The issue is exacerbated...

should be:

This issue is exacerbated...

Otherwise it's not clear what issue we're referring to.

Rather, software tools are required that support an interactive approach to analysis, but nevertheless encourage good bioinformatic practices. This allows parameters to be fine-tuned for the study at hand in response to any issues diagnosed during data exploration, while supporting rigour and reproducibility.

I would split this into two separate sets of sentences; one talking about interactivity, and the other talking about rigour. As it stands, they are unnecessarily jumbled up above, and it's not really clear what "good bioinformatic practices" refer to. Suggest a change to:

Rather, software tools are required that support an interactive approach to analysis. This allows parameters to be fine-tuned for the study at hand in response to any issues diagnosed during data exploration. The provided functionality should also process the data in a statistically rigorous manner and encourage good bioinformatics practices by facilitating reproducible analyses.

Might want to change last sentence

The provided functionality should also process the data in a statistically rigorous manner and encourage good bioinformatics practices by facilitating reproducible analyses.

to

The provided functionality should also process the data in a statistically rigorous manner and encourage reproducible bioinformatics analyses.

to keep it short.

Both good improvements. Applied.
