Mapping transcription mechanisms from multimodal genomic data.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The rabbit is an important model organism used in a wide range of biomedical research. However, the rabbit genome is still sparsely annotated, thus prohibiting extensive functional analysis of gene sets derived from whole-genome experiments. We developed a web-based application that provides augmented annota...
