Undisclosed, unmet and neglected challenges in multi-omics studies

Sonia Tarazona et al. Nat Comput Sci. 2021 Jun.

Abstract

Multi-omics approaches have become a reality in both large genomics projects and small laboratories. However, the multi-omics research community still faces a number of issues that have either not been sufficiently discussed or for which current solutions are still limited. In this Perspective, we elaborate on these limitations and suggest points of attention for future research. We finally discuss new opportunities and challenges brought to the field by the rapid development of single-cell high-throughput molecular technologies.
