The Paipu framework enables creation of a large-scale mammalian cancer transcriptomics atlas (opens in new tab)

A plethora of studies have identified shared molecular mechanisms involved in tumor development across humans and other mammalian species. While these two-species analyses advance understanding of human disease, extending them across many species would provide evolutionary insight into molecular mechanisms driving human cancers. However, this expansion requires knowledge transfer and harmonization across species. Genomic differences between species, including variation in genome annotation qu...
