ON DEMAND WEBINAR
Metabolon’s Integrated Bioinformatics Platform New Features Release: A Guide To Statistics For Non-Statisticians
Metabolon’s Bioinformatics Platform is a fully integrated solution designed to accelerate research outcomes of metabolomics projects. Users can instantly visualize and represent sample data in meaningful ways that help prove a hypothesis and go deeper, to find novel data insights without prior knowledge or experience of bioinformatics or statistics.
The newly released Statistics Tool in Metabolon’s Integrated Bioinformatics Platform adds to the power and utility of existing features and provides new ways to explore and interpret your data.
The statistics features included within the tool supports further hypothesis testing and enables you to perform advanced data management and enrichment through outlier removal and metadata modification.
In this webinar, Joe Foster, Strategic Product Director, and Heino Heyman, Director of Applied Metabolomics, demonstrate the features of the new guided statistics tool and provide examples of how outlier removal and metadata modification can improve the impact of other visualization tools and features within the Bioinformatics Platform.
You will learn:
- How to use the statistics tool to define new analyses
- Outlier removal best practices and recommendations
- How to add and modify metadata to gain greater contextual insights from your sample data.
- How new statistical analyses integrates with the wider Bioinformatics Platform
