Project description:Reaction-diffusion models have been proposed for decades to capture the growth of gliomas, the most common primary brain tumors. However, ill-posedness of the initialization at diagnosis time and parameter estimation of such models have restrained their clinical use as a personalized predictive tool. In this work, we investigate the ability of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) to address commonly encountered pitfalls in the field. Based on 1200 synthetic tumors grown over real brain geometries derived from magnetic resonance (MR) data of six healthy subjects, we demonstrate the ability of DCNNs to reconstruct a whole tumor cell-density distribution from only two imaging contours at a single time point. With an additional imaging contour extracted at a prior time point, we also demonstrate the ability of DCNNs to accurately estimate the individual diffusivity and proliferation parameters of the model. From this knowledge, the spatio-temporal evolution of the tumor cell-density distribution at later time points can ultimately be precisely captured using the model. We finally show the applicability of our approach to MR data of a real glioblastoma patient. This approach may open the perspective of a clinical application of reaction-diffusion growth models for tumor prognosis and treatment planning.

Project description:Here, we combine comparative regulatory genomics with machine learning to investigate enhancer logic in melanoma. Through epigenomics profiling of 26 melanoma cell lines across six species, we examine the conservation of the two main melanoma states and underlying master regulators. By training a deep neural network on topic models derived from the human lines, we were able to classify not only human melanoma enhancers, but also regulatory regions in the other species. The deep learning model revealed important genomic features (i.e. TF binding motifs) for the different melanoma states, how they co-occur within melanoma enhancers, and where they are placed with respect to the central enhancer nucleosome. This in-depth analysis of the melanoma enhancer code allowed us to propose a mechanistic model of TF binding in MEL melanoma enhancers. Finally, by exploiting the deep layers of our model, we are able to identify causal mutations for melanoma enhancer loss and gain through evolution, not only affecting enhancer accessibility but also activity.

Project description:Computational protein structure prediction is a long-standing challenge in bioinformatics. In the process of predicting protein 3D structures, it is common that parts of an experimental structure are missing or parts of a predicted structure need to be remodeled. The process of predicting local protein structures of particular regions is called loop modeling. In this paper, five new loop modeling methods based on machine learning techniques, called NearLooper, ConLooper, ResLooper, HyLooper1, and HyLooper2 are proposed. NearLooper is based on the nearest neighbor technique. ConLooper applies deep convolutional neural networks to predict ${\mathrm{C}}_{{{\alpha }}}$C? atoms distance matrix as an orientation-independent representation of protein structure. ResLooper uses residual neural networks instead of deep convolutional neural networks. HyLooper1 combines the results of NearLooper and ConLooper while HyLooper2 combines NearLooper and ResLooper. Three commonly used benchmarks for loop modeling are used to compare the performance between these methods and existing state-of-the-art methods. The experiment results show promising performance in which our best method improves existing state-of-the-art methods by 28 and 54 percent of average RMSD on two datasets while being comparable on the other one.

Project description:Deep learning is catalyzing a scientific revolution fueled by big data, accessible toolkits, and powerful computational resources, impacting many fields, including protein structural modeling. Protein structural modeling, such as predicting structure from amino acid sequence and evolutionary information, designing proteins toward desirable functionality, or predicting properties or behavior of a protein, is critical to understand and engineer biological systems at the molecular level. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in applying deep learning techniques to tackle problems in protein structural modeling and design. We dissect the emerging approaches using deep learning techniques for protein structural modeling and discuss advances and challenges that must be addressed. We argue for the central importance of structure, following the "sequence ? structure ? function" paradigm. This review is directed to help both computational biologists to gain familiarity with the deep learning methods applied in protein modeling, and computer scientists to gain perspective on the biologically meaningful problems that may benefit from deep learning techniques.

Project description:Deep Learning is an effective technique and used in various fields of natural language processing, computer vision, image processing and machine vision. Deep fakes uses deep learning technique to synthesis and manipulate image of a person in which human beings cannot distinguish the fake one. By using generative adversarial neural networks (GAN) deep fakes are generated which may threaten the public. Detecting deep fake image content plays a vital role. Many research works have been done in detection of deep fakes in image manipulation. The main issues in the existing techniques are inaccurate, consumption time is high. In this work we implement detecting of deep fake face image analysis using deep learning technique of fisherface using Local Binary Pattern Histogram (FF-LBPH). Fisherface algorithm is used to recognize the face by reduction of the dimension in the face space using LBPH. Then apply DBN with RBM for deep fake detection classifier. The public data sets used in this work are FFHQ, 100K-Faces DFFD, CASIA-WebFace.

Project description:Deep learning has been applied in precision oncology to address a variety of gene expression-based phenotype predictions. However, gene expression data's unique characteristics challenge the computer vision-inspired design of popular Deep Learning (DL) models such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and ask for the need to develop interpretable DL models tailored for transcriptomics study. To address the current challenges in developing an interpretable DL model for modeling gene expression data, we propose a novel interpretable deep learning architecture called T-GEM, or Transformer for Gene Expression Modeling. We provided the detailed T-GEM model for modeling gene-gene interactions and demonstrated its utility for gene expression-based predictions of cancer-related phenotypes, including cancer type prediction and immune cell type classification. We carefully analyzed the learning mechanism of T-GEM and showed that the first layer has broader attention while higher layers focus more on phenotype-related genes. We also showed that T-GEM's self-attention could capture important biological functions associated with the predicted phenotypes. We further devised a method to extract the regulatory network that T-GEM learns by exploiting the attributions of self-attention weights for classifications and showed that the network hub genes were likely markers for the predicted phenotypes.

Project description:Accurately predicting peptide secondary structures remains a challenging task due to the lack of discriminative information in short peptides. In this study, PHAT is proposed, a deep hypergraph learning framework for the prediction of peptide secondary structures and the exploration of downstream tasks. The framework includes a novel interpretable deep hypergraph multi-head attention network that uses residue-based reasoning for structure prediction. The algorithm can incorporate sequential semantic information from large-scale biological corpus and structural semantic information from multi-scale structural segmentation, leading to better accuracy and interpretability even with extremely short peptides. The interpretable models are able to highlight the reasoning of structural feature representations and the classification of secondary substructures. The importance of secondary structures in peptide tertiary structure reconstruction and downstream functional analysis is further demonstrated, highlighting the versatility of our models. To facilitate the use of the model, an online server is established which is accessible via http://inner.wei-group.net/PHAT/. The work is expected to assist in the design of functional peptides and contribute to the advancement of structural biology research.

Project description:Bolstered by recent methodological and hardware advances, deep learning has increasingly been applied to biological problems and structural proteomics. Such approaches have achieved remarkable improvements over traditional machine learning methods in tasks ranging from protein contact map prediction to protein folding, prediction of protein-protein interaction interfaces, and characterization of protein-drug binding pockets. In particular, emergence of ab initio protein structure prediction methods including AlphaFold2 has revolutionized protein structural modeling. From a protein function perspective, numerous deep learning methods have facilitated deconvolution of the exact amino acid residues and protein surface regions responsible for binding other proteins or small molecule drugs. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of recent deep learning methods applied in structural proteomics.

Project description:Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging is an important tool for mapping tissue microstructure and structural connectivity non-invasively in the in vivo human brain. Numerous diffusion signal models are proposed to quantify microstructural properties. Nonetheless, accurate estimation of model parameters is computationally expensive and impeded by image noise. Supervised deep learning-based estimation approaches exhibit efficiency and superior performance but require additional training data and may be not generalizable. A new DIffusion Model OptimizatioN framework using physics-informed and self-supervised Deep learning entitled "DIMOND" is proposed to address this problem. DIMOND employs a neural network to map input image data to model parameters and optimizes the network by minimizing the difference between the input acquired data and synthetic data generated via the diffusion model parametrized by network outputs. DIMOND produces accurate diffusion tensor imaging results and is generalizable across subjects and datasets. Moreover, DIMOND outperforms conventional methods for fitting sophisticated microstructural models including the kurtosis and NODDI model. Importantly, DIMOND reduces NODDI model fitting time from hours to minutes, or seconds by leveraging transfer learning. In summary, the self-supervised manner, high efficacy, and efficiency of DIMOND increase the practical feasibility and adoption of microstructure and connectivity mapping in clinical and neuroscientific applications.
