Our single mission for over a decade.
For over 10 years, XiaLab has been driven by a single mission: to democratize omics data science. What started as a small academic project has grown into a global platform supporting over 1 million researchers worldwide.
Two years ago, we founded XiaLab Analytics to secure the long-term sustainability of these tools. Today, through our training programs and Pro subscriptions, we have achieved this goal. And AI now lets us move faster – building, improving, and even tailoring the tools to a single lab. Thank you for your trust.
This vision is not fixed; it evolves with the science and the tools. Each month I write an open letter about where the work is heading – from the tools and the role of context, to the OmicsVerse platform and an honest assessment of what AI can and cannot do for analysis.
You can read the latest letter, or browse the past issues.
OmicsVerse is the step that ties this together: our seven tools unified into one platform, so a multi-omics study no longer means assembling results by hand. It brings together 100+ curated workflows that ground AI, so it can streamline data analysis and interpretation while every step stays a validated method you can inspect, verify, and adjust. And it runs on your own machine, local first, with the cloud as a backup.
Over the past two years, we've built a comprehensive training library covering every major workflow. This content is continuously updated with the latest advances in the field and transformed into an AI-enabled, searchable knowledge base.
Structured learning designed for busy researchers. Each lesson links concepts directly to tool demos – learn the theory, then immediately apply it. Complete at your own schedule, with full library access to search any concept and find the exact video timestamp.
For those who want to go further, we also teach live: an intensive multi-omics bootcamp and a weekly fall course, hands-on with our team and real data. The self-paced library builds your foundation any time; the live sessions take you deeper, together.
• Starter Package: Learn and practice together. Our 12-week self-paced program pairs 30-min daily micro-lessons with 1-year cloud tools access. Coordinate concepts and tools seamlessly – find the exact moment for any concept covered, or locate the precise slide when you have a specific question. AI cannot replace understanding; comprehension is essential.
• Standard Package: For researchers ready to run. Project management, reliable computing, and professional reporting, with self-paced training included. Install locally for complete data control. Every tool page links directly to relevant training materials – watch the demo, read the concept, then apply it immediately. These validated, peer-reviewed pipelines are the backbone that makes intelligent automation possible.
• Community: Through OmicsForum, our public servers, monthly newsletters, and AI assistant, advanced analytics remain a shared global resource. Search any concept and find the corresponding topic discussions and answers from our curated knowledge base. Learn, apply, and grow with the community.
OmicsVerse is the starting point. The longer goal is a system you can hand your data and your question, and receive an analysis you can inspect and trust. We are building it in three stages: grounding – validated tools and manual modes you can check, one foundation across the omics; automation – workflows that handle the routine and weigh the sensible alternatives for you; and agency – AI that works alongside you, running the analysis while the judgment stays yours.
Understanding comes first; the tools and the AI follow from it. Thank you for being part of this work – your success is our main motivation.
