Days consumed above your allocation are billed at our catalogue day rate less your plan's discount. Twelve-month commitment, billed monthly in arrears. Unused days carry over within the current quarter, with no carry-over beyond it. Termination with three months' notice at the annual renewal date, and you can move up a plan at any time, pro-rated for the current month. Ask us for the current rates and we will size the right plan with you.

Scope

One subscription, all your recurring bioinformatics

Omics analysis

Bulk and single-cell RNA-seq, proteomics, metagenomics, lipidomics. Differential expression, pathway enrichment, publication-quality figures.

Pipeline & app maintenance

We take over the Snakemake pipeline or Shiny app your former PhD student left behind, keep it running, and improve it.

Statistics & publication support

Methods sections, reviewer responses, figures your journal will accept without a fight.

Team support

Code review, experimental design input on the data side, a senior bioinformatician your biologists can actually talk to.

Full application or pipeline development from scratch is quoted separately as a project. Your retainer gets you priority scheduling on those too.

Streamlined Process

How it works

01

Pick a plan

A 20-minute call to size your recurring volume. We will tell you honestly if a one-off project fits better.

02

Sign once

One master service agreement covering confidentiality and IP. No further paperwork, ever.

03

Send requests

Email your dedicated contact. Work starts within your guaranteed response time.

04

Track everything

A usage summary comes with every monthly invoice. Move up a plan whenever you need to, pro-rated for the current month.

CIR Logo

SciLicium holds the French CIR accreditation. For eligible French companies, 30% of the subscription is recoverable as a research tax credit, which brings the real cost of a plan down by close to a third. You claim the credit on eligible R&D expenditure; it is not a discount we grant.
