Hierarchical Bayesian neural network for gene expression temporal patterns.

Statistical Applications in Genetics and Molecular Biology
Yulan Liang, Arpad Kelemen

Abstract

There are several important issues to be addressed for gene expression temporal patterns' analysis: first, the correlation structure of multidimensional temporal data; second, the numerous sources of variations with existing high level noise; and last, gene expression mostly involves heterogeneous multiple dynamic patterns. We propose a Hierarchical Bayesian Neural Network model to account for the input correlations of time course gene array data. The variations in absolute gene expression levels and the noise can be estimated with the hierarchical Bayesian setting. The network parameters and the hyperparameters were simultaneously optimized with Monte Carlo Markov Chain simulation. Results show that the proposed model and algorithm can well capture the dynamic feature of gene expression temporal patterns despite the high noise levels, the highly correlated inputs, the overwhelming interactions, and other complex features typically present in microarray data. We test and demonstrate the proposed models with yeast cell cycle temporal data sets. The model performance of Hierarchical Bayesian Neural Network was compared to other popular machine learning methods such as Nearest Neighbor, Support Vector Machine, and Self Organized Map.

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.
