Using CRC as a paradigm, we describe the application of the NetGestalt framework to provide easy access and interpretation of multi-omics data.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: The NetGestalt CRC portal includes genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and clinical data for the TCGA CRC cohort, data from other CRC tumor cohorts and cell lines, and existing knowledge on pathways and networks, giving a total of more than 17 million data points. The portal provides features for data query, upload, visualization and integration. These features can be flexibly combined to serve various needs of the users, maximizing the synergy among omics data, human visualization and quantitative analysis. Using three case studies, we demonstrate that the portal not only provides user-friendly data query and visualization but also enables efficient data integration within a single omics data type, across multiple omics data types, and over biological networks.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability and implementation: The NetGestalt CRC portal can be freely accessed at http:\/\/www.netgestalt.org.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0bing.zhang@vanderbilt.edu<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary Information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btu834","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,20]],"date-time":"2014-12-20T04:13:19Z","timestamp":1419048799000},"page":"1436-1443","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Empowering biologists with multi-omics data: colorectal cancer as a paradigm"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Jing","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Biomedical Informatics, 2Advanced Computing Center for Research and Education, 3Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and 4Department of Cancer Biology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhiao","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Biomedical Informatics, 2Advanced Computing Center for Research and Education, 3Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and 4Department of Cancer Biology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, USA"},{"name":"1 Department of Biomedical Informatics, 2Advanced Computing Center for Research and Education, 3Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and 4Department of Cancer Biology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Biomedical Informatics, 2Advanced Computing Center for Research and Education, 3Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and 4Department of Cancer Biology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Biomedical Informatics, 2Advanced Computing Center for Research and Education, 3Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and 4Department of Cancer Biology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, USA"},{"name":"1 Department of Biomedical Informatics, 2Advanced Computing Center for Research and Education, 3Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and 4Department of Cancer Biology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023051308504197400_btu834-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"603","DOI":"10.1038\/nature11003","article-title":"The Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia enables predictive modelling of anticancer drug sensitivity","volume":"483","author":"Barretina","year":"2012","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"2023051308504197400_btu834-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1253","DOI":"10.1109\/TVCG.2008.117","article-title":"Cerebral: visualizing multiple experimental conditions on a graph with biological context","volume":"14","author":"Barsky","year":"2008","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
