Abstract
Summary Sex and gender differences in different health scenarios have been thoroughly acknowledged in the literature, and yet, very scarcely analyzed. To fill the gap, here we present MetaFun, a web-based tool to meta-analyze multiple omics datasets with a sex-based perspective, and to combine different datasets to gain major statistical power and to assist the researcher in understanding these sex differences in the diseases under study. Metafun is freely available at bioinfo.cipf.es/metafun
Availability and implementation MetaFun is available under http://bioinfo.cipf.es/metafun. The backend has been implemented in R and Java and the frontend has been developed using Angular.
