The accumulation of these omics data far outpaces the rate at which biologists can mine and generate new hypothesis to test experimentally. There is an urgent need to develop a myriad of powerful tools to efficiently and effectively search and filter these resources to address specific post-GWAS functional genomics questions. However, to date, these resources are scattered across several databases and often lack a unified portal for data annotation and analytics. In addition, existing tools to analyze and visualize these databases are highly fragmented, resulting researchers to access multiple applications and manual interventions for each gene or variant in an ad hoc fashion until all the questions are answered.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this study, we present GENEASE, a web-based one-stop bioinformatics tool designed to not only query and explore multi-omics and phenotype databases (e.g. GTEx, ClinVar, dbGaP, GWAS Catalog, ENCODE, Roadmap Epigenomics, KEGG, Reactome, Gene and Phenotype Ontology) in a single web interface but also to perform seamless post genome-wide association downstream functional and overlap analysis for non-coding regulatory variants. GENEASE accesses over 50 different databases in public domain including model organism-specific databases to facilitate gene\/variant and disease exploration, enrichment and overlap analysis in real time. It is a user-friendly tool with point-and-click interface containing links for support information including user manual and examples.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title><jats:p>GENEASE can be accessed freely at http:\/\/research.cchmc.org\/mershalab\/GENEASE\/login.html.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title><jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/bty182","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,23]],"date-time":"2018-03-23T20:50:40Z","timestamp":1521838240000},"page":"3160-3168","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["GENEASE: real time bioinformatics tool for multi-omics and disease ontology exploration, analysis and visualization"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Sudhir","family":"Ghandikota","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, USA"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital Medical Center, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, USA"}]},{"given":"Gurjit K Khurana","family":"Hershey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital Medical Center, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, USA"}]},{"given":"Tesfaye B","family":"Mersha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital Medical Center, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, USA"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012704191012300_bty182-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e26781.","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0026781","article-title":"NNAlign: a web-based prediction method allowing non-expert end-user discovery of sequence motifs in quantitative peptide data","volume":"6","author":"Andreatta","year":"2011","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"2023012704191012300_bty182-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"12","DOI":"10.1111\/j.2517-6161.1995.tb02031.x","article-title":"Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing","volume":"57","author":"Benjamini","year":"1995","journal-title":"J.
