News & Updates

• NEW To help sustain our platform, we now offer self-paced Omics Data Science training coupled with AI assistant, Omics Data Science book and Pro version running on cloud or your server.
• TIP Use OmicsNet for multi-omics network analysis, ExpressAnalyst for gene expression analysis or EcoToxXplorer for q-PCR analysis;
• TIP For miRNetR users, the path to sqlite database is at: https://www.xialab.ca/rest/sqlite/mir2gene.sqlite;
• Please use OmicsForum for discussion and troubleshooting requests so that more people can benefit (invitation code: xialab_omics!).
