GlobeCorr: interactive globe-based visualization for correlation datasets.

Motivation: Increasingly complex omics datasets are being generated, along with associated diverse categories of metadata (environmental, clinical, etc.). Looking at the correlation between these variables can be critical to identify potential confounding factors and novel relationships.

Integrative chromatin domain annotation through graph embedding of Hi-C data.

Motivation: The organization of the genome into domains plays a central role in gene expression and other cellular activities. Researchers identify genomic domains mainly through two views: 1D functional assays such as ChIP-seq, and chromatin conformation assays such as Hi-C. Fully understanding domains requires integrative modeling that combines these two views.

Relative Contribution of Obesity, Sedentary Behaviors and Dietary Habits to Sleep Duration Among Kuwaiti Adolescents.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether body mass index (BMI), eating habits and sedentary behaviours were associated with sleep duration among Kuwaiti adolescents. The study is part of the Arab Teens Lifestyle Study (ATLS), which is a school-based cross-sectional multi-center collaborative study. A sample of 906 adolescents (boys and girls) aged 14-19 years was randomly selected from 6 Kuwaiti Governances using a multistage stratified cluster sampling technique.
