There are many possibilities to analyze molecular Signatures. They can be compared to each other, meta-signature via Meta-Analysis can be derived, functional enriched terms can be assessed as well as Lifespan Factors identified.

It is possible to make such analyses just like a game. In its essence a molecular Signature can be treated basically as a list of Factors. So even non-scientist can play with them and see what they can discover. However, it needs to be very visually and interactive as well as intuitive.

In order to make this possible first of all identify all aging-related micro-array Datasets References. Classify them as Signatures

Include online resources (e.g. GEO, ArrayExpress) on gene expression data in the Links app to establish connection to this platforms. Classify them as online resource and Signatures.

It may also possible to upload specific Profiles and Signatures on to Denigma in order to transform them into a unified format amenable to computation and comparisons. Though the procedure and best format need to be established to make this scalable.
