This paper describes BMAP, a biomedical data analysis platform designed to improve reproducibility and traceability by managing data, analysis code, and computing environments through online and localized categorized workflows. The authors report evaluating BMAP by testing 1,692 omics-related figures from 101 recent articles across 45 visualization types, achieving coverage of 37.8% of the types and 64.3% of the figures, and note that like other platforms, reproducibility depends on accurate management of inputs such as parameters and software environments. A limitation highlighted is that general storage solutions (e.g., Dryad, GitHub, Docker) do not inherently guarantee reproducibility, which motivates the platform’s integration approach. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
Abstract
In the realm of biomedical research, efficient data analysis and processing are crucial due to the escalating volume and complexity of data generated by research teams. Managing these vast arrays of localized data presents significant challenges, necessitating precise, efficient, and reproducible analysis methodologies to ensure the integrity and reliability of scientific outcomes. Traditional management of analysis codes, computing environments, and the inherent difficulties in result traceability due to team dynamics often lead to inefficiencies and potential risks in maintaining academic integrity. Furthermore, while online storage platforms such as Dryad, GitHub, and Docker facilitate data, code, and environment management, they do not inherently guarantee the reproducibility of results, with issues like data incompleteness, forgotten parameters, or software discrepancies posing additional challenges. To address these critical gaps, we developed a BioMedical data Analysis Platform (BMAP) to offer online and localized categorized management of research assets. BMAP enhances workflow efficiency by transforming complex pipelines into user-friendly web applications, promoting consistency and standardization across team analyses. Its comprehensive web analysis module and seamless integration with data and computing resources support automated result reproducibility and visualization. According to the assessment, 1,692 omics-related figures from 101 recent articles, across 45 visualization types, were tested with BMAP, which could cover 37.8% of the types and 64.3% of the figures. BMAP also enables the sharing and enhancement of research methods through its cloud platform, allowing researchers to utilize the previously developed and validated tools, thereby reducing redundant effort and minimizing analytical discrepancies due to methodological differences.
