BioStatFlow -Statistical Analysis Workflow for "Omics" Data

Abstract: BioStatFlow is a free web application, useful to facilitate the performance of statistical analyses of "omics", including metabolomics, data using R packages. It is a fast and easy on-line tool for biologists who are not experts in univariate and multivariate statistics, do not have time to learn R language, and only have basic notions in biostatistics. It guides the biologist through the different steps of a statistical workflow, from data normalization and imputation of missing data to univariate and multivariate analyses. It also includes tools to reconstruct and visualize networks based on correlations. All outputs are easily saved in a session or downloaded. New analytical modules can be easily included upon request. BioStatFlow is available online: http://biostatflow.org
