Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM2) is a transmembrane of the immunoglobulin superfamily and crucial signaling hub for multiple pathological pathways that mediate immunity. Although increasing evidence supports vital role TREM2 in tumorigenesis some cancers, no systematic pan-cancer analysis available. Thus, we aimed to explore prognostic value, investigate potential immunological functions, across 33 cancer types. Based datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Cell Line...

Although an intriguing potential association of the gut microbiome with Alzheimer's disease (AD) has attracted recent interest, few studies have directly assessed this relationship or underlying mechanism. Here, we compared microbiota composition and functional differentiation senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) mice control resistant 1 (SAMR1) using 16S rRNA gene metagenomic sequencing analysis, respectively. Specifically, results showed that SAMP8 displayed a characteristic...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most prevalent endocrine diseases in world. Recent studies have shown that dysbiosis gut microbiota may be an important contributor to T2DM pathogenesis. However, mechanisms underlying roles microbiome and fecal metabolome not been characterized. Recently, Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat model was developed study clinical symptoms characteristics human T2DM. To further characterize pathogenesis, we combined multi-omics techniques, including 16S rRNA gene...

In the R programming language, de facto standard framework for drawing rectangular coordinates is ggplot2. The most important feature of ggplot2 that it object-oriented and uses plus sign to overlay various objects. field circular visualization, circlize a popular software, but based on procedural programming. Making can make logic written code clearer improve reusability code. this work, we introduce circlizePlus, which redesigns concepts in visualization into several S4 classes. It also...

Background The Polygenic Score (PGS) Catalog is a public database dedicated to storing polygenic risk scores. To date, the has included 5,022 scores associated with 656 different traits. Although PGS offers an official resource representational state transfer (REST) application programming interface (API), there no ready-made data client tailored for any specific language. Researchers are thus required invest time in becoming familiar structure of REST API and implement corresponding their...
