Enhancing Hi-C data resolution with deep convolutional neural network HiCPlus.

ABSTRACT: Although Hi-C technology is one of the most popular tools for studying 3D genome organization, due to sequencing cost, the resolution of most Hi-C datasets are coarse and cannot be used to link distal regulatory elements to their target genes. Here we develop HiCPlus, a computational approach based on deep convolutional neural network, to infer high-resolution Hi-C interaction matrices from low-resolution Hi-C data. We demonstrate that HiCPlus can impute interaction matrices highly similar to the original ones, while only using 1/16 of the original sequencing reads. We show that the models learned from one cell type can be applied to make predictions in other cell or tissue types. Our work not only provides a computational framework to enhance Hi-C data resolution but also reveals features underlying the formation of 3D chromatin interactions.

HiCNN: a very deep convolutional neural network to better enhance the resolution of Hi-C data.

Project description:MotivationHigh-resolution Hi-C data are indispensable for the studies of three-dimensional (3D) genome organization at kilobase level. However, generating high-resolution Hi-C data (e.g. 5 kb) by conducting Hi-C experiments needs millions of mammalian cells, which may eventually generate billions of paired-end reads with a high sequencing cost. Therefore, it will be important and helpful if we can enhance the resolutions of Hi-C data by computational methods.ResultsWe developed a new computational method named HiCNN that used a 54-layer very deep convolutional neural network to enhance the resolutions of Hi-C data. The network contains both global and local residual learning with multiple speedup techniques included resulting in fast convergence. We used mean squared errors and Pearson's correlation coefficients between real high-resolution and computationally predicted high-resolution Hi-C data to evaluate the method. The evaluation results show that HiCNN consistently outperforms HiCPlus, the only existing tool in the literature, when training and testing data are extracted from the same cell type (i.e. GM12878) and from two different cell types in the same or different species (i.e. GM12878 as training with K562 as testing, and GM12878 as training with CH12-LX as testing). We further found that the HiCNN-enhanced high-resolution Hi-C data are more consistent with real experimental high-resolution Hi-C data than HiCPlus-enhanced data in terms of indicating statistically significant interactions. Moreover, HiCNN can efficiently enhance low-resolution Hi-C data, which eventually helps recover two chromatin loops that were confirmed by 3D-FISH.Availability and implementationHiCNN is freely available at http://dna.cs.miami.edu/HiCNN/.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

HiCNN2: Enhancing the Resolution of Hi-C Data Using an Ensemble of Convolutional Neural Networks.

Project description:We present a deep-learning package named HiCNN2 to learn the mapping between low-resolution and high-resolution Hi-C (a technique for capturing genome-wide chromatin interactions) data, which can enhance the resolution of Hi-C interaction matrices. The HiCNN2 package includes three methods each with a different deep learning architecture: HiCNN2-1 is based on one single convolutional neural network (ConvNet); HiCNN2-2 consists of an ensemble of two different ConvNets; and HiCNN2-3 is an ensemble of three different ConvNets. Our evaluation results indicate that HiCNN2-enhanced high-resolution Hi-C data achieve smaller mean squared error and higher Pearson's correlation coefficients with experimental high-resolution Hi-C data compared with existing methods HiCPlus and HiCNN. Moreover, all of the three HiCNN2 methods can recover more significant interactions detected by Fit-Hi-C compared to HiCPlus and HiCNN. Based on our evaluation results, we would recommend using HiCNN2-1 and HiCNN2-3 if recovering more significant interactions from Hi-C data is of interest, and HiCNN2-2 and HiCNN if the goal is to achieve higher reproducibility scores between the enhanced Hi-C matrix and the real high-resolution Hi-C matrix.

DeepHiC: A generative adversarial network for enhancing Hi-C data resolution.

Project description:Hi-C is commonly used to study three-dimensional genome organization. However, due to the high sequencing cost and technical constraints, the resolution of most Hi-C datasets is coarse, resulting in a loss of information and biological interpretability. Here we develop DeepHiC, a generative adversarial network, to predict high-resolution Hi-C contact maps from low-coverage sequencing data. We demonstrated that DeepHiC is capable of reproducing high-resolution Hi-C data from as few as 1% downsampled reads. Empowered by adversarial training, our method can restore fine-grained details similar to those in high-resolution Hi-C matrices, boosting accuracy in chromatin loops identification and TADs detection, and outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in accuracy of prediction. Finally, application of DeepHiC to Hi-C data on mouse embryonic development can facilitate chromatin loop detection. We develop a web-based tool (DeepHiC, http://sysomics.com/deephic) that allows researchers to enhance their own Hi-C data with just a few clicks.

AtacWorks: A deep convolutional neural network toolkit for epigenomics

Project description:We introduce AtacWorks (https://github.com/clara-genomics/AtacWorks), a method to denoise and identify accessible chromatin regions from low-coverage or low-quality ATAC-seq data. AtacWorks uses a deep neural network to learn a mapping between noisy ATAC-seq data and corresponding higher-coverage or higher-quality data. We apply this approach to as few as 50 hematopoietic stem cells to identify regulatory elements that are differentially-accessible between rare lineage-primed cell subpopulations.

Enhancing Evolutionary Couplings with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.

Project description:While genes are defined by sequence, in biological systems a protein's function is largely determined by its three-dimensional structure. Evolutionary information embedded within multiple sequence alignments provides a rich source of data for inferring structural constraints on macromolecules. Still, many proteins of interest lack sufficient numbers of related sequences, leading to noisy, error-prone residue-residue contact predictions. Here we introduce DeepContact, a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based approach that discovers co-evolutionary motifs and leverages these patterns to enable accurate inference of contact probabilities, particularly when few related sequences are available. DeepContact significantly improves performance over previous methods, including in the CASP12 blind contact prediction task where we achieved top performance with another CNN-based approach. Moreover, our tool converts hard-to-interpret coupling scores into probabilities, moving the field toward a consistent metric to assess contact prediction across diverse proteins. Through substantially improving the precision-recall behavior of contact prediction, DeepContact suggests we are near a paradigm shift in template-free modeling for protein structure prediction.

A deep convolutional neural network approach for astrocyte detection.

Project description:Astrocytes are involved in various brain pathologies including trauma, stroke, neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, or chronic pain. Determining cell density in a complex tissue environment in microscopy images and elucidating the temporal characteristics of morphological and biochemical changes is essential to understand the role of astrocytes in physiological and pathological conditions. Nowadays, manual stereological cell counting or semi-automatic segmentation techniques are widely used for the quantitative analysis of microscopy images. Detecting astrocytes automatically is a highly challenging computational task, for which we currently lack efficient image analysis tools. We have developed a fast and fully automated software that assesses the number of astrocytes using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN). The method highly outperforms state-of-the-art image analysis and machine learning methods and provides precision comparable to those of human experts. Additionally, the runtime of cell detection is significantly less than that of other three computational methods analysed, and it is faster than human observers by orders of magnitude. We applied our DCNN-based method to examine the number of astrocytes in different brain regions of rats with opioid-induced hyperalgesia/tolerance (OIH/OIT), as morphine tolerance is believed to activate glia. We have demonstrated a strong positive correlation between manual and DCNN-based quantification of astrocytes in rat brain.

Identification of natural selection in genomic data with deep convolutional neural network.

Project description:BackgroundWith the increase in the size of genomic datasets describing variability in populations, extracting relevant information becomes increasingly useful as well as complex. Recently, computational methodologies such as Supervised Machine Learning and specifically Convolutional Neural Networks have been proposed to make inferences on demographic and adaptive processes using genomic data. Even though it was already shown to be powerful and efficient in different fields of investigation, Supervised Machine Learning has still to be explored as to unfold its enormous potential in evolutionary genomics.ResultsThe paper proposes a method based on Supervised Machine Learning for classifying genomic data, represented as windows of genomic sequences from a sample of individuals belonging to the same population. A Convolutional Neural Network is used to test whether a genomic window shows the signature of natural selection. Training performed on simulated data show that the proposed model can accurately predict neutral and selection processes on portions of genomes taken from real populations with almost 90% accuracy.

A deep convolutional neural network for efficient microglia detection.

Project description:Microglial cells are a type of glial cells that make up 10-15% of all brain cells, and they play a significant role in neurodegenerative disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Despite their vital role in these diseases, developing fully automated microglia counting methods from immunohistological images is challenging. Current image analysis methods are inefficient and lack accuracy in detecting microglia due to their morphological heterogeneity. This study presents development and validation of a fully automated and efficient microglia detection method using the YOLOv3 deep learning-based algorithm. We applied this method to analyse the number of microglia in different spinal cord and brain regions of rats exposed to opioid-induced hyperalgesia/tolerance. Our numerical tests showed that the proposed method outperforms existing computational and manual methods with high accuracy, achieving 94% precision, 91% recall, and 92% F1-score. Furthermore, our tool is freely available and adds value to exploring different disease models. Our findings demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our new tool in automated microglia detection, providing a valuable asset for researchers in neuroscience.

Diagnostic Performance of a Convolutional Neural Network for Diminutive Colorectal Polyp Recognition

Project description:Interventions: None Primary outcome(s): The primary outcome of the study is the accuracy of the CAD-CNN system for predicting histology of diminutive colorectal polyps (1-5mm) compared with the accuracy of the prediction of the endoscopist. Both the CAD-CNN system and the endoscopist will use NBI for their predictions. Accuracy is defined as the percentage of correctly predicted optical diagnoses of the CAD-CNN system and/or endoscopist compared to the gold standard pathology. For the calculation of the accuracy, adenomas and SSLs will be dichotomised as neoplastic polyps, while HPs and other non-neoplastic histology are considered non-neoplastic.

Thyroid Nodule Classification in Ultrasound Images by Fine-Tuning Deep Convolutional Neural Network.

Project description:With many thyroid nodules being incidentally detected, it is important to identify as many malignant nodules as possible while excluding those that are highly likely to be benign from fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies or surgeries. This paper presents a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for classifying thyroid nodules in ultrasound images. We use deep learning approach to extract features from thyroid ultrasound images. Ultrasound images are pre-processed to calibrate their scale and remove the artifacts. A pre-trained GoogLeNet model is then fine-tuned using the pre-processed image samples which leads to superior feature extraction. The extracted features of the thyroid ultrasound images are sent to a Cost-sensitive Random Forest classifier to classify the images into "malignant" and "benign" cases. The experimental results show the proposed fine-tuned GoogLeNet model achieves excellent classification performance, attaining 98.29% classification accuracy, 99.10% sensitivity and 93.90% specificity for the images in an open access database (Pedraza et al. 16), while 96.34% classification accuracy, 86% sensitivity and 99% specificity for the images in our local health region database.
