A New Era of Neuro-Oncology Research Pioneered by Multi-Omics Analysis and Machine Learning.

ABSTRACT: Although the incidence of central nervous system (CNS) cancers is not high, it significantly reduces a patient's quality of life and results in high mortality rates. A low incidence also means a low number of cases, which in turn means a low amount of information. To compensate, researchers have tried to increase the amount of information available from a single test using high-throughput technologies. This approach, referred to as single-omics analysis, has only been partially successful as one type of data may not be able to appropriately describe all the characteristics of a tumor. It is presently unclear what type of data can describe a particular clinical situation. One way to solve this problem is to use multi-omics data. When using many types of data, a selected data type or a combination of them may effectively resolve a clinical question. Hence, we conducted a comprehensive survey of papers in the field of neuro-oncology that used multi-omics data for analysis and found that most of the papers utilized machine learning techniques. This fact shows that it is useful to utilize machine learning techniques in multi-omics analysis. In this review, we discuss the current status of multi-omics analysis in the field of neuro-oncology and the importance of using machine learning techniques.

Computational Oncology in the Multi-Omics Era: State of the Art.

Project description:Cancer is the quintessential complex disease. As technologies evolve faster each day, we are able to quantify the different layers of biological elements that contribute to the emergence and development of malignancies. In this multi-omics context, the use of integrative approaches is mandatory in order to gain further insights on oncological phenomena, and to move forward toward the precision medicine paradigm. In this review, we will focus on computational oncology as an integrative discipline that incorporates knowledge from the mathematical, physical, and computational fields to further the biomedical understanding of cancer. We will discuss the current roles of computation in oncology in the context of multi-omic technologies, which include: data acquisition and processing; data management in the clinical and research settings; classification, diagnosis, and prognosis; and the development of models in the research setting, including their use for therapeutic target identification. We will discuss the machine learning and network approaches as two of the most promising emerging paradigms, in computational oncology. These approaches provide a foundation on how to integrate different layers of biological description into coherent frameworks that allow advances both in the basic and clinical settings.

Neuro-oncology: Five new things.

Project description:Recent reports herald important advances in our understanding and management of gliomas. A role for alkylator chemotherapy in the management of certain high-grade gliomas has been confirmed and linked to specific, clinically ascertainable molecular markers. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy can now image 2-hydroxyglutarate, an oncometabolite restricted to the three-quarters of low-intermediate grade gliomas harboring an isocitrate dehydrogenase gene mutation; this has powerful implications for diagnosis and assessment of response to therapies. Genome-wide association studies point to several SNPs conveying increased risk of glioma; further studies of the involved genes and RNA products will enhance our understanding of glioma development. Finally, high-throughput sequencing has identified novel mutations in a histone-coding gene and in genes related to the histone complex in pediatric glioblastoma.

IOBR: Multi-Omics Immuno-Oncology Biological Research to Decode Tumor Microenvironment and Signatures.

Project description:Recent advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have triggered the rapid accumulation of publicly available multi-omics datasets. The application of integrated omics to explore robust signatures for clinical translation is increasingly emphasized, and this is attributed to the clinical success of immune checkpoint blockades in diverse malignancies. However, effective tools for comprehensively interpreting multi-omics data are still warranted to provide increased granularity into the intrinsic mechanism of oncogenesis and immunotherapeutic sensitivity. Therefore, we developed a computational tool for effective Immuno-Oncology Biological Research (IOBR), providing a comprehensive investigation of the estimation of reported or user-built signatures, TME deconvolution, and signature construction based on multi-omics data. Notably, IOBR offers batch analyses of these signatures and their correlations with clinical phenotypes, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) profiling, genomic characteristics, and signatures generated from single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data in different cancer settings. Additionally, IOBR integrates multiple existing microenvironmental deconvolution methodologies and signature construction tools for convenient comparison and selection. Collectively, IOBR is a user-friendly tool for leveraging multi-omics data to facilitate immuno-oncology exploration and to unveil tumor-immune interactions and accelerating precision immunotherapy.

Applied machine learning in Alzheimer's disease research: omics, imaging, and clinical data.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a devastating neurodegenerative disease with few preventive or curative treatments available. Modern technology developments of high-throughput omics platforms and imaging equipment provide unprecedented opportunities to study the etiology and progression of this disease. Meanwhile, the vast amount of data from various modalities, such as genetics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and imaging, as well as clinical features impose great challenges in data integration and analysis. Machine learning (ML) methods offer novel techniques to address high dimensional data, integrate data from different sources, model the etiological and clinical heterogeneity, and discover new biomarkers. These directions have the potential to help us better manage the disease progression and develop novel treatment strategies. This mini-review paper summarizes different ML methods that have been applied to study AD using single-platform or multi-modal data. We review the current state of ML applications for five key directions of AD research: disease classification, drug repurposing, subtyping, progression prediction, and biomarker discovery. This summary provides insights about the current research status of ML-based AD research and highlights potential directions for future research.

Dealing with dimensionality: the application of machine learning to multi-omics data.

Project description:MotivationMachine learning (ML) methods are motivated by the need to automate information extraction from large datasets in order to support human users in data-driven tasks. This is an attractive approach for integrative joint analysis of vast amounts of omics data produced in next generation sequencing and other -omics assays. A systematic assessment of the current literature can help to identify key trends and potential gaps in methodology and applications. We surveyed the literature on ML multi-omic data integration and quantitatively explored the goals, techniques and data involved in this field. We were particularly interested in examining how researchers use ML to deal with the volume and complexity of these datasets.ResultsOur main finding is that the methods used are those that address the challenges of datasets with few samples and many features. Dimensionality reduction methods are used to reduce the feature count alongside models that can also appropriately handle relatively few samples. Popular techniques include autoencoders, random forests and support vector machines. We also found that the field is heavily influenced by the use of The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset, which is accessible and contains many diverse experiments.Availability and implementationAll data and processing scripts are available at this GitLab repository: https://gitlab.com/polavieja_lab/ml_multi-omics_review/ or in Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7361807.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Flexible Data Trimming Improves Performance of Global Machine Learning Methods in Omics-Based Personalized Oncology.

Project description:(1) Background: Machine learning (ML) methods are rarely used for an omics-based prescription of cancer drugs, due to shortage of case histories with clinical outcome supplemented by high-throughput molecular data. This causes overtraining and high vulnerability of most ML methods. Recently, we proposed a hybrid global-local approach to ML termed floating window projective separator (FloWPS) that avoids extrapolation in the feature space. Its core property is data trimming, i.e., sample-specific removal of irrelevant features. (2) Methods: Here, we applied FloWPS to seven popular ML methods, including linear SVM, k nearest neighbors (kNN), random forest (RF), Tikhonov (ridge) regression (RR), binomial naïve Bayes (BNB), adaptive boosting (ADA) and multi-layer perceptron (MLP). (3) Results: We performed computational experiments for 21 high throughput gene expression datasets (41-235 samples per dataset) totally representing 1778 cancer patients with known responses on chemotherapy treatments. FloWPS essentially improved the classifier quality for all global ML methods (SVM, RF, BNB, ADA, MLP), where the area under the receiver-operator curve (ROC AUC) for the treatment response classifiers increased from 0.61-0.88 range to 0.70-0.94. We tested FloWPS-empowered methods for overtraining by interrogating the importance of different features for different ML methods in the same model datasets. (4) Conclusions: We showed that FloWPS increases the correlation of feature importance between the different ML methods, which indicates its robustness to overtraining. For all the datasets tested, the best performance of FloWPS data trimming was observed for the BNB method, which can be valuable for further building of ML classifiers in personalized oncology.
