3Omics: a web-based systems biology tool for analysis, integration and visualization of human transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic data.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Integrative and comparative analyses of multiple transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics datasets require an intensive knowledge of tools and background concepts. Thus, it is challenging for users to perform such analyses, highlighting the need for a single tool for such purposes. The 3Omics one-click web tool was developed to visualize and rapidly integrate multiple human inter- or intra-transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data by combining five commonly used analyses: correlation networking, coexpression, phenotyping, pathway enrichment, and GO (Gene Ontology) enrichment. RESULTS: 3Omics generates inter-omic correlation networks to visualize relationships in data with respect to time or experimental conditions for all transcripts, proteins and metabolites. If only two of three omics datasets are input, then 3Omics supplements the missing transcript, protein or metabolite information related to the input data by text-mining the PubMed database. 3Omics' coexpression analysis assists in revealing functions shared among different omics datasets. 3Omics' phenotype analysis integrates Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man with available transcript or protein data. Pathway enrichment analysis on metabolomics data by 3Omics reveals enriched pathways in the KEGG/HumanCyc database. 3Omics performs statistical Gene Ontology-based functional enrichment analyses to display significantly overrepresented GO terms in transcriptomic experiments. Although the principal application of 3Omics is the integration of multiple omics datasets, it is also capable of analyzing individual omics datasets. The information obtained from the analyses of 3Omics in Case Studies 1 and 2 are also in accordance with comprehensive findings in the literature. CONCLUSIONS: 3Omics incorporates the advantages and functionality of existing software into a single platform, thereby simplifying data analysis and enabling the user to perform a one-click integrated analysis. Visualization and analysis results are downloadable for further user customization and analysis. The 3Omics software can be freely accessed at http://3omics.cmdm.tw.

Project description:BackgroundThe Bioinformatics Resource Manager (BRM) is a web-based tool developed to facilitate identifier conversion and data integration for Homo sapiens (human), Mus musculus (mouse), Rattus norvegicus (rat), Danio rerio (zebrafish), and Macaca mulatta (macaque), as well as perform orthologous conversions among the supported species. In addition to providing a robust means of identifier conversion, BRM also incorporates a suite of microRNA (miRNA)-target databases upon which to query target genes or to perform reverse target lookups using gene identifiers.ResultsBRM has the capability to perform cross-species identifier lookups across common identifier types, directly integrate datasets across platform or species by performing identifier retrievals in the background, and retrieve miRNA targets from multiple databases simultaneously and integrate the resulting gene targets with experimental mRNA data. Here we use workflows provided in BRM to integrate RNA sequencing data across species to identify common biomarkers of exposure after treatment of human lung cells and zebrafish to benzo[a]pyrene (BAP). We further use the miRNA Target workflow to experimentally determine the role of miRNAs as regulators of BAP toxicity and identify the predicted functional consequences of miRNA-target regulation in our system. The output from BRM can easily and directly be uploaded to freely available visualization tools for further analysis. From these examples, we were able to identify an important role for several miRNAs as potential regulators of BAP toxicity in human lung cells associated with cell migration, cell communication, cell junction assembly and regulation of cell death.ConclusionsOverall, BRM provides bioinformatics tools to assist biologists having minimal programming skills with analysis and integration of high-content omics' data from various transcriptomic and proteomic platforms. BRM workflows were developed in Java and other open-source technologies and are served publicly using Apache Tomcat at https://cbb.pnnl.gov/brm/ .

Project description:BackgroundOne of the main issues in the automated protein function prediction (AFP) problem is the integration of multiple networked data sources. The UNIPred algorithm was thereby proposed to efficiently integrate -in a function-specific fashion- the protein networks by taking into account the imbalance that characterizes protein annotations, and to subsequently predict novel hypotheses about unannotated proteins. UNIPred is publicly available as R code, which might result of limited usage for non-expert users. Moreover, its application requires efforts in the acquisition and preparation of the networks to be integrated. Finally, the UNIPred source code does not handle the visualization of the resulting consensus network, whereas suitable views of the network topology are necessary to explore and interpret existing protein relationships.ResultsWe address the aforementioned issues by proposing UNIPred-Web, a user-friendly Web tool for the application of the UNIPred algorithm to a variety of biomolecular networks, already supplied by the system, and for the visualization and exploration of protein networks. We support different organisms and different types of networks -e.g., co-expression, shared domains and physical interaction networks. Users are supported in the different phases of the process, ranging from the selection of the networks and the protein function to be predicted, to the navigation of the integrated network. The system also supports the upload of user-defined protein networks. The vertex-centric and the highly interactive approach of UNIPred-Web allow a narrow exploration of specific proteins, and an interactive analysis of large sub-networks with only a few mouse clicks.ConclusionsUNIPred-Web offers a practical and intuitive (visual) guidance to biologists interested in gaining insights into protein biomolecular functions. UNIPred-Web provides facilities for the integration of networks, and supplies a framework for the imbalance-aware protein network integration of nine organisms, the prediction of thousands of GO protein functions, and a easy-to-use graphical interface for the visual analysis, navigation and interpretation of the integrated networks and of the functional predictions.
