Computational method for discovery of biomarker signatures from large, complex data sets

Computational Biology and Chemistry
Vladimir Makarov, Alex Gorlin

Abstract

We present an efficient method for identifying of reliable biomarker panels from large multivariate data sets that typically result from experiments that monitor changes in RNA, small molecule, or protein abundance. Our computational methodology is developed and validated on the toxicogenomics database Drug Matrix that in its largest category contains 1656 recognition targets, characterized by the toxicant, dose and time (or duration) of the exposure. We were able to recognize both individual experimental conditions (compound, dose and time combinations) and the cases where the values for dose and time variables fall within the intervals in the training data, but do not match the training data exactly. Inclusion of gene expression information for multiple organs improved accuracy of recognition. Inclusion of time response information into consideration allowed us to develop particularly accurate marker panels for a large number of targets: we were able to recognize 176 compounds (out of 316) at greater than 90% accuracy. The presented methodology has an immediate application for discovery of diagnostic biomarker panels for exposure to various toxicity hazards, and may also be useful for development of biological markers for med...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
