Multiomics analysis that integrates different layers of profiles altogether is challenging, since the number of variables in profile substantially differ from each other. For instance, gene expression profile and genomic DNA methylation profile are often analyzed together; however, there are only tens of thousands of genes, whereas the number of DNA methylation sites are as many as tens of millions.
