Curated resources at centralized repositories provide high-value service to users by enhancing data veracity. Curation, however, comes with a cost, as it requires dedicated time and effort from personnel with deep domain knowledge. In this paper, we ...
BACKGROUND: Disease Ontology (DO) has been widely studied in biomedical research and clinical practice to describe the roles of genes. DO enrichment analysis is an effective means to discover associations between genes and diseases. Compared to hundr...
The exponential growth of microbial genome data presents unprecedented opportunities for unlocking the potential of microorganisms. The burgeoning field of pangenomics offers a framework for extracting insights from this big biological data. Recent a...
Single-cell transcriptome-wide association studies (scTWAS) is a new method for conducting TWAS analysis at the cellular level to identify gene-trait associations with higher precision. This approach helps overcome the challenge of interpreting cell-...
Circadian rhythms, which are the natural cycles that dictate various physiological processes over a 24-h period, have been increasingly recognized as important in the management and treatment of various human diseases. However, the lack of sufficient...
