Hello everyone,

I’m conducting a brief 5-minute survey to better understand the challenges and needs of researchers working with NGS data, bioinformatics pipelines, and advanced analytics (e.g., ML/AI). Your feedback will directly influence the design of a new platform aimed at streamlining data integration, reproducible workflows, and optional ML-driven analyses.

Who should participate? Anyone involved in sequencing data management, pipeline development, or bioinformatics research—whether academic, industry, or service providers.

What’s in it for you?

Help shape a tool that could reduce data wrangling headaches and improve collaboration. Optionally enter a drawing for a small incentive (e.g., gift card or early beta access) if you wish. Survey Link: http://bit.ly/4gCGnbC

Why this matters: We all know how fragmented the current NGS tool ecosystem can be—multiple file formats, ad hoc scripts, versioning nightmares. By gathering community insights, we hope to address the real pain points, ensuring the final product aligns with everyday research workflows and best practices in reproducible science.

Questions or Comments? Feel free to reply here or send me a direct message. I’m happy to discuss any aspect of the project or the survey.

Thank you for your time and expertise!
