Fractalis: a scalable open-source service for platform-independent interactive visual analysis of biomedical data

Abstract

In the field of translational research, we are facing an ever-growing amount of preclinical, clinical, OMICS, and mobile-sensor data that should be considered as a whole to understand the bigger picture of underlying diseases and biological processes. A platform that is able to store, link, and analyze the different data formats in an integrative manner is of urgent need. In recent years, several tools have emerged in an attempt to solve these issues by providing a framework with standardized formats and tools for data-driven statistical analysis. Often performed before the time-consuming and
