OmicsMiner: A Biological Data Mining Framework

Abstract

OmicsMiner is a computational platform providing systematic access to state-of-the-art data processing and mining methods with the goal of facilitating the design of customized pipelines for processing a diverse range of biological data sets. Many built-in methods are provided for preprocessing, feature selection, clustering and classification of complex datasets. The platform supports convenient integration of additional algorithms that can further expand its functionality. OmicsMiner also provides convenient and concise interactive graphical user interfaces for data processing. OmicsMiner is a Java program that is platform-independent and does not require installation. It is available at http://www.bcf.ku.edu/ software.shtml Journal of Data Mining in Genomics & Proteomics J o u rn al of Da ta M in in g in Gen o m ic s & Proteom ic s
