Project description:Time-course expression profiles and methods for spectrum analysis have been applied for detecting transcriptional periodicities, which are valuable patterns to unravel genes associated with cell cycle and circadian rhythm regulation. However, most of the proposed methods suffer from restrictions and large false positives to a certain extent. Additionally, in some experiments, arbitrarily irregular sampling times as well as the presence of high noise and small sample sizes make accurate detection a challenging task. A novel scheme for detecting periodicities in time-course expression data is proposed, in which a real-valued iterative adaptive approach (RIAA), originally proposed for signal processing, is applied for periodogram estimation. The inferred spectrum is then analyzed using Fisher's hypothesis test. With a proper p-value threshold, periodic genes can be detected. A periodic signal, two nonperiodic signals, and four sampling strategies were considered in the simulations, including both bursts and drops. In addition, two yeast real datasets were applied for validation. The simulations and real data analysis reveal that RIAA can perform competitively with the existing algorithms. The advantage of RIAA is manifested when the expression data are highly irregularly sampled, and when the number of cycles covered by the sampling time points is very reduced.

Project description:We introduce a principled approach for simultaneous mapping and clustering (SMAC) for establishing consistent maps across heterogeneous object collections (e.g., 2D images or 3D shapes). Our approach takes as input a heterogeneous object collection and a set of maps computed between some pairs of objects, and outputs a homogeneous object clustering together with a new set of maps possessing optimal intra- and inter-cluster consistency. Our approach is based on the spectral decomposition of a data matrix storing all pairwise maps in its blocks. We additionally provide tight theoretical guarantees for the accuracy of SMAC under established noise models. We also demonstrate the usefulness of our approach on synthetic and real datasets.

Project description:Identifying protein coding regions in DNA sequences by computational methods is an active research topic. Welan gum produced by Sphingomonas sp. WG has great application potential in oil recovery and concrete construction industry. Predicting the coding regions in the Sphingomonas sp. WG genome and addressing the mechanism underlying the explanation for the synthesis of Welan gum metabolism is an important issue at present. In this study, we apply a self adaptive spectral rotation (SASR, for short) method, which is based on the investigation of the Triplet Periodicity property, to predict the coding regions of the whole-genome data of Sphingomonas sp. WG without any previous training process, and 1115 suspected gene fragments are obtained. Suspected gene fragments are subjected to a similarity search against the non-redundant protein sequences (nr) database of NCBI with blastx, and 762 suspected gene fragments have been labeled as genes in the nr database.

Project description:Identifying protein-coding regions in DNA sequences is an active issue in computational biology. In this study, we present a self adaptive spectral rotation (SASR) approach, which visualizes coding regions in DNA sequences, based on investigation of the Triplet Periodicity property, without any preceding training process. It is proposed to help with the rough coding regions prediction when there is no extra information for the training required by other outstanding methods. In this approach, at each position in the DNA sequence, a Fourier spectrum is calculated from the posterior subsequence. Following the spectrums, a random walk in complex plane is generated as the SASR's graphic output. Applications of the SASR on real DNA data show that patterns in the graphic output reveal locations of the coding regions and the frame shifts between them: arcs indicate coding regions, stable points indicate non-coding regions and corners' shapes reveal frame shifts. Tests on genomic data set from Saccharomyces Cerevisiae reveal that the graphic patterns for coding and non-coding regions differ to a great extent, so that the coding regions can be visually distinguished. Meanwhile, a time cost test shows that the SASR can be easily implemented with the computational complexity of O(N).

Project description:Somatic cell hybrid (SCH) panels and radiation hybrid (RH) panels are powerful resources for comparative gene mapping because gene assignments are made without the detection of genetic polymorphism as needed for linkage mapping. A frequently encountered problem, however, is that the gene specific primers may amplify homologous PCR products of equal length from the donor and recipient species of the panel. Here, we describe a simple solution to this problem in which we utilize the formation of interspecies heteroduplexes that can be easily distinguished from the corresponding homoduplexes by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. We denote these DNA-DNA interspecies hybrids, xenoduplexes (xeno = Gr. Xenos, foreigner). A merit of the method is that the formation of xenoduplexes strongly suggests that the PCR products from the two species represent homologous sequences. The method is thus particularly useful for comparative gene mapping when the PCR primers have been designed by use of sequence information from other species. In this study we have successfully used xenoduplex analysis and a pig-rodent SCH panel to map seven porcine genes (ACADM, AT3, HOXD, IL8RB, LEPR, PAX8, PKLR) for which no previous sequence information was available. The assignment of the leptin receptor gene (LEPR) to pig chromosome 6q32-35 excluded LEPR as a candidate gene for a QTL on pig chromosome 4 with a major effect on fatness.

Project description:Many studies of biomedical time series signals aim to measure the association between frequency-domain properties of time series and clinical and behavioral covariates. However, the time-varying dynamics of these associations are largely ignored due to a lack of methods that can assess the changing nature of the relationship through time. This article introduces a method for the simultaneous and automatic analysis of the association between the time-varying power spectrum and covariates, which we refer to as conditional adaptive Bayesian spectrum analysis (CABS). The procedure adaptively partitions the grid of time and covariate values into an unknown number of approximately stationary blocks and nonparametrically estimates local spectra within blocks through penalized splines. CABS is formulated in a fully Bayesian framework, in which the number and locations of partition points are random, and fit using reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques. Estimation and inference averaged over the distribution of partitions allows for the accurate analysis of spectra with both smooth and abrupt changes. The proposed methodology is used to analyze the association between the time-varying spectrum of heart rate variability and self-reported sleep quality in a study of older adults serving as the primary caregiver for their ill spouse.

Project description:This article introduces a nonparametric approach to spectral analysis of a high-dimensional multivariate nonstationary time series. The procedure is based on a novel frequency-domain factor model that provides a flexible yet parsimonious representation of spectral matrices from a large number of simultaneously observed time series. Real and imaginary parts of the factor loading matrices are modeled independently using a prior that is formulated from the tensor product of penalized splines and multiplicative gamma process shrinkage priors, allowing for infinitely many factors with loadings increasingly shrunk towards zero as the column index increases. Formulated in a fully Bayesian framework, the time series is adaptively partitioned into approximately stationary segments, where both the number and locations of partition points are assumed unknown. Stochastic approximation Monte Carlo (SAMC) techniques are used to accommodate the unknown number of segments, and a conditional Whittle likelihood-based Gibbs sampler is developed for efficient sampling within segments. By averaging over the distribution of partitions, the proposed method can approximate both abrupt and slowly varying changes in spectral matrices. Performance of the proposed model is evaluated by extensive simulations and demonstrated through the analysis of high-density electroencephalography.

Project description:Neuroinflammation and microglial activation play an important role in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease. In this study, we investigated the spatial distribution of neuroinflammation in MCI subjects, using spectral analysis (SA) to generate parametric maps and quantify 11C-PBR28 PET, and compared these with compartmental and other kinetic models of quantification.Thirteen MCI and nine healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Subjects underwent 11C-PBR28 PET scans with arterial cannulation. Spectral analysis with an arterial plasma input function was used to generate 11C-PBR28 parametric maps. These maps were then compared with regional 11C-PBR28 VT (volume of distribution) using a two-tissue compartment model and Logan graphic analysis. Amyloid load was also assessed with 18F-Flutemetamol PET.With SA, three component peaks were identified in addition to blood volume. The 11C-PBR28 impulse response function (IRF) at 90 min produced the lowest coefficient of variation. Single-subject analysis using this IRF demonstrated microglial activation in five out of seven amyloid-positive MCI subjects. IRF parametric maps of 11C-PBR28 uptake revealed a group-wise significant increase in neuroinflammation in amyloid-positive MCI subjects versus HC in multiple cortical association areas, and particularly in the temporal lobe. Interestingly, compartmental analysis detected group-wise increase in 11C-PBR28 binding in the thalamus of amyloid-positive MCI subjects, while Logan parametric maps did not perform well.This study demonstrates for the first time that spectral analysis can be used to generate parametric maps of 11C-PBR28 uptake, and is able to detect microglial activation in amyloid-positive MCI subjects. IRF parametric maps of 11C-PBR28 uptake allow voxel-wise single-subject analysis and could be used to evaluate microglial activation in individual subjects.

Project description:A new method is presented to determine the retinal spectral sensitivity function S(λ) using the electroretinogram (ERG). S(λ)s were assessed in three different species of myomorph rodents, Gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus), Wistar rats (Ratus norvegicus), and mice (Mus musculus). The method, called AC Constant Method, is based on a computerized automatic feedback system that adjusts light intensity to maintain a constant-response amplitude to a flickering stimulus throughout the spectrum, as it is scanned from 300 to 700 nm, and back. The results are presented as the reciprocal of the intensity at each wavelength required to maintain a constant peak to peak response amplitude. The resulting S(λ) had two peaks in all three rodent species, corresponding to ultraviolet and M cones, respectively: 359 nm and 511 nm for mice, 362 nm and 493 nm for gerbils, and 362 nm and 502 nm for rats. Results for mouse and gerbil were similar to literature reports of S(λ) functions obtained with other methods, confirming that the ERG associated to the AC Constant-Response Method was effective to obtain reliable S(λ) functions. In addition, due to its fast data collection time, the AC Constant Response Method has the advantage of keeping the eye in a constant light adapted state.

Project description:Metabolomics is a potential approach to paving new avenues for clinical diagnosis, molecular medicine, and therapeutic drug monitoring and development. The conventional metabolomics analysis pipeline depends on the data-independent acquisition (DIA) technique. Although powerful, it still suffers from stochastic, non-reproducible ion selection across samples. Despite the presence of different metabolomics workbenches, metabolite identification remains a tedious and time-consuming task. Consequently, sequential windowed acquisition of all theoretical MS (SWATH) acquisition has attracted much attention to overcome this limitation. This article aims to develop a novel SWATH platform for data analysis with a generation of an accurate mass spectral library for metabolite identification using SWATH acquisition. The workflow was validated using inclusion/exclusion compound lists. The false-positive identification was 3.4% from the non-endogenous drugs with 96.6% specificity. The workflow has proven to overcome background noise despite the complexity of the SWATH sample. From the Human Metabolome Database (HMDB), 1282 compounds were tested in various biological samples to demonstrate the feasibility of the workflow. The current study identified 377 compounds in positive and 303 in negative modes with 392 unique non-redundant metabolites. Finally, a free software tool, SASA, was developed to analyze SWATH-acquired samples using the proposed pipeline.
