Abstract
The increasing availability of multi-omic data has enabled the discovery of disease biomarkers in different scales. Understanding the functional interaction between multi-omic biomarkers is becoming increasingly important due to its great potential for providing insights of the underlying molecular mechanism. Leveraging multiple biological network databases, we integrated the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), genes/proteins and metabolites, and developed an R package Multi-omic Network Explorer Tool (MoNET) for multi-omic network analysis. This new tool enables users to not only track down the interaction of SNPs/genes with metabolome level, but also trace back for the potential risk variants/regulators given altered genes/metabolites. MoNET is expected to advance our understanding of the multi-omic findings by unveiling their transomic interactions and is likely to generate new hypotheses for further validation. The MoNET package is freely available on https://github.com/JW-Yan/MONET. Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
