Online bio-information analysis platform goes online at the end of the year to achieve 'data does not fall' and improve research efficiency
Sino-Singapore Online, May 6th (Reporter Zhang Hengwei) On the 6th, the reporter learned from the Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Resource Data Center that the development of the PaaS-based online biological information analysis platform G-Xpert by the data center has been basically completed and is expected to be fully completed by the end of this year. online. This is another practical action of Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Resource Data Center as one of the first 18 functional platforms to be built in Shanghai. It is based on technical strength, oriented to serve the society, and fulfills social welfare functions.
Zhang Jiarui, Chief Technology Officer of the data center, said: "The data center will make full use of the advantages of existing resources, integrate expert resources in related fields, and deploy the analysis process endorsed by experts in various fields and directional optimization at the PaaS level to greatly reduce the use threshold and enable scientific researchers. Improve research efficiency with medical workers and achieve online collaboration of 'data never falling'. "
During the epidemic this year, the virus genome detection service launched by the data center is one of the main functions of the Shengxin analysis platform. Users only need to upload the second-generation sequencing data of respiratory samples to detect the presence of new coronavirus within 3 hours. .
Hao Pei, a researcher at the Shanghai Pasteur Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: "The virus detection platform directly connects the raw data of the second-generation RNA sequencing of human samples. It has functions such as automatic quality control of data, splicing and virus composition analysis, which enables rapid sample detection. There may be various viruses including new coronaviruses, and online analysis of their relative load will assist hospital institutions to make a quick and professional judgment. "
According to background data, as of 12:00 on May 6, 2020, the viral genome detection platform has provided 224 tests to users from Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, Fudan University, Pediatric Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, Zunyi Medical University and other institutions The service detected nearly 10 viruses including Covid-19, HepatitisBvirus, and InfluenzaAvirus.
In the future, in addition to online analysis, the data center will assist hospitals, disease control centers, and other organizations involved in sensitive data to help complete the localized deployment of the detection process and cloud platform to enhance real-time detection capabilities.
