THREE-WAY CLUSTERING OF MULTI-TISSUE MULTI-INDIVIDUAL GENE EXPRESSION DATA USING SEMI-NONNEGATIVE TENSOR DECOMPOSITION.

ABSTRACT: The advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies has led to an increasing availability of large multi-tissue data sets which contain gene expression measurements across different tissues and individuals. In this setting, variation in expression levels arises due to contributions specific to genes, tissues, individuals, and interactions thereof. Classical clustering methods are ill-suited to explore these three-way interactions and struggle to fully extract the insights into transcriptome complexity contained in the data. We propose a new statistical method, called MultiCluster, based on semi-nonnegative tensor decomposition which permits the investigation of transcriptome variation across individuals and tissues simultaneously. We further develop a tensor projection procedure which detects covariate-related genes with high power, demonstrating the advantage of tensor-based methods in incorporating information across similar tissues. Through simulation and application to the GTEx RNA-seq data from 53 human tissues, we show that MultiCluster identifies three-way interactions with high accuracy and robustness.

Project description:Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a powerful technique with the potential to estimate individual variations in behavioral and cognitive traits. Joint learning of multiple datasets can utilize their complementary information so as to improve learning performance, but it also gives rise to the challenge for data fusion to effectively integrate brain patterns elicited by multiple fMRI data. However, most of the current data fusion methods analyze each single dataset separately and further infer the relationship among them, which fail to utilize the multidimensional structure inherent across modalities and may ignore complex but important interactions. To address this issue, we propose a novel sparse tensor decomposition method to integrate multiple task-stimulus (paradigm) fMRI data. Seeing each paradigm fMRI as one modality, our proposed method considers the relationships across subjects and modalities simultaneously. In specific, a third-order tensor is first modeled by using the functional network connectivity (FNC) of subjects in multiple fMRI paradigms. A novel sparse tensor decomposition with the regularization terms is designed to factorize the tensor into a series of rank-one components, which can extract the shared components across modalities as the embedded features. The L2,1-norm regularizer (i.e., group sparsity) is enforced to select a few common features among multiple subjects. Validation of the proposed method is performed on realistic three paradigm fMRI datasets from the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort (PNC) study, for the study of the relationship between the FNC and human cognitive abilities. Experimental results show our method outperforms several other competing methods in the prediction of individuals with different cognitive behaviors via the wide range achievement test (WRAT). Furthermore, our method discovers the FNC related to the cognitive behaviors, such as the connectivity associated with the default mode network (DMN) for three paradigms, and the connectivity between DMN and visual (VIS) domains within the emotion task.

Project description:Multi-omics data is frequently measured to enrich the comprehension of biological mechanisms underlying certain phenotypes. However, due to the complex relations and high dimension of multi-omics data, it is difficult to associate omics features to certain biological traits of interest. For example, the clinically valuable breast cancer subtypes are well-defined at the molecular level, but are poorly classified using gene expression data. Here, we propose a multi-omics analysis method called MONTI (Multi-Omics Non-negative Tensor decomposition for Integrative analysis), which goal is to select multi-omics features that are able to represent trait specific characteristics. Here, we demonstrate the strength of multi-omics integrated analysis in terms of cancer subtyping. The multi-omics data are first integrated in a biologically meaningful manner to form a three dimensional tensor, which is then decomposed using a non-negative tensor decomposition method. From the result, MONTI selects highly informative subtype specific multi-omics features. MONTI was applied to three case studies of 597 breast cancer, 314 colon cancer, and 305 stomach cancer cohorts. For all the case studies, we found that the subtype classification accuracy significantly improved when utilizing all available multi-omics data. MONTI was able to detect subtype specific gene sets that showed to be strongly regulated by certain omics, from which correlation between omics types could be inferred. Furthermore, various clinical attributes of nine cancer types were analyzed using MONTI, which showed that some clinical attributes could be well explained using multi-omics data. We demonstrated that integrating multi-omics data in a gene centric manner improves detecting cancer subtype specific features and other clinical features, which may be used to further understand the molecular characteristics of interest.
