# Turium Soma Overview

The Turium Soma is a robust tool that facilitates viewing, exploring, and transforming your data within a unified interface, prior to executing the logic on the complete dataset within the Genesis. This feature lets you swiftly apply transformations to comprehend their potential impact on the entire dataset.

Soma enables you to establish connections with your data, regardless of its location, and modify it using straightforward, click-and-go transformation steps.

You can generate multiple transformations and integrate them into a recipe. Once content with your recipe's outcomes, you can devise a data axon that encompasses both the source and the Soma transformation. Within the Genesis, you have the opportunity to append more nodes to keep transforming your data, and introduce a sink to direct the transformed data to a desired location.

Here's a general workflow for developing data axons with a Soma transformation:

1. Establish a connection with your data source.
2. Initiate the transformation process by double-clicking on the dataset.
3. For file connections, you will need to parse the dataset.
4. Use the Insights tab to profile your data and detect any quality issues.
5. Start adding transformations to your recipe.
6. Once your recipe is complete, click on 'Create an Axon'. Turium will generate an Axon with the source node and the Soma transformation.
7. In the Genesis, examine the Source node and Soma transformation and edit them as needed.
8. Continue to add nodes to your axon within the Genesis.
9. Once satisfied with the axon and transformations, deploy the axon and run it.
