SummaryDNA methylation microarray data may suffer from batch effects due to improper handling of the samples during the plating process. RANDOMIZE is a web-based application designed to perform randomization of relevant metadata to evenly distribute samples across the factors typically responsible for batch effects in DNA methylation microarrays, such as row, chips and plates. Randomization helps to reduce the likelihood of bias and impact of difference among groups. AvailabilityThe tool is freely available online at https://coph-usf.shinyapps.io/RANDOMIZE/ and can be accessed using any web browser. Sample data and tutorial is also available with the tool.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
