Bioinformatics Pipelines for Marketplaces: Data-Driven Genomic and Biotech Analytics

Abstract

The exponential growth of genomic and omics data has necessitated scalable, reproducible, and efficient computational frameworks. This study investigates the role of bioinformatics pipelines within marketplace ecosystems, focusing on their impact on data-driven genomic and biotech analytics. By evaluating multiple pipeline modules across pre-processing, analysis, and annotation stages, the findings reveal significant variation in execution time, memory utilization, accuracy, and reproducibility. Comparative assessment of marketplaces such as DNAnexus, Seven Bridges, and Galaxy demonstrates that technical interoperability, containerization efficiency, and regulatory compliance are critical drivers of adoption, while cost structures remain a major determinant for user segmentation. Machine learning integration within pipelines substantially enhanced predictive modeling for biomarker detection and drug-target prediction, with deep learning and random forest models achieving the strongest performance. Multivariate statistical analyses confirmed that interoperability and compliance positively influence adoption rates, whereas higher costs act as a barrier. Dimensionality reduction through PCA enabled effective cohort stratification, while cluster analysis identified distinct marketplace adoption patterns, emphasizing the heterogeneity of user needs. Overall, the study underscores the transformative potential of integrating pipelines with marketplace infrastructures, enabling scalable biotech innovation, democratizing access to advanced tools, and advancing precision medicine.
