Welcome to InMoose documentation!

InMoose is the INtegrated Multi Omic Open Source Environment.

InMoose is intended as a comprehensive state-of-the-art Python package for -omic data analysis. Its current focus is on analysis of bulk transcriptomic data (microarray and RNA-Seq). It comprises Python ports of popular and recognized R tools, name ComBat [Johnson2007], ComBat-Seq [Zhang2020], DESeq2 [Love2014], edgeR [Chen2016], limma [Ritchie2015] and splatter [Zappia2017].
