RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become a cornerstone of transcriptomics, providing detailed insights into gene expression across diverse biological conditions and sample types. However, RNA-seq data are often confounded by batch effects, systematic non-biological variations that compromise data reliability and obscure true biological differences. To address these challenges, we introduce ComBat-ref, a refined batch effect correction method designed to enhance the statistical power and reliability of differential expression analysis in RNA-seq data.

During all periods of male ontogenesis, physiological processes responsible for the correct functioning of reproductive organs and spermatogenesis are under the influence of various factors (neuro-humoral, genetic, and paratypical). Recently, the attention of researchers has increasingly turned to the study of epigenetic factors. In scientific publications, one can increasingly find references to the direct role of microRNAs, small non-coding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, in the processes of development and functioning of reproductive organs.

Background: Interpreting biological system changes requires interpreting vast amounts of multi-omics data. While user-friendly tools exist for single-omics analysis, integrating multiple omics still requires bioinformatics expertise, limiting accessibility for the broader scientific community.
Results: BiomiX tackles the bottleneck in high-throughput omics data analysis, enabling efficient and integrated analysis of multiomics data obtained from two cohorts.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have detected several susceptibility variants for urinary bladder cancer, but how gene regulation affects disease development remains unclear. To extend GWAS findings, we conducted a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) using PrediXcan to predict gene expression levels in whole blood using genome-wide genotype data for 6180 bladder cancer cases and 5699 controls included in the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP). Logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted gene-level odds ratios (OR) per 1-standard deviation higher expression with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for bladder cancer risk.

Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is a reproductive disorder affecting couples worldwide. The underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive, even though emerging evidence has implicated endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). We investigated RM- and ERS-related genes to develop a diagnostic model that can enhance predictive ability.
