Cosmos-Hub Features & Tools For Skin Microbiome Analysis
Cosmos-Hub delivers a comprehensive suite of tools and cloud-based solutions that streamline every phase of skin microbiome profiling and analysis. Each feature is designed specifically for the challenges of microbiome research, from raw data acquisition via 16S rRNA sequencing to detailed taxonomic and functional annotation of human skin microbiota.
Platform Tools and Applications
|
Tool/Feature
|
Role in Microbiome Profiling & Analysis
|
|
CHAMP™ Human Microbiome Profiler
|
Sensitive, high-resolution taxonomic and functional profiling for human microbiome datasets. Benchmarking demonstrates 16% greater sensitivity and 400× lower false positives vs. competitors. Specifically optimized for low-biomass skin samples.
|
|
Statistics Toolbox
|
Create virtual cohorts from categorical/continuous metadata (lesional vs. non-lesional, acne vs. healthy), run custom analyses, and conduct meta-analysis across studies with just a few clicks.
|
|
RITA (AI Assistant)
|
An AI-powered co-pilot that answers complex questions about microbiome data, reveals scientific insights, and assists with study design and manuscript prep. Ask RITA about skin-specific organisms like "What is known about C. acnes phylotypes in acne pathogenesis?"
|
|
EMU
|
Long-read amplicon profiling pipeline for marker genes analysis (e.g., 16S, 18S, ITS) for accurate microbial diversity assessment. Full-length 16S achieves species-level resolution critical for skin microbiome studies.
|
|
Cosmos-Hub Atlas
|
Curated global database with 30,000+ public microbiome datasets, enabling comparison, meta-analysis, and new in silico research without sample collection.
|
|
Study & Data Management
|
Integrated dashboard links raw data, metadata, and results; supports team collaboration, data sharing, secure AWS-based storage, and seamless project continuity.
|
The Cosmos-Hub dashboard connects all project components in one secure, cloud-enabled workspace, supporting research teams as they analyze large, complex microbiome datasets from skin microbiome studies. With security and team-based access at its core, Cosmos-Hub empowers researchers to focus on discovery and translational outcomes in skin health, from bioinformatic analysis to study publication.
Cosmos-Hub leverages the world's largest curated sets of reference skin microbiome data—empowering dermatology, immunology, pharmaceutical, and academic researchers to benchmark, validate, and expand knowledge of human skin commensal bacteria, microbial communities, and their role in skin barrier function, immunity, and disease..
