Example Sentences

However, because of the large amount of data required for calculating differential dependencies across gene networks, such analytics are often not feasible across the limited -omics datasets of rare or emerging diseases.

Many computational algorithms have been developed to predict gene functions from omics data. As the omics era starts with completely sequenced genomes, early efforts on algorithm development focused on exploring genomics data for gene function prediction.
