Smccnet 2.0: a comprehensive tool for multi-omics network inference with shiny visualization.

Sparse multiple canonical correlation network analysis (SmCCNet) is a machine learning technique for integrating omics data along with a variable of interest (e.g., phenotype of complex disease), and reconstructing multi-omics networks that are specific to this variable. We present the second-generation SmCCNet (SmCCNet 2.0) that adeptly integrates single or multiple omics data types along with a quantitative or binary phenotype of interest. In addition, this new package offers a streamlined setup process that can be configured manually or automatically, ensuring a flexible and user-friendly experience. AVAILABILITY : This package is available in both CRAN: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/SmCCNet/index.html and Github: https://github.com/KechrisLab/SmCCNet under the MIT license. The network visualization tool is available at https://smccnet.shinyapps.io/smccnetnetwork/ .
