FAQ
Common questions about how Zenteomics works.
How is this different from a bioinformatics core?
Cores often run standard pipelines. Zenteomics focuses on the analytical questions specific to your experiment, with careful attention to assumptions and reproducibility. Every engagement is founder-led.
What if my data isn't publication-ready?
That is often when I am most useful. I can assess what is salvageable, identify QC issues, and help get the analysis to a defensible state.
Do you work with graduate students or only PIs?
Both. If you are a trainee with a small budget, describe your situation. I can often work within constraints or suggest a smaller scope.
What's your typical turnaround time?
It depends on scope. A QC review might take 3 to 5 business days. A full analysis support engagement is typically 2 to 4 weeks. You get a timeline before work starts.
How do you handle sensitive or unpublished data?
Data sharing is agreed in writing before any transfer. I can sign standard confidentiality agreements and NDAs.
Do you take on open-ended retainers?
No. Every engagement has defined inputs, outputs, and boundaries. You know what you are getting and what it costs before we start.
