Does your current tool set have these advantages?

  • Free-form linguistic input produces immediate results without the need for syntax
    Unique to Wolfram technologies
  • Built-in curated genomic and proteomic data, ready for use without preprocessing
    Unique to Wolfram technologies
  • High-level language with automated interface construction for quick prototyping of applications
    BioPerl, BioJava, and BioPython require extensive programming to prototype interactive applications
  • Powerful integrated statistical and graphical tools for analyzing genomic, proteomic, and other data
    R projects like Bioconductor focus on genomic data only
  • Built-in high-level computation and automatic report generation
    BioPerl, BioJava, and BioPython do not include automatic report generation
  • Easy-to-use parallel computing capabilities for solving computation- or data-intensive problems on multicore computers
    Extensive programming is required to parallelize processes in all other systems
  • Complete high-level workflow enabled by symbolic function architecture
    R does not have symbolic functionality built in
