Meta-analyzing diverse public studies is key to identifying and validating molecular signatures. However, this is not a trivial process. Public biomedical databases are notoriously fragmented and use varying formats, syntaxes, schemas and entity notations. In this scenario, mining, integrating and harmonizing data becomes a bottleneck.
Polly enhances all data by incorporating critical metadata, ensuring uniform processing and harmonization with controlled vocabulary.
Process results across multiple platforms (Microarray, Bulk RNA-seq, and scRNAseq), overcome batch effects and make all data comparable.
Address custom metadata, and cohorting needs with Polly’s scalable harmonization.
Experience 360-degree findability for uncovering novel therapeutic targets. Save ~2X the time spent auditing public sources for accurate data.
Scan public or in-house data sources to arrive at a pool of datasets most relevant to your question.
Search across genes, pathways, indications, etc., using free-text search and contextual filters on a performant GUI.
Generate richer queries using an ontology-based recommendation engine. For example, search results for lung cancer won't just yield keyword matches but also insights into different subtypes.
Start analyzing with Polly’s Meta-analysis application.
Pick the right cohorts from your selected pool of datasets using a drag-and-drop cohort builder.
Generate interactive heatmaps, volcano plots, or scatter plots to explore gene expression levels of specific genes across multiple cohorts' biological conditions.
Get a list of meta-analyzed genes or pathways with a built-in random-effect model.
Reduce 80% of your spent in scouring public databases to derive up/ downregulated genes or pathways across indications.
Swiftly detect potential pitfalls associated with identified targets from the outset even before conducting validation experiments.
Dissect study result variations, identify sources of heterogeneity, and prevent bias risks that come from ‘mixing apples and oranges data’ with Polly.
