MoboCaster is an Opus 23 Pro informatics app that performs scenario-specific genomic analysis since, as clinicians, that’s pretty much how we think about genomics. The browser screen (above) in MoboCaster lists an overview of several genomic scenarios, such as the HPA Axis, Oxalate Genomics, Phase I Detoxification, etc. that display […]
Initially, I was very excited about the prospect of allowing the import of ancestry.com DNA data into Opus 23. After all, they use the same Illumina technology as 23andMe (although 23andMe apparently have their own unique chip.) Initial testing was promising. Like 23andMe, Ancestry supplies raw data in a basic […]
There has been an explosion of interest in the microbiome. Outfits such as uBiome has made it relatively inexpensive and easy to have your microbiome profiled. These services extract the bacterial DNA out of the sample and identify each of the bacteria that the DNA came from. There appear to […]
Two years ago I developed a software app called SkySaw for use on my teaching shift at the COEGM. SkySaw allows clinicians to structure patient encounters as a linked network (technically a directed acyclic graph). What made this attractive was that these individual networks could be connected together into a great […]
Like most of my coding projects Opus 23 Pro is written primarily in the Perl scripting language. Perl handles most of the basic server-side functions (like disk reading, etc) and sends its output out to the browser via HTML, Javascript, etc. Perl is widely used in bioinformatics, and has been […]
I designed Opus 23 Pro to serve two user audiences: the physician who works in the development environment to generate and curate information; and the client, who represents the end-user of that information. Both have widely differing needs and points of reference. One aspect of Opus 23 Pro that I […]
Algorithms are perhaps the most significant and flexible aspect of Opus 23 data. They are usually the easiest result for the non-medical person to understand, because their conclusions are usually simplified statements in everyday language. Algorithms are processed by the LUMEN app in Opus 23 Pro. LUMEN is one of […]
