Periodic Reporting for period 1 - OMICpro (A Decision-making Tool for Fully Exploiting Big Bio-Data)

Reporting period: 2018-11-01 to 2019-02-28

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

Data generation in life sciences has outgrown man’s capacity to harness this knowledge, thus a bioinformatics software is required to extract knowledge from the highly heterogeneous and non-standard data currently existing. The ever-growing gap between information technology (IT) and life science environments is hindering efficient knowledge discovery by scientists and the high-end computational resources required for computing and complex software ecosystem development are expensive and scarce.

The overall objectives of OMICpro are:
- Develop the world’s first and leading bio-analysis web-based community and development platform, to attract, collect, analyse and classify as many of the analytical methodologies developed by scientists worldwide as possible;
- Demonstrate that omicX’ approach generates valuable results that cannot otherwise be obtained (using selected cases with appropriate datasets);
- Create an intelligent, automatically-evolving machine-learning-based set of algorithms to extract meaning and knowledge from the raw information released worldwide.

Work performed from the beginning of the project to the end of the period covered by the report and main results achieved so far

During the Feasibility study, we realized the Technical viability plan, Market research study, Financial feasibility study and Business Plan.

Progress beyond the state of the art and expected potential impact (including the socio-economic impact and the wider societal implications of the project so far)

OMICpro is an integrated web-interface/artificial intelligence (AI)/big-data/cloud framework to accelerate and simplify biological data analysis and interpretation.

OMICpro will impact omicX’ competitiveness, its users and the EU bioinformatics research.
