PheWAS-ME: a web-app for interactive exploration of multimorbidity patterns in PheWAS.

ABSTRACT:

Summary

Electronic health records (EHRs) linked with a DNA biobank provide unprecedented opportunities for biomedical research in precision medicine. The Phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) is a widely used technique for the evaluation of relationships between genetic variants and a large collection of clinical phenotypes recorded in EHRs. PheWAS analyses are typically presented as static tables and charts of summary statistics obtained from statistical tests of association between a genetic variant and individual phenotypes. Comorbidities are common and typically lead to complex, multivariate gene-disease association signals that are challenging to interpret. Discovering and interrogating multimorbidity patterns and their influence in PheWAS is difficult and time-consuming. We present PheWAS-ME: an interactive dashboard to visualize individual-level genotype and phenotype data side-by-side with PheWAS analysis results, allowing researchers to explore multimorbidity patterns and their associations with a genetic variant of interest. We expect this application to enrich PheWAS analyses by illuminating clinical multimorbidity patterns present in the data.

Availability and implementation

A demo PheWAS-ME application is publicly available at https://prod.tbilab.org/phewas_me/. Sample datasets are provided for exploration with the option to upload custom PheWAS results and corresponding individual-level data.

MiBiOmics: an interactive web application for multi-omics data exploration and integration.

Project description:BackgroundMulti-omics experimental approaches are becoming common practice in biological and medical sciences underlining the need to design new integrative techniques and applications to enable the multi-scale characterization of biological systems. The integrative analysis of heterogeneous datasets generally allows to acquire additional insights and generate novel hypotheses about a given biological system. However, it can become challenging given the often-large size of omics datasets and the diversity of existing techniques. Moreover, visualization tools for interpretation are usually non-accessible to biologists without programming skills.ResultsHere, we present MiBiOmics, a web-based and standalone application that facilitates multi-omics data visualization, exploration, integration, and analysis by providing easy access to dedicated and interactive protocols. It implements classical ordination techniques and the inference of omics-based (multilayer) networks to mine complex biological systems, and identify robust biomarkers linked to specific contextual parameters or biological states.ConclusionsMiBiOmics provides easy-access to exploratory ordination techniques and to a network-based approach for integrative multi-omics analyses through an intuitive and interactive interface. MiBiOmics is currently available as a Shiny app at https://shiny-bird.univ-nantes.fr/app/Mibiomics and as a standalone application at https://gitlab.univ-nantes.fr/combi-ls2n/mibiomics .

Efficient exploration of pan-cancer networks by generalized covariance selection and interactive web content.

Project description:Statistical network modeling techniques are increasingly important tools to analyze cancer genomics data. However, current tools and resources are not designed to work across multiple diagnoses and technical platforms, thus limiting their applicability to comprehensive pan-cancer datasets such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). To address this, we describe a new data driven modeling method, based on generalized Sparse Inverse Covariance Selection (SICS). The method integrates genetic, epigenetic and transcriptional data from multiple cancers, to define links that are present in multiple cancers, a subset of cancers, or a single cancer. It is shown to be statistically robust and effective at detecting direct pathway links in data from TCGA. To facilitate interpretation of the results, we introduce a publicly accessible tool (cancerlandscapes.org), in which the derived networks are explored as interactive web content, linked to several pathway and pharmacological databases. To evaluate the performance of the method, we constructed a model for eight TCGA cancers, using data from 3900 patients. The model rediscovered known mechanisms and contained interesting predictions. Possible applications include prediction of regulatory relationships, comparison of network modules across multiple forms of cancer and identification of drug targets.

Interactive exploration of microarray gene expression patterns in a reduced dimensional space.

Project description:The very high dimensional space of gene expression measurements obtained by DNA microarrays impedes the detection of underlying patterns in gene expression data and the identification of discriminatory genes. In this paper we show the use of projection methods such as principal components analysis (PCA) to obtain a direct link between patterns in the genes and patterns in samples. This feature is useful in the initial interactive pattern exploration of gene expression data and data-driven learning of the nature and types of samples. Using oligonucleotide microarray measurements of 40 samples from different normal human tissues, we show that distinct patterns are obtained when the genes are projected on a two-dimensional plane spanned by the loadings of the two major principal components. These patterns define the particular genes associated with a sample class (i.e., tissue). When used separately from the other genes, these class-specific (i.e., tissue-specific) genes in turn define distinct tissue patterns in the projection space spanned by the scores of the two major principal components. In this study, PCA projection facilitated discriminatory gene selection for different tissues and identified tissue-specific gene expression signatures for liver, skeletal muscle, and brain samples. Furthermore, it allowed the classification of nine new samples belonging to these three types using the linear combination of the expression levels of the tissue-specific genes determined from the first set of samples. The application of the technique to other published data sets is also discussed.

Gene Circuit Explorer (GeneEx): an interactive web-app for visualizing, simulating and analyzing gene regulatory circuits.

Project description:SummaryGeneEx is an interactive web-app that uses an ODE-based mathematical modeling approach to simulate, visualize and analyze gene regulatory circuits (GRCs) for an explicit kinetic parameter set or for a large ensemble of random parameter sets. GeneEx offers users the freedom to modify many aspects of the simulation such as the parameter ranges, the levels of gene expression noise and the GRC network topology itself. This degree of flexibility allows users to explore a variety of hypotheses by providing insight into the number and stability of attractors for a given GRC. Moreover, users have the option to upload, and subsequently compare, experimental gene expression data to simulated data generated from the analysis of a built or uploaded custom circuit. Finally, GeneEx offers a curated database that contains circuit motifs and known biological GRCs to facilitate further inquiry into these. Overall, GeneEx enables users to investigate the effects of parameter variation, stochasticity and/or topological changes on gene expression for GRCs using a systems-biology approach.Availability and implementationGeneEx is available at https://geneex.jax.org. This web-app is released under the MIT license and is free and open to all users and there is no mandatory login requirement.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

C-State: an interactive web app for simultaneous multi-gene visualization and comparative epigenetic pattern search.

Project description:BackgroundComparative epigenomic analysis across multiple genes presents a bottleneck for bench biologists working with NGS data. Despite the development of standardized peak analysis algorithms, the identification of novel epigenetic patterns and their visualization across gene subsets remains a challenge.ResultsWe developed a fast and interactive web app, C-State (Chromatin-State), to query and plot chromatin landscapes across multiple loci and cell types. C-State has an interactive, JavaScript-based graphical user interface and runs locally in modern web browsers that are pre-installed on all computers, thus eliminating the need for cumbersome data transfer, pre-processing and prior programming knowledge.ConclusionsC-State is unique in its ability to extract and analyze multi-gene epigenetic information. It allows for powerful GUI-based pattern searching and visualization. We include a case study to demonstrate its potential for identifying user-defined epigenetic trends in context of gene expression profiles.

ProteomeVis: a web app for exploration of protein properties from structure to sequence evolution across organisms' proteomes.

Project description:Motivation:Protein evolution spans time scales and its effects span the length of an organism. A web app named ProteomeVis is developed to provide a comprehensive view of protein evolution in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli proteomes. ProteomeVis interactively creates protein chain graphs, where edges between nodes represent structure and sequence similarities within user-defined ranges, to study the long time scale effects of protein structure evolution. The short time scale effects of protein sequence evolution are studied by sequence evolutionary rate (ER) correlation analyses with protein properties that span from the molecular to the organismal level. Results:We demonstrate the utility and versatility of ProteomeVis by investigating the distribution of edges per node in organismal protein chain universe graphs (oPCUGs) and putative ER determinants. S.cerevisiae and E.coli oPCUGs are scale-free with scaling constants of 1.79 and 1.56, respectively. Both scaling constants can be explained by a previously reported theoretical model describing protein structure evolution. Protein abundance most strongly correlates with ER among properties in ProteomeVis, with Spearman correlations of -0.49 (P-value?<?10-10) and -0.46 (P-value?<?10-10) for S.cerevisiae and E.coli, respectively. This result is consistent with previous reports that found protein expression to be the most important ER determinant. Availability and implementation:ProteomeVis is freely accessible at http://proteomevis.chem.harvard.edu. Supplementary information:Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
