Motivation: Analysis of gene and isoform expression levels is becoming critical for the detailed understanding of biochemical mechanisms. In addition, integrating RNA-seq data with other omics data types, such as proteomics and metabolomics, provides a strong approach for consolidating our understanding of biological processes across various organizational tiers, thus promoting the identification of potential therapeutic targets.

Results: We present our pipeline, called MultiOmicsIntegrator (MOI), an inclusive pipeline for comprehensive omics analyses. MOI represents a unified approach that performs in-depth individual analyses of diverse omics. Specifically, exhaustive analysis of RNA-seq data at the level of genes, isoforms of genes, as well as miRNA is offered, coupled with functional annotation and structure prediction of these transcripts. Additionally, proteomics and metabolomics data are supported providing a holistic view of biological systems. Finally, MOI has tools to integrate simultaneously multiple and diverse omics datasets, with both data- and function-driven approaches, fostering a deeper understanding of intricate biological interactions.

Availability And Implementation: MOI and ReadTheDocs.

Gut dysbiosis serves as an underlying risk factor for the development of hypertension. The resolution of this dysbiosis has emerged as a promising strategy in improving hypertension. Food-derived bioactive protein peptides have become increasingly more attractive in ameliorating hypertension, primarily due to their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities.

Background: The recent European-ancestry based genome-wide association study (GWAS) of Alzheimer disease (AD) by Bellenguez2022 has identified 75 significant genetic loci, but only a few have been functionally mapped to effector gene level. Besides the large-scale RNA expression, protein and metabolite levels are key molecular traits bridging the genetic variants to AD risk, and thus we decided to integrate them into the genetic analysis to pinpoint key proteins and metabolites underlying AD etiology. Few studies have generated more than one layer of post-transcriptional phenotypes, limiting the scale of biological translation of disease modifying treatments.

Background: Recent single-cell omics analyses have revealed that microglia change into reactive microglia when Aβ accumulates in the brain and exhibit Aβ phagocytosis. However, reactive microglia are less likely to be induced in TREM2 mutation carriers. This microglia-centred pathological mechanism may be considered one of the pathologies of AD.

Background: Protective brain barriers, such as blood-brain barrier, become dysfunctional with age. The BBB is a dynamic and selective barrier, gating the passage of molecules and cells to and from the brain. The function of this barrier is critical for the maintenance of brain homeostasis.

Background: Despite recent breakthroughs, Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains untreatable. In addition, we are still lacking robust biomarkers for early diagnosis and promising novel targets for therapeutic intervention. To enable utilizing the entirety of molecular evidence in the discovery and prioritization of potential novel biomarkers and targets, we have developed the AD Atlas, a network-based multi-omics data integration platform.
