Architecture of the modular integration platform. The architecture herein proposed follows three separate modules. The first module, based on data uploading of a MultiAssayExperiment or from its construction from multiple SummarizedEXperiment or matrix-like data. The second module allows to execute different selections of data (by clinical data, such as pathological stage or histological type of cancer, by experiment/assay and features). Then selected data are the input of different and/or integrate data analysis module. This modular architecture simplify expansion and redesign of a single implementation and allow simple adding of a personal module of data preparation and/or analysis for specific tasks. Moreover, all modules may provide visualization of data to support the different operations (see an example of data visualization in Fig. 6)
