DeepCpG: accurate prediction of single-cell DNA methylation states using deep learning.

ABSTRACT: Recent technological advances have enabled DNA methylation to be assayed at single-cell resolution. However, current protocols are limited by incomplete CpG coverage and hence methods to predict missing methylation states are critical to enable genome-wide analyses. We report DeepCpG, a computational approach based on deep neural networks to predict methylation states in single cells. We evaluate DeepCpG on single-cell methylation data from five cell types generated using alternative sequencing protocols. DeepCpG yields substantially more accurate predictions than previous methods. Additionally, we show that the model parameters can be interpreted, thereby providing insights into how sequence composition affects methylation variability.

DNA Methylation Markers for Pan-Cancer Prediction by Deep Learning.

Project description:For cancer diagnosis, many DNA methylation markers have been identified. However, few studies have tried to identify DNA methylation markers to diagnose diverse cancer types simultaneously, i.e., pan-cancers. In this study, we tried to identify DNA methylation markers to differentiate cancer samples from the respective normal samples in pan-cancers. We collected whole genome methylation data of 27 cancer types containing 10,140 cancer samples and 3386 normal samples, and divided all samples into five data sets, including one training data set, one validation data set and three test data sets. We applied machine learning to identify DNA methylation markers, and specifically, we constructed diagnostic prediction models by deep learning. We identified two categories of markers: 12 CpG markers and 13 promoter markers. Three of 12 CpG markers and four of 13 promoter markers locate at cancer-related genes. With the CpG markers, our model achieved an average sensitivity and specificity on test data sets as 92.8% and 90.1%, respectively. For promoter markers, the average sensitivity and specificity on test data sets were 89.8% and 81.1%, respectively. Furthermore, in cell-free DNA methylation data of 163 prostate cancer samples, the CpG markers achieved the sensitivity as 100%, and the promoter markers achieved 92%. For both marker types, the specificity of normal whole blood was 100%. To conclude, we identified methylation markers to diagnose pan-cancers, which might be applied to liquid biopsy of cancers.

Accurate prediction of functional effect of single amino acid variants with deep learning.

Project description:The assessment of functional effect of amino acid variants is a critical biological problem in proteomics for clinical medicine and protein engineering. Although natively occurring variants offer insights into deleterious variants, high-throughput deep mutational experiments enable comprehensive investigation of amino acid variants for a given protein. However, these mutational experiments are too expensive to dissect millions of variants on thousands of proteins. Thus, computational approaches have been proposed, but they heavily rely on hand-crafted evolutionary conservation, limiting their accuracy. Recent advancement in transformers provides a promising solution to precisely estimate the functional effects of protein variants on high-throughput experimental data. Here, we introduce a novel deep learning model, namely Rep2Mut-V2, which leverages learned representation from transformer models. Rep2Mut-V2 significantly enhances the prediction accuracy for 27 types of measurements of functional effects of protein variants. In the evaluation of 38 protein datasets with 118,933 single amino acid variants, Rep2Mut-V2 achieved an average Spearman's correlation coefficient of 0.7. This surpasses the performance of six state-of-the-art methods, including the recently released methods ESM, DeepSequence and EVE. Even with limited training data, Rep2Mut-V2 outperforms ESM and DeepSequence, showing its potential to extend high-throughput experimental analysis for more protein variants to reduce experimental cost. In conclusion, Rep2Mut-V2 provides accurate predictions of the functional effects of single amino acid variants of protein coding sequences. This tool can significantly aid in the interpretation of variants in human disease studies.

Accurate age prediction from blood using a small set of DNA methylation sites and a cohort-based machine learning algorithm

Project description:Chronological age prediction from DNA methylation sheds light on human aging, indicates poor health and predicts lifespan. Previous studies developed methylation clocks based on linear regression models on methylation array data. While accurate, these models are limited to fixed-rate changes in methylation levels across age. Moreover, the high cost of methylation arrays, compared to targeted-PCR sequencing, hinders widespread utility of such predictors. We present an AI-based alternative termed GP-age, which uses a non-parametric approach based on Gaussian Process Regression of a large cohort of ~12K blood methylomes. Given a new blood sample, methylation levels are compared to the cohort samples, which are then weighted to predict the query age. Using only 30 CpG sites, our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methylation clocks that use hundreds of sites, with a median error of 2.1 years (on held-out data). Our model was also applied to sequencing-based data yielding highly accurate predictions. Overall, we provide an accessible alternative to current array-based methylation clocks, with future applications in aging research, forensic profiling, and monitoring epigenetic processes in transplantation medicine and cancer.

DeepDISE: DNA Binding Site Prediction Using a Deep Learning Method.

Project description:It is essential for future research to develop a new, reliable prediction method of DNA binding sites because DNA binding sites on DNA-binding proteins provide critical clues about protein function and drug discovery. However, the current prediction methods of DNA binding sites have relatively poor accuracy. Using 3D coordinates and the atom-type of surface protein atom as the input, we trained and tested a deep learning model to predict how likely a voxel on the protein surface is to be a DNA-binding site. Based on three different evaluation datasets, the results show that our model not only outperforms several previous methods on two commonly used datasets, but also demonstrates its robust performance to be consistent among the three datasets. The visualized prediction outcomes show that the binding sites are also mostly located in correct regions. We successfully built a deep learning model to predict the DNA binding sites on target proteins. It demonstrates that 3D protein structures plus atom-type information on protein surfaces can be used to predict the potential binding sites on a protein. This approach should be further extended to develop the binding sites of other important biological molecules.

Accurate Prediction of y Ions in Beam-Type Collision-Induced Dissociation Using Deep Learning.

Project description:Peptide fragmentation spectra contain critical information for the identification of peptides by mass spectrometry. In this study, we developed an algorithm that more accurately predicts the high-intensity peaks among the peptide spectra. The training data are composed of 180,833 peptides from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Proteomics Identification database, which were fragmented by either quadrupole time-of-flight or triple-quadrupole collision-induced dissociation methods. Exploratory analysis of the peptide fragmentation pattern was focused on the highest intensity peaks that showed proline, peptide length, and a sliding window of four amino acid combination that can be exploited as key features. The amino acid sequence of each peptide and each of the key features were allocated to different layers of the model, where recurrent neural network, convolutional neural network, and fully connected neural network were used. The trained model, PrAI-frag, accurately predicts the fragmentation spectra compared to previous machine learning-based prediction algorithms. The model excels at high-intensity peak prediction, which is advantageous to selective/multiple reaction monitoring application. PrAI-frag is provided via a Web server which can be used for peptides of length 6-15.

Accurate ethnicity prediction from placental DNA methylation data.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The influence of genetics on variation in DNA methylation (DNAme) is well documented. Yet confounding from population stratification is often unaccounted for in DNAme association studies. Existing approaches to address confounding by population stratification using DNAme data may not generalize to populations or tissues outside those in which they were developed. To aid future placental DNAme studies in assessing population stratification, we developed an ethnicity classifier, PlaNET (Placental DNAme Elastic Net Ethnicity Tool), using five cohorts with Infinium Human Methylation 450k BeadChip array (HM450k) data from placental samples that is also compatible with the newer EPIC platform. RESULTS:Data from 509 placental samples were used to develop PlaNET and show that it accurately predicts (accuracy = 0.938, kappa = 0.823) major classes of self-reported ethnicity/race (African: n = 58, Asian: n = 53, Caucasian: n = 389), and produces ethnicity probabilities that are highly correlated with genetic ancestry inferred from genome-wide SNP arrays (> 2.5 million SNP) and ancestry informative markers (n = 50 SNPs). PlaNET's ethnicity classification relies on 1860 HM450K microarray sites, and over half of these were linked to nearby genetic polymorphisms (n = 955). Our placental-optimized method outperforms existing approaches in assessing population stratification in placental samples from individuals of Asian, African, and Caucasian ethnicities. CONCLUSION:PlaNET provides an improved approach to address population stratification in placental DNAme association studies. The method can be applied to predict ethnicity as a discrete or continuous variable and will be especially useful when self-reported ethnicity information is missing and genotyping markers are unavailable.

Accurate ethnicity prediction from placental DNA methylation data

Project description:The influence of genetics on DNA methylation (DNAme) variation is well documented, yet confounding from population stratification is often unaccounted for in DNAme association studies. Existing approaches have been developed to address confounding by population stratification by directly using DNAme data, but have not been validated in additional human populations or tissues, such as the placenta. Results: To aid future placental DNAme studies in assessing population stratification, we developed an ethnicity classifier, PLANET (placental elastic net DNAme ethnicity classifier), on combined Infinium Human Methylation 450k BeadChip array (HM450k) data from placental samples. We used data from five North American cohorts from private and public repositories (n = 509) and show that PLANET can not only accurately predict (accuracy = 0.9379, kappa = 0.8227) major classes of self-reported ethnicity/race (African: n = 58, Asian: n = 53, Caucasian: n = 389), but can also produce probabilities that are highly correlated with genetic ancestry inferred from genome-wide SNP (>2.5 million SNP) and ancestry informative markers (n=50) data. We found that PLANET’s ethnicity classification relies on 1860 DNAme microarray sites, and over half of these were also linked to nearby genetic polymorphisms (n=955). Lastly, we found our placental-optimized method outperforms existing approaches in assessing population stratification in our placental samples from individuals of Asian, African, and Caucasian ethnicities. Conclusion: PLANET outperforms existing methods and heavily relies on the genetic signal present in DNAme microarray data. PLANET can be used to address population stratification in future placental DNAme association studies, and will be especially useful when ethnicity information is missing and genotyping markers are unavailable.

Single-sequence protein structure prediction using a language model and deep learning.

Project description:AlphaFold2 and related computational systems predict protein structure using deep learning and co-evolutionary relationships encoded in multiple sequence alignments (MSAs). Despite high prediction accuracy achieved by these systems, challenges remain in (1) prediction of orphan and rapidly evolving proteins for which an MSA cannot be generated; (2) rapid exploration of designed structures; and (3) understanding the rules governing spontaneous polypeptide folding in solution. Here we report development of an end-to-end differentiable recurrent geometric network (RGN) that uses a protein language model (AminoBERT) to learn latent structural information from unaligned proteins. A linked geometric module compactly represents Cα backbone geometry in a translationally and rotationally invariant way. On average, RGN2 outperforms AlphaFold2 and RoseTTAFold on orphan proteins and classes of designed proteins while achieving up to a 106-fold reduction in compute time. These findings demonstrate the practical and theoretical strengths of protein language models relative to MSAs in structure prediction.

A Deep Learning Framework for Robust and Accurate Prediction of ncRNA-Protein Interactions Using Evolutionary Information.

Project description:The interactions between non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and proteins play an important role in many biological processes, and their biological functions are primarily achieved by binding with a variety of proteins. High-throughput biological techniques are used to identify protein molecules bound with specific ncRNA, but they are usually expensive and time consuming. Deep learning provides a powerful solution to computationally predict RNA-protein interactions. In this work, we propose the RPI-SAN model by using the deep-learning stacked auto-encoder network to mine the hidden high-level features from RNA and protein sequences and feed them into a random forest (RF) model to predict ncRNA binding proteins. Stacked assembling is further used to improve the accuracy of the proposed method. Four benchmark datasets, including RPI2241, RPI488, RPI1807, and NPInter v2.0, were employed for the unbiased evaluation of five established prediction tools: RPI-Pred, IPMiner, RPISeq-RF, lncPro, and RPI-SAN. The experimental results show that our RPI-SAN model achieves much better performance than other methods, with accuracies of 90.77%, 89.7%, 96.1%, and 99.33%, respectively. It is anticipated that RPI-SAN can be used as an effective computational tool for future biomedical researches and can accurately predict the potential ncRNA-protein interacted pairs, which provides reliable guidance for biological research.
