iSODA: A Comprehensive Tool for Integrative Omics Data Analysis in Single- and Multi-Omics Experiments

Thanks to the plummeting costs of continuously evolving omics analytical platforms, research centers collect multiomics data more routinely. They are, however, confronted with the lack of a versatile software solution to harmoniously analyze single-omics and interpret multiomics data. We have developed iSODA, a web-based application for the analysis of single- and multiomics data. The tool emphasizes intuitive interactive visualizations designed for user-driven data exploration. Researchers can access a variety of functions ranging from simple visualization like volcano plots and PCA to advanced functional analyses like enrichment analysis and lipid saturation analysis. For integrated multiomics, iSODA incorporates multi-omics factor analysis and similarity network fusion. The ability to adapt the data on-the-fly allows for tasks, such as the removal of outlier samples or failed features, imputation, or normalization. All results are presented through interactive plots, the modular design supports extensions, and tooltips and tutorials provide comprehensive guidance for users. iSODA is accessible under http://isoda.online/.
