Recent years have seen the rapid growth of large-scale biological data, but the effective mining and modeling of ‘big data’ for new biological discoveries remains a significant challenge. A new study reanalyzes expression profiles from the Gene Expression Omnibus to make novel discoveries about genes involved in DNA damage repair and genome instability in cancer.
