We analyzed reasons why understudied genes are abandoned by researchers using high-throughput -omics experiments...

...and combined our insights into an app that researchers can use to identify understudied genes in their experimental results and characterize their tractability for future research.

We also found that articles about understudied genes tend to accrue more citations.

From the Discussion: "We believe that enabling scientists to consciously engage with bias in research target selection will enable more biomedical researchers to participate in unknomics..."
