MULTI-OMICS

The Multi-Omics Hubs are intimately linked to the Data Science Hub through the use of data management and analytics tools for acquisition and mining of multi-omics data. The intersection of various types of -omics data provides fertile ground for new biological insight, necessitating new methods for data management and analysis. Currently, the Multi-Omics effort has two major areas of emphasis: epigenetics and the microbiome. Comprehensive analyses in both areas require the acquisition of multi-omic data to understand the chemical and biological information unique to individuals and communities. The Multi-Omics Hub provides services that include epigenetic-linked analytical methods and microbiome bioinformatics resources to enable a broad community of researchers to include epigenome and microbiome assessments in their research.
