BioFigR is an Ireland-registered bioinformatics service founded by Stephen Stockdale to make high-quality, bespoke analysis more accessible to researchers, laboratories, and biotechnology companies. It provides contract-based support for biological sequencing projects, combining Linux-based data processing with R-based visualizations, statistical testing, and interpretation. Services cover genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, and metagenomics, with support for short- and long-read data and a range of sequencing assays.

Work may include genome assembly and annotation, variant calling, differential expression, enrichment analysis, chromatin accessibility and binding analysis, microbial assembly, 16S rRNA analysis, and shotgun or viral metagenomics. BioFigR also supports tasks such as sequencing and sampling batch correction, host removal, and signal normalization. Its approach is human-led, flexible, and tailored to projects as analyses develop; the company emphasizes transparent workflows and fast, publication-ready results.

With experience spanning postgraduate research and sequencing-provider project management, BioFigR aims to turn biological data into clear scientific stories through practical analysis, figures, and reporting
