Methylation profiling has become a mainstay in brain tumor diagnostics since the introduction of the first publicly available classification tool by the German Cancer Research Center in 2017. We demonstrate the capability of this system through an ex...
BACKGROUND: Gene expression plays a key intermediate role in linking molecular features at the DNA level and phenotype. However, owing to various limitations in experiments, the RNA-seq data are missing in many samples while there exist high-quality ...
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world. Breast cancer research is focused towards its early prediction, diagnosis, and prognosis. Breast cancer can be predicted on omics profiles, clinical tests, and pathological images. The ...
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) patients are at risk of suffering from both pulmonary metastases or a second squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (LUSC). Differentiating pulmonary metastases from primary lung cancers is of high clinical i...
More and more affordable high-throughput techniques for measuring molecular features of biomedical samples have led to a huge increase in availability and size of different types of multi-omic datasets, containing, for example, genetic or histone mod...
Epigenome-Wide Association Study (EWAS) has become increasingly significant in identifying the associations between epigenetic variations and different biological traits. In this study, we develop EWAS Atlas (http://bigd.big.ac.cn/ewas), a curated kn...
Cancer progression involves the gradual loss of a differentiated phenotype and acquisition of progenitor and stem-cell-like features. Here, we provide novel stemness indices for assessing the degree of oncogenic dedifferentiation. We used an innovati...

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), a malignant brain tumor, is among the most lethal of all cancers. Temozolomide is the primary chemotherapy treatment for patients diagnosed with GBM. The methylation status of the promoter or the enhancer regions of the...

OBJECTIVE: Data integration methods that combine data from different molecular levels such as genome, epigenome, transcriptome, etc., have received a great deal of interest in the past few years. It has been demonstrated that the synergistic effects ...
MOTIVATION: 5-Methylcytosine and 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine in DNA are major epigenetic modifications known to significantly alter mammalian gene expression. High-throughput assays to detect these modifications are expensive, labor-intensive, unfeasible...
