Profiler: an open web platform for multi-omics analysis.
MOTIVATION: High-throughput multi-omics technologies produce increasingly large and heterogeneous datasets that are difficult to analyze without advanced computational expertise. Existing bioinformatics tools are often fragmented or limited to specific omics types, hindering reproducibility and accessibility. There is a critical need for an integrated, user-friendly, and scalable platform capable of supporting multi-omics analyses across different data modalities. RESULTS: We present Profiler, an open-source, modular platform that unifies data import, quality control, preprocessing, statistical testing, machine and deep learning, biomarker discovery, pathway and drug-target enrichment, and survival modeling within a single reproducible environment. Built in Python with Streamlit, Profiler is available as both a web-based platform deployed on high-performance computing and a desktop version for local execution, enabling flexible usage across computational infrastructures. Profiler supports diverse omics modalities, including proteomics, transcriptomics, lipidomics, and electroencephalogram data. Through applications to glioblastoma proteomic, pancancer, and multi-omics datasets, Profiler reproduced known molecular subtypes, revealed potential therapeutic targets, and generated fully traceable analysis reports within minutes. By integrating advanced analytics behind an intuitive interface, Profiler democratizes multi-omics analysis and provides a robust, scalable foundation for systems biology and precision medicine research. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Profiler is open-source and freely available via its web platform (https://prism-profiler.univ-lille.fr) and GitHub (web version: https://github.com/yanisZirem/Profiler_v1_requests_datatests, desktop version: https://github.com/yanisZirem/prism-profiler), and archived on Zenodo (DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17478158).
