Supporting data for "MetGENE: Gene-centric Metabolomics Information Retrieval Tool"

Biomedical research often involves contextual integration of multi-modal and multi-omic data in search of mechanisms for improved diagnosis, treatment and monitoring. Researchers need to access information from diverse sources comprising data in various and sometimes incomplete formats. The downstream processing of the data, to decipher mechanisms by reconstructing networks and developing quantitative models, warrants considerable effort. <br>MetGENE is a knowledge-based, gene-centric data aggregator that hierarchically retrieves information about the gene(s), their related pathway(s), reaction(s), metabolite(s), and metabolomic studies from standard data repositories under one dashboard to enable ease of access through centralization of relevant information. Further, the information can be contextualized by filtering along species, anatomy (tissue) and condition (disease or phenotype). <br>MetGENE is an open source tool that aggregates metabolite information for a given gene(s) and presents them in different computable formats, e.g., JSON, for further integration with other omics studies.
