UC San Diego Bioengineers Create First Online Search Engine for Functional Genomics Data

Press Release | University of California San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering | April 28, 2016

University of California San Diego bioengineers have created what they believe to be the first online search engine for functional genomics data. This work from the Sheng Zhong bioengineering lab at UC San Diego was just published online by the journal Nucleic Acids Research. This new search engine, called GeNemo, is free for public use at: http://www.genemo.org. GeNemo addresses a pressing challenge: effectively searching functional genomic data from online data repositories...
