MetaOmics: analysis pipeline and browser-based software suite for transcriptomic meta-analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
SUMMARY: The rapid advances of omics technologies have generated abundant genomic data in public repositories and effective analytical approaches are critical to fully decipher biological knowledge inside these data. Meta-analysis combines multiple studies of a related hypothesis to improve statistical power, accuracy and reproducibility beyond individual study analysis. To date, many transcriptomic meta-analysis methods have been developed, yet few thoughtful guidelines exist. Here, we introduce a comprehensive analytical pipeline and browser-based software suite, called MetaOmics, to meta-analyze multiple transcriptomic studies for various biological purposes, including quality control, differential expression analysis, pathway enrichment analysis, differential co-expression network analysis, prediction, clustering and dimension reduction. The pipeline includes many public as well as >10 in-house transcriptomic meta-analytic methods with data-driven and biological-aim-driven strategies, hands-on protocols, an intuitive user interface and step-by-step instructions. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: MetaOmics is freely available at https://github.com/metaOmics/metaOmics. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
