abstract = {Meta-analysis techniques allow researchers to jointly analyse different studies to determine
common effects. In the field of transcriptomics, these methods have gained popularity in recent
years due to the increasing number of datasets that are available in public repositories. Despite
this, there is a limited number of statistical software packages that implement proper meta-analysis
functionalities for this type of data. This article describes DExMA, an R package that provides a
set of functions for performing gene expression meta-analyses, from data downloading to results
visualization. Additionally, we implemented functions to control the number of missing genes, which
can be a major issue when comparing studies generated with different analytical platforms. DExMA
is freely available in the Bioconductor repository.},
