Advances in genomic and proteomic technologies coupled with high throughput screening techniques have been witnessing the generation of plethora of data. Bioinformatics with it various data analysis applications, algorithms and tools has been the major contributor to extract knowledge from this unprecedented data explosion. It plays a key role in converting tens of terabytes of data to arrive at meaningful and scientifically sound conclusions.

Bioinformatics, an interesting amalgamation of biological and computational sciences has established its presence in all the major fields of biology to aid scientists in better data management. High throughput screening techniques like microarrays exploit computing technologies to identify candidate genes, targets etc., Bioinformatics has become an integral part of other popular genomics and proteomics techniques as well.

Siri has strong capability to build individual modules for any of the genomics and proteomics techniques, integrate and bind them together into one common platform. Siri has identified the following software development services that are critical to your needs:

Data Management and Analysis Modules
Siri recognizes the need to help its clients in developing data management modules for any of the analytical techniques from genomics/proteomics main streams like microarrays, RT-PCR, MS, NMR, 2D-PAGE etc. These modular data management and analysis solutions will help you to store and retrieve data using advanced data warehousing, mining and analysis algorithms. Siri has capabilities to custom build sophisticated data analysis tools with rich graphical data visualization through these modules.

Siri is capable of addressing any of the above techniques in a comprehensive manner starting from import of data to querying and retrieving analyzed data through an efficient data analysis module.

Analytical Platform Solutions
Siri provides software development services to develop RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) based custom analytical platform solutions. These platform solutions integrate data from two or more analytical techniques. Siri has capability to develop common query interface with both simple and advanced search facility, cross-link various modules and retrieve data from a combination of analytical techniques. Data can be imported and analyzed before it is archived. This solution simultaneously processes data through more than one analytical technique and expedites validation of results from one analytical technique with those of others.

These analytical platforms could serve as a one stop repository for pooled data on any single gene/protein/small molecule collated from various analytical techniques which would help the user to arrive at better conclusions. These platforms could be provided for various analytical techniques, hospital/healthcare management

Database, Query Interfaces and GUIs
Some of the advanced laboratories might have modular solutions for RT-PCR, MS and other analytical techniques. The critical need, however, is to make the existing applications to talk to each other. Siri has capabilities to develop query interfaces to retrieve stored data for any database. These query interfaces can be designed for a text based search or a graphics-based one. Siri expects that this custom solution will help our clients to cross-link existing modules and make meaningful conclusions. Siri can also build user friendly GUIs for any bioinformatics applications.

Algorithm Development
As Life Sciences R&D entities are turning to be mammoth data processing units, the need to develop better algorithms is obvious. Many laboratories have in-house teams to address computation speed, accuracy and other number crunching issues. Siri identifies partnership opportunities to test and validate algorithms. With our expert team of mathematicians and biologists, Siri also has capabilities to develop new algorithms with built-in error management. Siri can also develop visualization or data analysis tools depending on the requirement.

Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) Siri identifies that streamlining the laboratory operations is as critical as addressing computational needs of analytical techniques. With experience in development of biological data management platform solutions, Siri has capability to custom build LIMS.

Siri can develop LIMS to manage projects, people, samples, inventory, documents, data, data analysis, audit trail,electronic signature and other critical laboratory data. Siri has specific capabilities to build LIMS for collaborative research efforts that might span globally.
