IPcc: a novel feature extraction method for accurate disease class discovery and prediction.

ABSTRACT: Gene expression profiling has gradually become a routine procedure for disease diagnosis and classification. In the past decade, many computational methods have been proposed, resulting in great improvements on various levels, including feature selection and algorithms for classification and clustering. In this study, we present iPcc, a novel method from the feature extraction perspective to further propel gene expression profiling technologies from bench to bedside. We define 'correlation feature space' for samples based on the gene expression profiles by iterative employment of Pearson's correlation coefficient. Numerical experiments on both simulated and real gene expression data sets demonstrate that iPcc can greatly highlight the latent patterns underlying noisy gene expression data and thus greatly improve the robustness and accuracy of the algorithms currently available for disease diagnosis and classification based on gene expression profiles.

Prediction of Recombination Spots Using Novel Hybrid Feature Extraction Method via Deep Learning Approach.

Project description:Meiotic recombination is the driving force of evolutionary development and an important source of genetic variation. The meiotic recombination does not take place randomly in a chromosome but occurs in some regions of the chromosome. A region in chromosomes with higher rate of meiotic recombination events are considered as hotspots and a region where frequencies of the recombination events are lower are called coldspots. Prediction of meiotic recombination spots provides useful information about the basic functionality of inheritance and genome diversity. This study proposes an intelligent computational predictor called iRSpots-DNN for the identification of recombination spots. The proposed predictor is based on a novel feature extraction method and an optimized deep neural network (DNN). The DNN was employed as a classification engine whereas, the novel features extraction method was developed to extract meaningful features for the identification of hotspots and coldspots across the yeast genome. Unlike previous algorithms, the proposed feature extraction avoids bias among different selected features and preserved the sequence discriminant properties along with the sequence-structure information simultaneously. This study also considered other effective classifiers named support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), and random forest (RF) to predict recombination spots. Experimental results on a benchmark dataset with 10-fold cross-validation showed that iRSpots-DNN achieved the highest accuracy, i.e., 95.81%. Additionally, the performance of the proposed iRSpots-DNN is significantly better than the existing predictors on a benchmark dataset.

Accurate Prediction of Epigenetic Multi-Targets with Graph Neural Network-Based Feature Extraction.

Project description:Epigenetics, referring to genetic modifications that change gene expression, but which are not encoded in DNA, has been shown to be related to oncology, with the potential to influence associated treatments. As such, epigenetic drugs comprise an important new field in cancer therapy; however, drug development is a high-cost and time-consuming procedure. Different epigenetic modifications, such as mutations in DNA methyltransferase and somatic mutations in core histone genes that lead to a global loss of the histone modifications, have innumerable relationships. In this article, we propose a graph neural network-based model for the extraction of molecular features, thus reducing the computational requirements. Through integration with a popular and efficient supervised learner, our model achieves higher prediction accuracy in both single- and multi-target tasks and can determine the pleiotropy associated with drugs, providing theoretical support for drug combination and discovery research.

PSSP-RFE: accurate prediction of protein structural class by recursive feature extraction from PSI-BLAST profile, physical-chemical property and functional annotations.

Project description:Protein structure prediction is critical to functional annotation of the massively accumulated biological sequences, which prompts an imperative need for the development of high-throughput technologies. As a first and key step in protein structure prediction, protein structural class prediction becomes an increasingly challenging task. Amongst most homological-based approaches, the accuracies of protein structural class prediction are sufficiently high for high similarity datasets, but still far from being satisfactory for low similarity datasets, i.e., below 40% in pairwise sequence similarity. Therefore, we present a novel method for accurate and reliable protein structural class prediction for both high and low similarity datasets. This method is based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) in conjunction with integrated features from position-specific score matrix (PSSM), PROFEAT and Gene Ontology (GO). A feature selection approach, SVM-RFE, is also used to rank the integrated feature vectors through recursively removing the feature with the lowest ranking score. The definitive top features selected by SVM-RFE are input into the SVM engines to predict the structural class of a query protein. To validate our method, jackknife tests were applied to seven widely used benchmark datasets, reaching overall accuracies between 84.61% and 99.79%, which are significantly higher than those achieved by state-of-the-art tools. These results suggest that our method could serve as an accurate and cost-effective alternative to existing methods in protein structural classification, especially for low similarity datasets.

STR-based feature extraction and selection for genetic feature discovery in neurological disease genes.

Project description:Gene expression, often determined by single nucleotide polymorphisms, short repeated sequences known as short tandem repeats (STRs), structural variants, and environmental factors, provides means for an organism to produce gene products necessary to live. Variation in expression levels, sometimes known as enrichment patterns, has been associated with disease progression. Thus, the STR enrichment patterns have recently gained interest as potential genetic markers for disease progression. However, to the best of our knowledge, we are unaware of any study that evaluates and explores STRs, particularly trinucleotide sequences, as machine learning features for classifying neurological disease genes for the purpose of discovering genetic features. Thus, in this paper, we proposed a new metric and a novel feature extraction and selection algorithm based on statistically significant STR-based features and their respective enrichment patterns to create a statistically significant feature set. The proposed new metric has shown that the neurological disease family genes have a non-random AA, AT, TA, TG, and TT enrichment pattern. This is an important result, as it supports prior research that has established that certain trinucleotides, such as AAT, ATA, ATT, TAT, and TTA, are favored during protein misfolding. In contrast, trinucleotides, such as TAA, TAG, and TGA, are favored during premature termination codon mutations as they are stop codons. This suggests that the metric has the potential to identify patterns that may be genetic features in a sample of neurological genes. Moreover, the practical performance and high prediction results of the statistically significant STR-based feature set indicate that variations in STR enrichment patterns can distinguish neurological disease genes. In conclusion, the proposed approach may have the potential to discover differential genetic features for other diseases.

A robust and accurate method for feature selection and prioritization from multi-class OMICs data.

Project description:Selecting relevant features is a common task in most OMICs data analysis, where the aim is to identify a small set of key features to be used as biomarkers. To this end, two alternative but equally valid methods are mainly available, namely the univariate (filter) or the multivariate (wrapper) approach. The stability of the selected lists of features is an often neglected but very important requirement. If the same features are selected in multiple independent iterations, they more likely are reliable biomarkers. In this study, we developed and evaluated the performance of a novel method for feature selection and prioritization, aiming at generating robust and stable sets of features with high predictive power. The proposed method uses the fuzzy logic for a first unbiased feature selection and a Random Forest built from conditional inference trees to prioritize the candidate discriminant features. Analyzing several multi-class gene expression microarray data sets, we demonstrate that our technique provides equal or better classification performance and a greater stability as compared to other Random Forest-based feature selection methods.

A new advanced in silico drug discovery method for novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) with tensor decomposition-based unsupervised feature extraction.

Project description:BACKGROUND:COVID-19 is a critical pandemic that has affected human communities worldwide, and there is an urgent need to develop effective drugs. Although there are a large number of candidate drug compounds that may be useful for treating COVID-19, the evaluation of these drugs is time-consuming and costly. Thus, screening to identify potentially effective drugs prior to experimental validation is necessary. METHOD:In this study, we applied the recently proposed method tensor decomposition (TD)-based unsupervised feature extraction (FE) to gene expression profiles of multiple lung cancer cell lines infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. We identified drug candidate compounds that significantly altered the expression of the 163 genes selected by TD-based unsupervised FE. RESULTS:Numerous drugs were successfully screened, including many known antiviral drug compounds such as C646, chelerythrine chloride, canertinib, BX-795, sorafenib, sorafenib, QL-X-138, radicicol, A-443654, CGP-60474, alvocidib, mitoxantrone, QL-XII-47, geldanamycin, fluticasone, atorvastatin, quercetin, motexafin gadolinium, trovafloxacin, doxycycline, meloxicam, gentamicin, and dibromochloromethane. The screen also identified ivermectin, which was first identified as an anti-parasite drug and recently the drug was included in clinical trials for SARS-CoV-2. CONCLUSIONS:The drugs screened using our strategy may be effective candidates for treating patients with COVID-19.

A Novel Feature Extraction Method with Feature Selection to Identify Golgi-Resident Protein Types from Imbalanced Data.

Project description:The Golgi Apparatus (GA) is a major collection and dispatch station for numerous proteins destined for secretion, plasma membranes and lysosomes. The dysfunction of GA proteins can result in neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, accurate identification of protein subGolgi localizations may assist in drug development and understanding the mechanisms of the GA involved in various cellular processes. In this paper, a new computational method is proposed for identifying cis-Golgi proteins from trans-Golgi proteins. Based on the concept of Common Spatial Patterns (CSP), a novel feature extraction technique is developed to extract evolutionary information from protein sequences. To deal with the imbalanced benchmark dataset, the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) is adopted. A feature selection method called Random Forest-Recursive Feature Elimination (RF-RFE) is employed to search the optimal features from the CSP based features and g-gap dipeptide composition. Based on the optimal features, a Random Forest (RF) module is used to distinguish cis-Golgi proteins from trans-Golgi proteins. Through the jackknife cross-validation, the proposed method achieves a promising performance with a sensitivity of 0.889, a specificity of 0.880, an accuracy of 0.885, and a Matthew's Correlation Coefficient (MCC) of 0.765, which remarkably outperforms previous methods. Moreover, when tested on a common independent dataset, our method also achieves a significantly improved performance. These results highlight the promising performance of the proposed method to identify Golgi-resident protein types. Furthermore, the CSP based feature extraction method may provide guidelines for protein function predictions.

A novel feature extraction scheme with ensemble coding for protein-protein interaction prediction.

Project description:Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play key roles in most cellular processes, such as cell metabolism, immune response, endocrine function, DNA replication, and transcription regulation. PPI prediction is one of the most challenging problems in functional genomics. Although PPI data have been increasing because of the development of high-throughput technologies and computational methods, many problems are still far from being solved. In this study, a novel predictor was designed by using the Random Forest (RF) algorithm with the ensemble coding (EC) method. To reduce computational time, a feature selection method (DX) was adopted to rank the features and search the optimal feature combination. The DXEC method integrates many features and physicochemical/biochemical properties to predict PPIs. On the Gold Yeast dataset, the DXEC method achieves 67.2% overall precision, 80.74% recall, and 70.67% accuracy. On the Silver Yeast dataset, the DXEC method achieves 76.93% precision, 77.98% recall, and 77.27% accuracy. On the human dataset, the prediction accuracy reaches 80% for the DXEC-RF method. We extended the experiment to a bigger and more realistic dataset that maintains 50% recall on the Yeast All dataset and 80% recall on the Human All dataset. These results show that the DXEC method is suitable for performing PPI prediction. The prediction service of the DXEC-RF classifier is available at http://ailab.ahu.edu.cn:8087/ DXECPPI/index.jsp.

Accurate prediction of protein structural class.

Project description:Because of the increasing gap between the data from sequencing and structural genomics, the accurate prediction of the structural class of a protein domain solely from the primary sequence has remained a challenging problem in structural biology. Traditional sequence-based predictors generally select several sequence features and then feed them directly into a classification program to identify the structural class. The current best sequence-based predictor achieved an overall accuracy of 74.1% when tested on a widely used, non-homologous benchmark dataset 25PDB. In the present work, we built a multiple linear regression (MLR) model to convert the 440-dimensional (440D) sequence feature vector extracted from the Position Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSM) of a protein domain to a 4-dimensinal (4D) structural feature vector, which could then be used to predict the four major structural classes. We performed 10-fold cross-validation and jackknife tests of the method on a large non-homologous dataset containing 8,244 domains distributed among the four major classes. The performance of our approach outperformed all of the existing sequence-based methods and had an overall accuracy of 83.1%, which is even higher than the results of those predicted secondary structure-based methods.

A novel method of amplification of FFPET derived-RNA enables accurate disease classification with microarrays

Project description:A new method for amplification and labeling of RNA is assessed that permits gene expression microarray analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue (i.e. FFPET) samples. Valid biological data was obtained using gene expression microarrays of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (i.e. DLBCL) FFPET samples. We examined 59 matched DLBCL patient samples, FFPET and fresh/frozen. The samples contained both prognostic subgroups of DLBCL: germinal center B-cell (i.e. GCB) and activated B-cell (ABC). Fresh/frozen (i.e. FF) samples were amplified by both the traditional Eberwine oligo-dT method and a new method described herein. The matching FFPET samples were also amplified using the new method. This study is a collaboration among Roche Molecular Diagnostics, British Columbia Cancer Agency, National Cancer Institute and Nugen Technologies (the maker of the WT-Ovation FFPET reagents).
