‘Multi-omic’ data analysis using O-miner

Editorial: Multi-omic data integration

As researchers involved in molecular biology, we are witnessing tremendous paradigm changes in a time frame that becomes shorter and shorter. The epoch-making notion, originally put forward by the central dogma of biology (Crick, 1970), that there is a unidirectional process and a privileged level (genetic) of causality at which biological functions are determined, has already long and strongly...

OMICtools: an informative directory for multi-omic data analysis

Recent advances in 'omic' technologies have created unprecedented opportunities for biological research, but current software and database resources are extremely fragmented. OMICtools is a manually curated metadatabase that provides an overview of more than 4400 web-accessible tools related to genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. All tools have been classified by omic techno...

Using Semantic Workflows to Disseminate Best Practices and Accelerate Discoveries in Multi-Omic Data Analysis

The goal of our work is to enable omics analysis to be easily contextualized and interpreted for development of clinical decision aids and integration with Electronic Health Records (EHRs). We are developing a framework where common omics analysis methods are easy to reuse, analytic results are reproducible, and validation is enforced by the system based on characteristics of the data at hand. ...

Analysis of Large-Scale OMIC Data Using Self Organizing Maps

EMADS: An extendible multi-agent data miner

In this paper we describe EMADS, an Extendible Multi-Agent Data mining System. The EMADS vision is that of a community of data mining agents, contributed by many individuals, interacting under decentralised control to address data mining requests. EMADS is seen both as an end user application and a research tool. This paper details the EMADS vision, the associated conceptual framework and the c...
