many sources, integrate it and explore it through a series of rich visualizations. Because the data environment is self-configuring, users can ask questions and get answers instantly, allowing for quicker exploration and discovery. Collaboration between researchers is made easier through the use of interactive reports, where visualizations can be shared with colleagues in a Web-based format. And Spotfire's Guided Analytics™ functionality allows expert users to create step-by-step guides to complicated analyses, to share best practices throughout the organization.
