cfOmics: a cell-free multi-Omics database for diseases.

Liquid biopsy has emerged as a promising non-invasive approach for detecting, monitoring diseases, and predicting their recurrence. However, the effective utilization of liquid biopsy data to identify reliable biomarkers for various cancers and other diseases requires further exploration. Here, we present cfOmics, a web-accessible database (https://cfomics.ncRNAlab.org/) that integrates comprehensive multi-omics liquid biopsy data, including cfDNA, cfRNA based on next-generation sequencing, and proteome, metabolome based on mass-spectrometry data. As the first multi-omics database in the field, cfOmics encompasses a total of 17 distinct data types and 13 specimen variations across 69 disease conditions, with a collection of 11345 samples. Moreover, cfOmics includes reported potential biomarkers for reference. To facilitate effective analysis and visualization of multi-omics data, cfOmics offers powerful functionalities to its users. These functionalities include browsing, profile visualization, the Integrative Genomic Viewer, and correlation analysis, all centered around genes, microbes, or end-motifs. The primary objective of cfOmics is to assist researchers in the field of liquid biopsy by providing comprehensive multi-omics data. This enables them to explore cell-free data and extract profound insights that can significantly impact disease diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and management.
