Harmonizome 3.0

[eKathleenCarter]

Harmonizome is a multi-omics data integration platform developed by the Ma’ayan Lab. Genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and related fields continue to advance technologically and create large quantities of data. Additionally curation efforts have succeeded in mining and aggregating text from decades of biomedical literature into online databases.

It has become more important than ever to harmonize and standardize disparate formats and serve that information to facilitate data reusability. The Harmonizome website allows users to view, download, and visualize data from 138 datasets from some of the most-used omics platforms from across the web. In order to accommodate different types of datasets with a large variety of attribute types, the Harmonizome web application and associated API provide an abstracted framework to store and serve metadata and functional associations from processed datasets.
