How to find out what biological effects a molecule has, without having a specific mechanism or pathway in mind?
I'm interested in finding what biological effects a (small) molecule has in a high-throughput and "low-assumption" way. I'm mainly interested in cell-based assays.
Background: There are easy/...

Fisher's Method to melt p-values for CpG sites annotated to the same gene?
I have some data I am working with, and I am curious if I am able to combine p-values from a paired t-test for CpG sites in the genome using Fisher's Method to get one p-value for each unique gene. ...

Is there a photobleaching-resistant, cell-permeant viability stain in the far red part of the spectrum?
I am looking for a live-cell–impermeable dye for viability. (The cells cannot be permeabilized and fixed in this experiment.) I would prefer with excitation and emission spectra similar to Cy5, but I ...
