Abstract: A critical component in the interpretation of systems-level studies is the inference of enriched biological pathways and protein complexes contained within OMICs datasets Successful analysis requires the integration of a broad set of current biological databases and the application of a robust analytical pipeline to produce readily interpretable results Metascape is a web-based portal designed to provide a comprehensive gene list annotation and analysis resource for experimental biologists In terms of design features, Metascape combines functional enrichment, interactome analysis, gene annotation, and membership search to leverage over 40 independent knowledgebases within one integrated portal Additionally, it facilitates comparative analyses of datasets across multiple independent and orthogonal experiments Metascape provides a significantly simplified user experience through a one-click Express Analysis interface to generate interpretable outputs Taken together, Metascape is an effective and efficient tool for experimental biologists to comprehensively analyze and interpret OMICs-based studies in the big data era

TL;DR: In this article , an epigenetic and transcriptional atlas of T cell differentiation from healthy humans that included exhausted CD8 T cells was generated and applied to three settings: a neoadjuvant anti-PD1 melanoma trial, a basal cell carcinoma scATAC-seq dataset, and autoimmune disease-associated SNPs-yielding insights into disease-specific biology.

TL;DR: Pigs are a valuable human biomedical model and an important protein source supporting global food security as mentioned in this paper, and the transcriptomes of peripheral blood immune cells in pigs were defined at the bulk cell-type and single cell levels.
Analyzing and validating the prognostic value and mechanism of colon cancer immune microenvironment
TL;DR: A comprehensive evaluation of the immune microenvironment landscape of colon cancer and the positive correlation between immunity and TMB was demonstrated and the hub genes and frequently mutated genes were strongly related to immunity and may give suggestion for immunotherapy in the future.

TL;DR: The goal of the Gene Ontology Consortium is to produce a dynamic, controlled vocabulary that can be applied to all eukaryotes even as knowledge of gene and protein roles in cells is accumulating and changing.
A Coefficient of agreement for nominal Scales
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a procedure for having two or more judges independently categorize a sample of units and determine the degree, significance, and significance of the units. But they do not discuss the extent to which these judgments are reproducible, i.e., reliable.
Systematic and integrative analysis of large gene lists using DAVID bioinformatics resources.
TL;DR: By following this protocol, investigators are able to gain an in-depth understanding of the biological themes in lists of genes that are enriched in genome-scale studies.
