WebSEQ: A New Tool for Democratizing Omics Data Sharing

The relative ease of generation and proliferation of omics datasets has moved considerably faster than the effective dissemination of these data to the scientific community. Despite advancements in making raw data publicly available, many researchers struggle with data analysis and integration. We propose sharing analyzed data through user-friendly platforms to enhance accessibility. Here, we present a free, online tool, for sharing basic omics data in a searchable and user-friendly format. Importantly, it requires no coding or prior computational knowledge to build—only a data spreadsheet. Overall, this tool facilitates the exploration of transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomics data, which is crucial for understanding glial diversity and function. This initiative underscores the importance of accessible molecular data in advancing neuroscience research.
