Since its election victory in 2010, the party Fidesz, under Prime Minister Viktor Orban, has been remodelling not only Hungary's political system, but also its constitutional system. Unlike other states based on rule of law, the new Basic Law does not integrate Hungarian citizens beyond the limits of political, religious, or social differences. Rather, it polarises and excludes parts of the population. The Basic Law embodies a political thought based on the logic of friend or foe. The institutional structure formed with the help of the Basic Law is tailored to a one-party state. Moreover, the recent constitutional amendments show: the rule of law over politics has been replaced by the rule of politics over law. The construction of an authoritarian regime is underway. The Hungarian opposition and European institutions are now called upon. Adapted from the source document.

Multi-omics datasets can provide molecular insights beyond the sum of individual omics. Various tools have been recently developed to integrate such datasets, but there are limited strategies to systematically extract mechanistic hypotheses from them. Here, we present COSMOS (Causal Oriented Search of Multi-Omics Space), a method that integrates phosphoproteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics datasets. COSMOS combines extensive prior knowledge of signaling, metabolic, and gene regulatory networks with computational methods to estimate activities of transcription factors and kinases as well as network-level causal reasoning. COSMOS provides mechanistic hypotheses for experimental observations across multi-omics datasets. We applied COSMOS to a dataset comprising transcriptomics, phosphoproteomics, and metabolomics data from healthy and cancerous tissue from eleven clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients. COSMOS was able to capture relevant crosstalks within and between multiple omics layers, such as known ccRCC drug targets. We expect that our freely available method will be broadly useful to extract mechanistic insights from multi-omics studies. ; A.D. and E.G. were Marie-Curie Early Stage Researchers supported by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (675585 Marie-Curie ITN "SymBioSys") to J.S.R.
