FusionAI: Predicting fusion breakpoint from DNA sequence with deep learning.

ABSTRACT: Identifying the molecular mechanisms related to genomic breakage is an important goal of cancer mechanism studies. Among diverse locations of structural variants, fusion genes, which have the breakpoints in the gene bodies and are typically identified from the split reads of RNA-seq data, can provide a highlighted structural variant resource for studying the genomic breakages with expression and potential pathogenic impacts. In this study, we developed FusionAI, which utilizes deep learning to predict gene fusion breakpoints based on DNA sequence and let us identify fusion breakage code and genomic context. FusionAI leverages the known fusion breakpoints to provide a prediction model of the fusion genes from the primary genomic sequences via deep learning, thereby helping researchers a more accurate selection of fusion genes and better understand genomic breakage.

Predicting 3D chromatin interactions from DNA sequence using Deep Learning.

Project description:Gene regulation in eukaryotes is profoundly shaped by the 3D organization of chromatin within the cell nucleus. Distal regulatory interactions between enhancers and their target genes are widespread and many causal loci underlying heritable agricultural or clinical traits have been mapped to distal cis-regulatory elements. Dissecting the sequence features that mediate such distal interactions is key to understanding their underlying biology. Deep Learning (DL) models coupled with genome-wide 3C-based sequencing data have emerged as powerful tools to infer the DNA sequence grammar underlying such distal interactions. In this review we show that most DL models have remarkably high prediction accuracy, which indicates that DNA sequence features are important determinants of chromatin looping. However, DL model training has so far been limited to a small set of human cell lines, raising questions about the generalization of these predictions to other tissue-types and species. Furthermore, we find that the model architecture seems less relevant for model performance than the training strategy and the data preparation step. Transfer learning, coupled with functionally curated interactions, appear to be the most promising approach to learn cell-type specific and possibly species- specific sequence features in future applications.

A deep learning model for predicting next-generation sequencing depth from DNA sequence.

Project description:Targeted high-throughput DNA sequencing is a primary approach for genomics and molecular diagnostics, and more recently as a readout for DNA information storage. Oligonucleotide probes used to enrich gene loci of interest have different hybridization kinetics, resulting in non-uniform coverage that increases sequencing costs and decreases sequencing sensitivities. Here, we present a deep learning model (DLM) for predicting Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) depth from DNA probe sequences. Our DLM includes a bidirectional recurrent neural network that takes as input both DNA nucleotide identities as well as the calculated probability of the nucleotide being unpaired. We apply our DLM to three different NGS panels: a 39,145-plex panel for human single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), a 2000-plex panel for human long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), and a 7373-plex panel targeting non-human sequences for DNA information storage. In cross-validation, our DLM predicts sequencing depth to within a factor of 3 with 93% accuracy for the SNP panel, and 99% accuracy for the non-human panel. In independent testing, the DLM predicts the lncRNA panel with 89% accuracy when trained on the SNP panel. The same model is also effective at predicting the measured single-plex kinetic rate constants of DNA hybridization and strand displacement.

Evolutionarily informed deep learning methods for predicting relative transcript abundance from DNA sequence.

Project description:Deep learning methodologies have revolutionized prediction in many fields and show potential to do the same in molecular biology and genetics. However, applying these methods in their current forms ignores evolutionary dependencies within biological systems and can result in false positives and spurious conclusions. We developed two approaches that account for evolutionary relatedness in machine learning models: (i) gene-family-guided splitting and (ii) ortholog contrasts. The first approach accounts for evolution by constraining model training and testing sets to include different gene families. The second approach uses evolutionarily informed comparisons between orthologous genes to both control for and leverage evolutionary divergence during the training process. The two approaches were explored and validated within the context of mRNA expression level prediction and have the area under the ROC curve (auROC) values ranging from 0.75 to 0.94. Model weight inspections showed biologically interpretable patterns, resulting in the hypothesis that the 3' UTR is more important for fine-tuning mRNA abundance levels while the 5' UTR is more important for large-scale changes.

Predicting protein-protein interactions through sequence-based deep learning.

Project description:MotivationHigh-throughput experimental techniques have produced a large amount of protein-protein interaction (PPI) data, but their coverage is still low and the PPI data is also very noisy. Computational prediction of PPIs can be used to discover new PPIs and identify errors in the experimental PPI data.ResultsWe present a novel deep learning framework, DPPI, to model and predict PPIs from sequence information alone. Our model efficiently applies a deep, Siamese-like convolutional neural network combined with random projection and data augmentation to predict PPIs, leveraging existing high-quality experimental PPI data and evolutionary information of a protein pair under prediction. Our experimental results show that DPPI outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on several benchmarks in terms of area under precision-recall curve (auPR), and computationally is more efficient. We also show that DPPI is able to predict homodimeric interactions where other methods fail to work accurately, and the effectiveness of DPPI in specific applications such as predicting cytokine-receptor binding affinities.Availability and implementationPredicting protein-protein interactions through sequence-based deep learning): https://github.com/hashemifar/DPPI/.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Predicting DNA structure using a deep learning method.

Project description:Understanding the mechanisms of protein-DNA binding is critical in comprehending gene regulation. Three-dimensional DNA structure, also described as DNA shape, plays a key role in these mechanisms. In this study, we present a deep learning-based method, Deep DNAshape, that fundamentally changes the current k-mer based high-throughput prediction of DNA shape features by accurately accounting for the influence of extended flanking regions, without the need for extensive molecular simulations or structural biology experiments. By using the Deep DNAshape method, DNA structural features can be predicted for any length and number of DNA sequences in a high-throughput manner, providing an understanding of the effects of flanking regions on DNA structure in a target region of a sequence. The Deep DNAshape method provides access to the influence of distant flanking regions on a region of interest. Our findings reveal that DNA shape readout mechanisms of a core target are quantitatively affected by flanking regions, including extended flanking regions, providing valuable insights into the detailed structural readout mechanisms of protein-DNA binding. Furthermore, when incorporated in machine learning models, the features generated by Deep DNAshape improve the model prediction accuracy. Collectively, Deep DNAshape can serve as versatile and powerful tool for diverse DNA structure-related studies.

DeepD2V: A Novel Deep Learning-Based Framework for Predicting Transcription Factor Binding Sites from Combined DNA Sequence.

Project description:Predicting in vivo protein-DNA binding sites is a challenging but pressing task in a variety of fields like drug design and development. Most promoters contain a number of transcription factor (TF) binding sites, but only a small minority has been identified by biochemical experiments that are time-consuming and laborious. To tackle this challenge, many computational methods have been proposed to predict TF binding sites from DNA sequence. Although previous methods have achieved remarkable performance in the prediction of protein-DNA interactions, there is still considerable room for improvement. In this paper, we present a hybrid deep learning framework, termed DeepD2V, for transcription factor binding sites prediction. First, we construct the input matrix with an original DNA sequence and its three kinds of variant sequences, including its inverse, complementary, and complementary inverse sequence. A sliding window of size k with a specific stride is used to obtain its k-mer representation of input sequences. Next, we use word2vec to obtain a pre-trained k-mer word distributed representation model. Finally, the probability of protein-DNA binding is predicted by using the recurrent and convolutional neural network. The experiment results on 50 public ChIP-seq benchmark datasets demonstrate the superior performance and robustness of DeepD2V. Moreover, we verify that the performance of DeepD2V using word2vec-based k-mer distributed representation is better than one-hot encoding, and the integrated framework of both convolutional neural network (CNN) and bidirectional LSTM (bi-LSTM) outperforms CNN or the bi-LSTM model when used alone. The source code of DeepD2V is available at the github repository.

HydRA: Deep-learning models for predicting RNA-binding capacity from protein interaction association context and protein sequence

Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) control RNA metabolism to orchestrate gene expression, and dysfunctional RBPs underlie many human diseases. Proteome-wide discovery efforts predict thousands of novel RBPs, many of which lack canonical RNA-binding domains. Here, we present a hybrid ensemble RBP classifier (HydRA) that leverages information from both intermolecular protein interactions and internal protein sequence patterns to predict RNA-binding capacity with unparalleled specificity and sensitivity using support vector machine, convolutional neural networks and transformer-based protein language models. HydRA enables Occlusion Mapping to robustly detect known RNA-binding domains and to predict hundreds of uncharacterized RNA-binding domains. Enhanced CLIP validation for a diverse collection of RBP candidates reveals genome-wide targets and confirms RNA-binding activity for HydRA-predicted domains. The HydRA computational framework accelerates construction of a comprehensive RBP catalogue and expands the set of known RNA-binding protein domains.

Predicting effects of noncoding variants with deep learning-based sequence model.

Project description:Identifying functional effects of noncoding variants is a major challenge in human genetics. To predict the noncoding-variant effects de novo from sequence, we developed a deep learning-based algorithmic framework, DeepSEA (http://deepsea.princeton.edu/), that directly learns a regulatory sequence code from large-scale chromatin-profiling data, enabling prediction of chromatin effects of sequence alterations with single-nucleotide sensitivity. We further used this capability to improve prioritization of functional variants including expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) and disease-associated variants.

EnContact: predicting enhancer-enhancer contacts using sequence-based deep learning model.

Project description:Chromatin contacts between regulatory elements are of crucial importance for the interpretation of transcriptional regulation and the understanding of disease mechanisms. However, existing computational methods mainly focus on the prediction of interactions between enhancers and promoters, leaving enhancer-enhancer (E-E) interactions not well explored. In this work, we develop a novel deep learning approach, named Enhancer-enhancer contacts prediction (EnContact), to predict E-E contacts using genomic sequences as input. We statistically demonstrated the predicting ability of EnContact using training sets and testing sets derived from HiChIP data of seven cell lines. We also show that our model significantly outperforms other baseline methods. Besides, our model identifies finer-mapping E-E interactions from region-based chromatin contacts, where each region contains several enhancers. In addition, we identify a class of hub enhancers using the predicted E-E interactions and find that hub enhancers tend to be active across cell lines. We summarize that our EnContact model is capable of predicting E-E interactions using features automatically learned from genomic sequences.
