Abstract

In the past few years, large-scale, high-throughput multi-omics experiments and improved clinical measurements have led to the generation of a plethora of multi-modal data sets related to many metabolic diseases (MetS), for example type 1 diabetes (T1D), obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), etc. In literature there are many integration strategies discussed for example early, intermediate and late integration [1]. The process of early integration involves merging multiple omics information into a unified matrix whereas intermediate integration involves transforming the source datasets into representations that are both common and specific to omics. The late integration involves the individual analysis of each omics dataset, followed by the combination of their respective predictions to get a result [1]. In the Figure 1 an example of late integration described in the context of MetS.This editorial summarizes the contribution to the special issue of Frontiers in Endocrinology, "Integrative Multi-Modal, Multi-Omics Analytics for the Better Understanding of Metabolic Diseases," between November 2021 and July 2023.
