Abstract
Enrichment analysis is a popular method for analyzing gene sets generated by genome-wide experiments. Here we present a significant update to one of the tools in this domain called Enrichr. Enrichr currently contains a large collection of diverse gene set libraries available for analysis and download. In total, Enrichr currently contains 180 184 annotated gene sets from 102 gene set libraries. New features have been added to Enrichr including the ability to submit fuzzy sets, upload BED files, improved application programming interface and visualization of the results as clustergrams. Overall, Enrichr is a comprehensive resource for curated gene sets and a search engine that accumulates biological knowledge for further biological discoveries. Enrichr is freely available at: http://amp.pharm.mssm.edu/Enrichr.

Integrative Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Analysis for the Study of Bladder Cancer

TL;DR: The urinary profiling study showed a relation with taurine and other amino acids perturbed pathways observed in BC tissue samples, and classified BC from non-tumor urine samples with good sensitivities and specificities, and could be used as a non-invasive tool for BC diagnosis and follow-up.

Novel Long Noncoding RNA, Macrophage Inflammation-Suppressing Transcript (MIST), Regulates Macrophage Activation During Obesity

TL;DR: A top candidate long noncoding RNA, macrophage inflammation-suppressing transcript (Mist), was downregulated in both peritoneal macrophages and adipose tissue Macrophages from high-fat diet–fed mice and human orthologous MIST was also downregulated by proinflammatory stimuli.

PLZF targets developmental enhancers for activation during osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells.

TL;DR: A latent enhancer within the ZBTB16/PLZF locus itself that became active, gained PLZF, p300 and Mediator binding and looped to the promoter of the nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) gene correlated with a decline in SAM levels, which is dependent on PLZf and is required for osteogenic differentiation.

Genome-Wide Analysis Reveals Mucociliary Remodeling of the Nasal Airway Epithelium Induced by Urban PM2.5.

TL;DR: It is found that PM2.5 organic extract, but not water-soluble, constituents elicited a potent, dose-dependent transcriptomic response from the mucociliary epithelium, and chronic OE stimulation induced mucus metaplasia-like remodeling characterized by increases in M UC5AC+ secretory cells and MUC5AC mucus secretions.
