A crowdsourcing approach for reusing and meta-analyzing gene expression data
Shah N, Guo Y, Wendelsdorf K, Lu Y, Sparks R, Tsang JS. A crowdsourcing approach for reusing and meta-analyzing gene expression data. Nature Biotechnology 2016, 34: 803-806. PMID: 27323300, PMCID: PMC6871002, DOI: 10.1038/nbt.3603.
We also illustrated, through a crowdsourcing experiment involving NIH volunteer scientists, how OMiCC can enable a group of non-computational biologists to utilize publicly available gene expression data to construct a multi-study “virtual” dataset of autoimmune diseases in both humans and animal models followed by meta-analysis to uncover disease signatures (Sparks et al Immunity 2016 and Lau et al F1000 Research 2016).
