Illumina Connected Multiomics is a cloud-based software platform designed for biologists to perform tertiary analysis of multiomics data for research purposes. It enables users to organize and manage biological data into studies, apply statistical methods, reference knowledge sources for biological interpretation, correlate results across various omics data types and modalities, and deliver visualization tools to support result interpretation. This functionality streamlines the process from samples to multiomics insights, accelerating data interpretation and publication efforts.
Set up ICM
To register your software, refer to the Software Setup documentation.
During the software registration process, you will need to create a domain and workgroup. Domains and Workgroups are used by Illumina Software to control access to different customer’s data and assets. When logging into ICM, you will be required to select a domain and workgroup to establish the context for your work.
Make sure all users are added to the workgroup and that the workgroup has the necessary permissions to access the ICM application. For more information, refer to the Workgroup documentation.
Log in to ICM
Once you have successfully set up your account and created your domain and workgroup, you can log in to ICM. Follow the steps below.
2. Select your domain from the list.
2. Select the Illumina Connected Multiomics application tile from your Product Dashboard.
Select your workgroup from the dropdown menu. Once you select a workgroup, it will automatically be chosen during future logins. This selected workgroup will not be applied to other Illumina Connected Software applications. If you have only one workgroup, it will be selected for you by default.
You will now be directed to the Studies overview screen. In the top right, you can click on your profile button to see the workgroup and domain you're currently in. To switch workgroups, you can click on "Workgroups" and select your desired workgroup from the dropdown menu.\
Navigate ICM
In the ICM navigation on the left panel, you'll see the following structure:
Studies are your primary work locations which contain your data and tools to execute your analyses. Studies can be considered as a binder for your work and information.
Analyses are a list of the analyses you have launched. Here, you can access graphs, view visualizations, and gather insights related to your data.
Sample Groups are collections of samples that are organized based on one or more metadata fields, allowing you to group and manage data effectively for analysis.
