Data analysis tools

In addition to a comprehensive overview of various biological pathways and information on sample quality, we also provide several data-analysis tools to help you to get the most out of your data.

Nightingale provides a comprehensive overview of various biological pathways and information on sample quality, thus the amount of data can become overwhelming. To help you get the most out of your data and interpret your findings, our team and independent researchers have developed several data-analysis tools. If you have questions on how to use the different tools, we recommend reaching out to the tool developers and their organizations.

Biomarker-disease association atlas

A comprehensive atlas of associations of Nightingale biomarkers to prevalence, incidence, and mortality of over 700 common diseases. This webtool allows to display the associations of all biomarkers versus each disease endpoint, as well as to show each biomarker versus all disease endpoints.

Summary statistics are available for download.
