Find My Understudied Genes (FMUG) is a data-driven tool to help biomedical researchers identify understudied genes and characterize their tractability for future research.
Users submit a list of human genes (presumably from a high-throughput -omics experiment) and can filter these genes down based on a large list of factors, including:
- Number of articles about gene
- Probability of differential expression
- Homology in model organisms
- Availability of reagents
- Number of articles about relationship between gene and disease
and many more!
You can read more about principles guiding the design of FMUG in our paper at eLife. Please cite this paper if you use FMUG for your research.
