IntLIM 2.0: identifying multi-omic relationships dependent on discrete or continuous phenotypic measurements

Motivation: IntLIM uncovers phenotype-dependent linear associations between two types of analytes (e.g. genes and metabolites) in a multi-omic dataset, which may reflect chemically or biologically relevant relationships. Results: The new IntLIM R package includes newly added support for generalized data types, covariate correction, continuous phenotypic measurements, model validation and unit testing. IntLIM analysis uncovered biologically relevant gene-metabolite associations in two separate datasets, and the run time is improved over baseline R functions by multiple orders of magnitude. Availability and implementation: IntLIM is available as an R package with a detailed vignette (https://github.com/ncats/IntLIM) and as an R Shiny app (see ) (https://intlim.ncats.io/).
