Comparative analysis among multiple gene lists on their functional features is now a routine task due to the advancement of high-throughput experiments. Several enrichment analysis tools were developed in the past. However, these tools mainly focus on one gene list and contain only gene ontology or interaction features. What makes it worse, comparative investigation and customized feature set reanalysis are still unavailable. Therefore, we constructed the YMLA (Yeast Multiple List Analyzer) platform in this research. YMLA includes 39 yeast features and facilitates comparative analysis among multiple gene lists via tabular views, heatmaps, and network plots. Moreover, the customized feature set reanalysis function was implemented in YMLA to help form mechanism hypotheses based on a selected enriched feature subset. We demonstrated the biological applicability of YMLA via example lists consisting of genes with top/bottom translation efficiency values. The analysis results provided by YMLA reveal novel facts consistent with previous experiments. YMLA is available at https://cosbi7.ee.ncku.edu.tw/YMLA/.

Background: Many tools have been developed to predict the risk of diabetes in a population without diabetes; however, these tools have shortcomings that include the omission of race, inclusion of variables that are not readily available to patients, and low sensitivity or specificity.

Objective: We aimed to develop and validate an easy, systematic index for predicting diabetes risk in the Asian population.

Methods: We collected the data from the NAGALA (NAfld [nonalcoholic fatty liver disease] in the Gifu Area, Longitudinal Analysis) database.

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death globally, and many humanitarian crises occur in countries with high NCD burdens. Peer support is a promising approach to improve NCD care in these settings. However, evidence on peer support for people living with NCDs in humanitarian settings is limited.

Background: Biosecurity measures are crucial to the introduction and spread of pathogens both within and between farms. External biosecurity focuses on preventing pathogens from entering or leaving the farm, while internal biosecurity aims to limit or stop the spread of pathogens within the farm. Implementing biosecurity measures not only protects animals from disease but also has positive effects on productivity, welfare and farm profitability.
