Abstract
When Los Angeles is mentioned, cycling is usually not the first thing that comes to mind. However, during my past 10 years in LA studying molecular biology and bioinformatics, my bike trips through the geographical space of LA have inspired many ideas in my research in spatial data analysis in bioinformatics. I have written software to bring decades of research in geospatial data analysis to spatial -omics, as my trips make me ponder on spatial phenomena in general.

A critical review of machine-learning for “multi-omics” marine metabolite datasets
AbstractDuring the last decade, genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and other omics datasets have been generated for a wide range of marine organisms, and even more are still on the way. Marine organisms possess unique and diverse ...
Highlights- Recent progress in the use and integration of “multi-omics” techniques to identify novel marine metabolites.
- The multi-omics data integration tools developed for analyzing “multi-omics” data.
- The requirement of ML for analyzing “...
Geospatial tools address emerging issues in spatial ecology: a review and commentary on the Special Issue
Spatial EcologySpatial ecology focuses on the role of space and time in ecological processes and events from a local to a global scale and is particularly relevant in developing environmental policy and (mandated) monitoring goals. In other words, spatial ecology is ...
Integration of multi-omics data for integrative gene regulatory network inference
Gene regulatory networks provide comprehensive insights and in-depth understanding of complex biological processes. The molecular interactions of gene regulatory networks are inferred from a single type of genomic data, e.g., gene expression data in ...
