FAQs
BioRender Graphing is a cloud-based scientific data analysis and graphing tool for life science researchers. It supports t-tests, ANOVAs, nonparametric tests, dose-response with global curve fitting and EC50/IC50 (EC/IC) calculations, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, with automatic data formatting, outlier detection, and statistical test recommendations. Graphs are publication-quality from the start, and easy to customize and sync across presentations. Access from any browser and on any device, no installation required.
BioRender Graphing supports the analyses scientists rely on most, including t-tests, ANOVAs, dose-response with global curve fitting and EC50/IC50 (EC/IC), Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and more, all computed in R for reproducible, citable results. For comparisons between groups: t-tests, one- and two-way ANOVAs, with nonparametric alternatives. For modeling relationships: simple linear regression, simple logistic regression, correlation, and nonlinear modeling of growth, decay, and dose-response. For survival analysis: Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression. Statistical assumption checks include outlier detection (ROUT method), Shapiro-Wilk test of normality, and Levene's test of equal variances. All statistical analyses are computed in R, with full transparency on the packages and functions used, ensuring your methods are reproducible and citable.
In addition to statistical analyses, BioRender Graphing supports publication-quality graph types including bar, column, line, scatter, pie, grouped, and boxplot charts, as well as survival curves, dose-response curves, heatmaps, and well plate heatmaps. Violin plots, forest plots, and volcano plots are coming in late 2026. Review the full list of supported graph types and statistical tests.
