MeTEor: A New R Shiny App for Longitudinal Metabolomics Analysis

The Peter L. Reichertz Institute for Medical Informatics has developed MeTEor (MEtabolite Trajectory ExplORer), an R Shiny app designed to simplify the analysis of longitudinal metabolomics data. MeTEor addresses challenges such as data complexity and temporal variability, providing researchers with accessible tools for exploring time-series omics datasets without requiring advanced programming expertise.

New Recommendations for Optimal Sequencing Depth in Alternative Splicing Studies

As part of an international research team led by Olga Tsoy from the University of Hamburg, the Division of Data Science in Biomedicine contributed to the development of new guidelines for determining the optimal sequencing depth in RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) studies focusing on alternative splicing (AS).
