How SciDAP works?

SciDAP is a no-code bioinformatics platform
that enables biologists to analyze NGS-based data
without a bioinformatician or any knowledge of coding.

Overview

SciDAP consists of a central server scidap.com that provides user interface and satellites that process and store the data. The satellite is typically installed on your hardware or cloud service. This can be a server, cluster or cloud running Linux operating system. Alternatively, we can provide users with access to our satellite to try out SciDAP.

This design allows us to provide users with the most up-to-date interface and to quickly deploy new pipelines through the central server. At the same time, to reduce HIPAA and data security concerns, the data are kept on satellites that are controlled by users and do not leave user's network. The users can access

SciDAP from any computer by logging into scidap.com. SciDAP serves as a data processing and exchange center for the whole laboratory or institution. All authorised laboratory members can add data, execute analyses, view and share the results. Do not invite strangers to your laboratory.

A biologist goes to SciDAP, logs into their lab account, and creates an experiment.
Next, the biologist selects files for analysis. Satellite downloads raw data files (fastq) from a sequencing facility or NCBI. After the download is complete, the satellite will analyze the data using reproducible CWL pipelines.
After processing is complete, researchers can view the results of the analysis in the interface provided by SciDAP. Actual data are loaded directly from the satellite.
A biologist and a satellite can be on the same network. This way the data never leave user’s organization. SciDAP instructs the satellite how to process the data but has no access to them.
Datirium constantly updates SciDAP interface and the users will always have the latest version of software and pipelines. SciDAP's reproducible CWL pipelines are open-source and are synchronized with GiHub.

Next, the biologist selects files for analysis. SciDAP sends instructions to Satellite and Satellite starts Data Processing. The data is sent from the sequencer externally.

The best modern Pipelines are stored on Github. Biologist’s data is updated in real time and SciDAP does not have direct access to it.

SciDAP is so easy to use and saves so much time, now biologists can produce publication-ready results in hours not months.
