Over the past couple of years, Rosalind has grown in a deliberate direction — toward being the place where more of your science can happen end to end, across more kinds of data, with less friction at every step. Here's the arc, and where it points next. ###### 2 min read ## [Why We Built the Rosalind Corpus — and Where It Takes the Industry](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/why-we-built-the-rosalind-corpus) By [Tim Wesselman](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/author/tim-wesselman) on Apr 14, 2026, 9:00:00 AM [![](https://www.rosalind.bio/hubfs/2020-website-images/2023/New-Images/Lexogen%20Showcase-1.png) ](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/why-we-built-the-rosalind-corpus) I've written over the past couple of years about a through-line: that rigor is the foundation, that no experiment is an island, and that our field has to move from storing data to reasoning across it. Today I want to name plainly where all of that has been heading — because I think it matters not just for Rosalind, but for the industry. ###### 2 min read ## [From Data Storage to Data Intelligence](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/from-data-storage-to-data-intelligence) By [Tim Wesselman](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/author/tim-wesselman) on Sep 16, 2025, 9:00:00 AM [![](https://www.rosalind.bio/hubfs/2020-website-images/2023/New-Images/v3.11%20Public%20Data%20Import%20Preview.png) ](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/from-data-storage-to-data-intelligence) Earlier this year I argued that no experiment is an island — that the value of biological data shows up in context, not in isolation. The most common response I heard was some version of: yes, obviously, so why is it still so hard? That's exactly the right question, and I want to answer it head-on, because it points straight at the biggest shift I see coming to our field. ###### 1 min read ## [Your Data Is Stronger in Context: Meta-Analysis Grows Up](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/meta-analysis-in-context-2025) By [Tim Wesselman](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/author/tim-wesselman) on Jul 15, 2025, 9:00:00 AM [![](https://www.rosalind.bio/hubfs/ring-OnMetaMasthead-1.jpg) ](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/meta-analysis-in-context-2025) A single experiment is a data point. Its meaning almost always emerges in context — next to other studies, other conditions, other modalities. That's the whole premise of meta-analysis, and it's an area we've invested heavily in this release. ###### 2 min read ## [No Experiment Is an Island](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/no-experiment-is-an-island) By [Tim Wesselman](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/author/tim-wesselman) on Feb 11, 2025, 8:00:00 AM [![](https://www.rosalind.bio/hubfs/Data%20Made%20Human.png) ](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/no-experiment-is-an-island) A few months ago I wrote about our founding bet: that rigor and provenance are the foundation everything else stands on. I want to build on that today, because a foundation is only ever worth as much as what you choose to put on top of it. And the thing I'm most convinced our field needs to put on top is context. ###### 1 min read ## [From Analysis to Publication, Without Leaving the Platform](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/analysis-to-publication-2024) By [Tim Wesselman](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/author/tim-wesselman) on Nov 19, 2024, 8:00:00 AM [![](https://www.rosalind.bio/hubfs/AdobeStock_256395528.jpeg) ](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/analysis-to-publication-2024) Discovery only matters once it's communicated. The last mile of research — turning a result into a figure a reviewer trusts and a reader understands — is where a surprising amount of a scientist's time goes, and where a surprising number of tools fall short. We've been investing in that last mile. ###### 1 min read ## [ROSALIND Partners with CS Genetics to Revolutionize Single-Cell Genomics](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/rosalind-partners-with-cs-genetics-to-revolutionize-single-cell-genomics) By [Tim Wesselman](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/author/tim-wesselman) on Sep 19, 2024, 11:49:30 AM [![](https://www.rosalind.bio/hubfs/Blue%20(11).png) ](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/rosalind-partners-with-cs-genetics-to-revolutionize-single-cell-genomics) SimpleCell + Rosalind is Available NOW!!

Modern biology produces an astonishing amount of data — and trusts far too little of it. That gap, between how much we generate and how much we can actually rely on, is the defining challenge of our field. It's also, I've come to believe, the biggest opportunity in it. ###### 4 min read ## [NanoString Masterclass: Quality Control](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/masterclass-nanostring-quality-control) By [Tim Wesselman](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/author/tim-wesselman) on May 21, 2024, 9:04:52 AM [![](https://www.rosalind.bio/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202024-05-21%20at%2012.06.41%20PM.png) ](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/masterclass-nanostring-quality-control) Earlier this month, [we launched NanoString Masterclass Series](https://www.rosalind.bio/blog/mastering-nanostring-ncounter-gene-expression-data-analysis-a-comprehensive-series), designed to enhance scientific understanding and practical skills in advanced nCounter data analysis.
