  1. Partek Flow is compatible with all major genomic formats and assays (including integrating different assays) for your complete analysis needs. There is no need to navigate the command line but you still get the same level of control. Save time using the easy point and click interface while analyzing data from start to finish.
  2. Partek has many tools, some specific to Partek, some industry standard 3rd party tools. The platform also welcomes user tools.
  3. Partek Flow can also be used to create publication quality, interactive visualizations as well as rigorous statistics and comprehensive tools to help you make the most out of your data.
  4. It's easy to share projects and data (with no limitations on the size of the data) with collaborators.
