Abstract:
MultiOmicsAgent (MOAgent) is an innovative, Python-based open-source tool for biomarker discovery, utilizing machine learning techniques, specifically extreme gradient-boosted decision trees, to process multiomics data. With its cross-platform compatibility, user-oriented graphical interface, and well-documented API, MOAgent not only meets the needs of both coding professionals and those new to machine learning but also addresses common data analysis challenges like normalization, data incompleteness, class imbalances and data leakage between disjoint data splits. MOAgent's guided data analysis strategy opens up data-driven insights from digitized clinical biospecimen cohorts, making advanced data analysis accessible and reliable for a wide audience.
