MetaFun: Unveiling Sex-based Differences in Multiple Transcriptomic Studies through Comprehensive Functional Meta-analysis

Abstract

Sex and gender differences in different health scenarios has been thoroughly acknowledged in the literature, and yet, very scarcely analyzed. To fill the gap, here we present MetaFun, which allows to meta-analyze multiple omics datasets with a sex-based perspective, and to combine different datasets to gain major statistical power and to assist the researcher in understanding these sex differences in the diseases under study.
