Platform

Polly Makes Data from GEO Actionable & Usable

Use our custom curation and Data Concierge services, to streamline access to the most relevant datasets from GEO.

Define your inclusion criteria, analysis needs, and data processing requirements; and let our experts do the heavy lifting.

Leverage Polly’s harmonization engine to meticulously curate, process, and harmonize data at high throughput.

Polly retrieves datasets from GEO, processes them with customized pipelines (Kallisto, STAR, and Salmon), and annotates them with over 30+ metadata fields at the dataset, sample level, and feature levels, making them ML-ready.

The datasets also go through ~50 QA/QC checks for schema compliance, metadata validation, technical artifacts, and more, for pristine quality data.

Harmonized GEO datasets are stored on an Atlas on Polly for further exploration with code or GUI-based search & analysis.

Perform metadata-based exploration or check for differential expression across datasets using popular tools like Phantasus and CellxGene hosted on Polly.

Work with our experts to develop interactive, custom dashboards to deep-dive into data for better insights.

How Does Polly Harmonize GEO Datasets?

Polly's powerful harmonization engine processes measurements, links to ontology-backed metadata, and transforms datasets into a consistent data schema.

The Polly Difference

GEO v/s Polly

Only about 3% of GEO datasets have been curated retrospectively. The bulk of GEO publications lack standardized metadata, use inconsistent protocols for processing raw data, and are not machine-readable.  Polly’s Harmonization Engine transforms these semi-structured GEO publications into 'ML-ready' datasets. Polly delivers GEO datasets that are rich in metadata, processed consistently, and quality-controlled to ensure maximum integrity.
