Project description:Recent advances in chromatin architecture profiling technologies, such as single-cell Hi-C (scHi-C), allow us to dissect the heterogeneity of chromosome higher-order structures across diverse cell states and different individuals. However, scHi-C experiments are still expensive and not immediately available for population-scale profiling. Here, we present scENCORE, a computational method, to reconstruct personalized and cell-type-specific higher-order chromatin structures, such as A/B compartments, directly from more cost-effective and widely available single-cell epigenetic data (e.g., scATAC-seq). We apply scENCORE on scATAC-seq data from post-mortem prefrontal cortex brains and demonstrate its utility to 1) project Mega-base scale chromatin regions into lower dimensional space by leveraging graph embedding technologies based on cell-type-specific co-variability patterns, 2) define A/B compartments via unsupervised clustering, 3) perform an alignment algorithm for multi-graph embedding to derive comparable chromatin representations and highlight dynamic chromatin compartments across cell states and individuals. Validated by Hi-C experiments using FACS-sorted cells, scENCORE can faithfully reconstruct cell-type-specific chromatin compartments. Furthermore, scENCORE uniformly constructs chromosome conformation across population-scale scATAC-seq data and discovers key 3D structural switching events associated with psychiatric disorders. In summary, scENCORE allows cost-effective cell-type-specific and personalized reconstruction that delineate higher-order chromatin structures.

Project description:Automatic representation learning of key entities in electronic health record (EHR) data is a critical step for healthcare data mining that turns heterogeneous medical records into structured and actionable information. Here we propose ME2Vec, an algorithmic framework for learning continuous low-dimensional embedding vectors of the most common entities in EHR: medical services, doctors, and patients. ME2Vec features a hierarchical structure that encapsulates different node embedding schemes to cater for the unique characteristic of each medical entity. To embed medical services, we employ a biased-random-walk-based node embedding that leverages the irregular time intervals of medical services in EHR to embody their relative importance. To embed doctors and patients, we adhere to the principle "it's what you do that defines you" and derive their embeddings based on their interactions with other types of entities through graph neural network and proximity-preserving network embedding, respectively. Using real-world clinical data, we demonstrate the efficacy of ME2Vec over competitive baselines on diagnosis prediction, readmission prediction, as well as recommending doctors to patients based on their medical conditions. In addition, medical service embeddings pretrained using ME2Vec can substantially improve the performance of sequential models in predicting patients clinical outcomes. Overall, ME2Vec can serve as a general-purpose representation learning algorithm for EHR data and benefit various downstream tasks in terms of both performance and interpretability.

Project description:Synthetic lethality (SL) has shown great promise for the discovery of novel targets in cancer. CRISPR double-knockout (CDKO) technologies can only screen several hundred genes and their combinations, but not genome-wide. Therefore, good SL prediction models are highly needed for genes and gene pairs selection in CDKO experiments. In this paper, we develop a novel multi-layer encoder for individual sample-specific SL prediction (MLEC-iSL). Unlike existing SL prediction models, MLEC-iSL is built to predict SL connectivity first. Because SL connectivity is scalable from existing genes in the training data to new genes in validation data, we hypothesize MLEC-iSL has better SL prediction performance. MLEC-iSL has three encoders, namely gene encoder, graph encoder, and transformer encoder. MLEC-iSL has high performance in K562 (AUPR, 0.73; AUC, 0.72) and Jurkat (AUPR, 0.73; AUC, 0.71) cells while no existing methods exceed 0.62 AUPR and AUC in either cell. MLEC-iSL guided CDKO experiment in 22Rv1 cells yielded a 46.8% SL ratio amongst its selected gene pairs. Six of top ten SL connectivity hub genes are validated in 22Rv1 cells. It reveals SL gene pairs and dependency between apoptosis and mitosis cell death pathways.

Project description:We report an investigation of low-temperature embedding media in terms of their mechanical properties and embedding temperature, with the goal of determining a reliable embedding medium for the combination of MALDI MSI of lipids, laser-capture microdissection of tissue regions, and quantitative proteomics. We compared embedded and non-embedded tissues to ensure that the embedding media did not interfere with the analysis.

Project description:Chromatin interaction studies can reveal how the genome is organized into spatially confined sub-compartments in the nucleus. However, accurately identifying sub-compartments from chromatin interaction data remains a challenge in computational biology. Here, we present Sub-Compartment Identifier (SCI), an algorithm that uses graph embedding followed by unsupervised learning to predict sub-compartments using Hi-C chromatin interaction data. We find that the network topological centrality and clustering performance of SCI sub-compartment predictions are superior to those of hidden Markov model (HMM) sub-compartment predictions. Moreover, using orthogonal Chromatin Interaction Analysis by in-situ Paired-End Tag Sequencing (ChIA-PET) data, we confirmed that SCI sub-compartment prediction outperforms HMM. We show that SCI-predicted sub-compartments have distinct epigenetic marks, transcriptional activities, and transcription factor enrichment. Moreover, we present a deep neural network to predict sub-compartments using epigenome, replication timing, and sequence data. Our neural network predicts more accurate sub-compartment predictions when SCI-determined sub-compartments are used as labels for training.

Project description:In this research, we improve upon the current state of the art in entity retrieval by re-ranking the result list using graph embeddings. The paper shows that graph embeddings are useful for entity-oriented search tasks. We demonstrate empirically that encoding information from the knowledge graph into (graph) embeddings contributes to a higher increase in effectiveness of entity retrieval results than using plain word embeddings. We analyze the impact of the accuracy of the entity linker on the overall retrieval effectiveness. Our analysis further deploys the cluster hypothesis to explain the observed advantages of graph embeddings over the more widely used word embeddings, for user tasks involving ranking entities.
