We propose a quantitative method to estimate the statistical properties of sets of genes for which expression data are available and co-registered to a reference atlas of the brain. It is based on graph-theoretic properties of co-expression…
We train a neural network to predict human gene expression levels based on experimental data for rat cells. The network is trained with paired human/rat samples from the Open TG-GATES database, where paired samples were treated with the…
A common practice in microarray analysis is to transform the microarray raw data (light intensity) by a logarithmic transformation, and the justification for this transformation is to make the distribution more symmetric and Gaussian-like.…
Stochastic simulation can make the molecular processes of cellular control more vivid than the traditional differential-equation approach by generating typical system histories instead of just statistical measures such as the mean and…
DNA-interacting proteins have roles multiple processes, many operating as molecular machines which undergo dynamic metastable transitions to bring about their biological function. To fully understand this molecular heterogeneity, DNA and…
Networks of genetic expression can be modelled by hypergraphs with the additional structure that real coefficients are given to each vertex-edge incidence. The spectra, i.e. the multiset of the eigenvalues, of such hypergraphs, are known to…
One important issue commonly encountered in the analysis of microarray data is to decide which and how many genes should be selected for further studies. For discriminant microarray data analyses based on statistical models, such as the…
Gene expression and phenotype association can be affected by potential unmeasured confounders from multiple sources, leading to biased estimates of the associations. Since genetic variants largely explain gene expression variations, they…
Cancer development is associated with aberrant DNA methylation, including increased stochastic variability. Statistical tests for discovering cancer methylation biomarkers have focused on changes in mean methylation. To improve the power of…
Detecting and discovering new gene interactions based on known gene expressions and gene interaction data presents a significant challenge. Various statistical and deep learning methods have attempted to tackle this challenge by leveraging…
Gene expression is significantly stochastic making modeling of genetic networks challenging. We present an approximation that allows the calculation of not only the mean and variance but also the distribution of protein numbers. We assume…
The quality of the inferences we make from pathogen sequence data is determined by the number and composition of pathogen sequences that make up the sample used to drive that inference. However, there remains limited guidance on how to best…
