High throughput mathematical modeling and multi-objective evolutionary algorithms for plant tissue culture media formulation: Case study of pear rootstocks.

ABSTRACT: Simplified prediction of the interactions of plant tissue culture media components is of critical importance to efficient development and optimization of new media. We applied two algorithms, gene expression programming (GEP) and M5' model tree, to predict the effects of media components on in vitro proliferation rate (PR), shoot length (SL), shoot tip necrosis (STN), vitrification (Vitri) and quality index (QI) in pear rootstocks (Pyrodwarf and OHF 69). In order to optimize the selected prediction models, as well as achieving a precise multi-optimization method, multi-objective evolutionary optimization algorithms using genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) techniques were compared to the mono-objective GA optimization technique. A Gamma test (GT) was used to find the most important determinant input for optimizing each output factor. GEP had a higher prediction accuracy than M5' model tree. GT results showed that BA (? = 4.0178), Mesos (? = 0.5482), Mesos (? = 184.0100), Micros (? = 136.6100) and Mesos (? = 1.1146), for PR, SL, STN, Vitri and QI respectively, were the most important factors in culturing OHF 69, while for Pyrodwarf culture, BA (? = 10.2920), Micros (? = 0.7874), NH4NO3 (? = 166.410), KNO3 (? = 168.4400), and Mesos (? = 1.4860) were the most important influences on PR, SL, STN, Vitri and QI respectively. The PSO optimized GEP models produced the best outputs for both rootstocks.

Project description:BackgroundStudies on genome-wide associations help to determine the cause of many genetic diseases. Genome-wide associations typically focus on associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Genotyping every SNP in a chromosomal region for identifying genetic variation is computationally very expensive. A representative subset of SNPs, called tag SNPs, can be used to identify genetic variation. Small tag SNPs save the computation time of genotyping platform, however, there could be missing data or genotyping errors in small tag SNPs. This study aims to solve Tag SNPs selection problem using many-objective evolutionary algorithms.MethodsTag SNPs selection can be viewed as an optimization problem with some trade-offs between objectives, e.g. minimizing the number of tag SNPs and maximizing tolerance for missing data. In this study, the tag SNPs selection problem is formulated as a many-objective problem. Nondominated Sorting based Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-III), and Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm based on Decomposition (MOEA/D), which are Many-Objective evolutionary algorithms, have been applied and investigated for optimal tag SNPs selection. This study also investigates different initialization methods like greedy and random initialization. optimization.ResultsThe evaluation measures used for comparing results for different algorithms are Hypervolume, Range, SumMin, MinSum, Tolerance rate, and Average Hamming distance. Overall MOEA/D algorithm gives superior results as compared to other algorithms in most cases. NSGA-III outperforms NSGA-II and other compared algorithms on maximum tolerance rate, and SPEA2 outperforms all algorithms on average hamming distance.ConclusionExperimental results show that the performance of our proposed many-objective algorithms is much superior as compared to the results of existing methods. The outcomes show the advantages of greedy initialization over random initialization using NSGA-III, SPEA2, and MOEA/D to solve the tag SNPs selection as many-objective optimization problem.

Project description:BackgroundPeptides binding to Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class II molecules are crucial for initiation and regulation of immune responses. Predicting peptides that bind to a specific MHC molecule plays an important role in determining potential candidates for vaccines. The binding groove in class II MHC is open at both ends, allowing peptides longer than 9-mer to bind. Finding the consensus motif facilitating the binding of peptides to a MHC class II molecule is difficult because of different lengths of binding peptides and varying location of 9-mer binding core. The level of difficulty increases when the molecule is promiscuous and binds to a large number of low affinity peptides. In this paper, we propose two approaches using multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEA) for predicting peptides binding to MHC class II molecules. One uses the information from both binders and non-binders for self-discovery of motifs. The other, in addition, uses information from experimentally determined motifs for guided-discovery of motifs.ResultsThe proposed methods are intended for finding peptides binding to MHC class II I-Ag7 molecule - a promiscuous binder to a large number of low affinity peptides. Cross-validation results across experiments on two motifs derived for I-Ag7 datasets demonstrate better generalization abilities and accuracies of the present method over earlier approaches. Further, the proposed method was validated and compared on two publicly available benchmark datasets: (1) an ensemble of qualitative HLA-DRB1*0401 peptide data obtained from five different sources, and (2) quantitative peptide data obtained for sixteen different alleles comprising of three mouse alleles and thirteen HLA alleles. The proposed method outperformed earlier methods on most datasets, indicating that it is well suited for finding peptides binding to MHC class II molecules.ConclusionWe present two MOEA-based algorithms for finding motifs, one for self-discovery and the other for guided-discovery by experimentally determined motifs, and thereby predicting binding peptides to I-Ag7 molecule. Our experiments show that the proposed MOEA-based algorithms are better than earlier methods in predicting binding sites not only on I-Ag7 but also on most alleles of class II MHC benchmark datasets. This shows that our methods could be applicable to find binding motifs in a wide range of alleles.

Project description:Disrupted/disordered ovarian steroidogenesis is associated with several fertility disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome in humans and cystic ovarian disease in cattle. Methods to interrogate theca cell processes as part of follicular development are necessary to further research into treatments for these types of disorders. Multilayer follicles of dairy-breed cows were placed into culture in a novel matrix-free 3D system using round bottom low-attachment plates. Follicles were first cultured in the presence of two types of media previously used for in vitro follicle maturation (basal α-MEM and basal T-199). After the optimal media was identified, impact of supplementation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on growth and survival of bovine secondary follicles to antral stage was evaluated. No differences were observed in growth and survival of follicles cultured in basal α-MEM media or basal T-199 media, although T-199 media's high phenol red content made assessment of follicles difficult. Further studies were then performed with α-MEM media. Three cohorts of follicles were observed based on time to antrum formation: ≤ 5 days (fast), 6-19 days (slow), or survived but did not form an antrum by 21 days (no). Supplementation of EGF to the basal α-MEM media dramatically improved follicle survival rates in culture (defined as follicles that either formed an antrum or did not form an antrum but did not die during 21 day culture period) from 29% to 95.7% (Chi-square p < 0.0001). However, in follicles that survived to form an antrum there were no differences in proportion of fast, slow and no antrum follicles after addition of EGF (Chi-square p > 0.7). Fast antrum follicles treated with EGF plateaued in size earlier in culture compared to controls (p = 0.013). Slow and no antrum follicles were larger in diameter during EGF culture than controls (p's < 0.0001). Many follicles cultured in this matrix-free system that formed an antrum approached 1.5-2 mm in size, an improvement from previous single follicle culture methods used for bovine pre-antral follicles in vitro. In addition, follicles displayed functional steroidogenesis in vitro producing measureable levels of estradiol and androstenedione. This matrix-free 3D culture system provides an excellent in vitro model to explore processes associated with folliculogenesis in cattle.
