ABSTRACT
With the continued development of molecular techniques, the quantity and variety of data obtained by researchers is growing at an exponential rate. This increase in data production makes data analysis and integration a major challenge and increasingly sophisticated methods are required to draw meaningful conclusions from the analysis. It is becoming extremely
