Selecting appropriate datasets is critical in modern computer vision. However, no general-purpose tools exist to evaluate the extent to which two datasets differ. For this, we propose representing images - and by extension datasets - using…
We present a novel coupled two-way clustering approach to gene microarray data analysis. The main idea is to identify subsets of the genes and samples, such that when one of these is used to cluster the other, stable and significant…
Many machine learning models have been proposed to classify phenotypes from gene expression data. In addition to their good performance, these models can potentially provide some understanding of phenotypes by extracting explanations for…
Rapidly growing public gene expression databases contain a wealth of data for building an unprecedentedly detailed picture of human biology and disease. This data comes from many diverse measurement platforms that make integrating it all…
Metagenome, a mixture of different genomes (as a rule, bacterial), represents a pattern, and the analysis of its composition is, currently, one of the challenging problems of bioinformatics. In the present study, the possibility of…
Motivation: Microarray data has been recently been shown to be efficacious in distinguishing closely related cell types that often appear in the diagnosis of cancer. It is useful to determine the minimum number of genes needed to do such a…
A general theoretical framework is put forth to organize and understand various observed phenomena and mathematical relationships in the field of molecular biology. By modeling each cell in eukaryotic organisms as a processor having a…
We combine two important ideas in the analysis of large-scale genomics experiments (e.g. experiments that aim to identify genes that are differentially expressed between two conditions). The first is use of Empirical Bayes (EB) methods to…
The effort to identify genes with periodic expression during the cell cycle from genome-wide microarray time series data has been ongoing for a decade. However, the lack of rigorous modeling of periodic expression as well as the lack of a…
Cell populations are never truly homogeneous; individual cells exist in biochemical states that define functional differences between them. New technology based on microfluidic arrays combined with multiplexed quantitative polymerase chain…
It has been shown that a random-effects framework can be used to test the association between a gene's expression level and the number of DNA copies of a set of genes. This gene-set modelling framework was later applied to find associations…
High-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has emerged as a revolutionary and powerful technology for expression profiling. Most proposed methods for detecting differentially expressed (DE) genes from RNA-seq are based on statistics that…
Unraveling the co-expression of genes across studies enhances the understanding of cellular processes. Inferring gene co-expression networks from transcriptome data presents many challenges, including spurious gene correlations, sample…
Various approaches to gene selection for cancer classification based on microarray data can be found in the literature and they may be grouped into two categories: univariate methods and multivariate methods. Univariate methods look at each…
Gene co-expression network differential analysis is designed to help biologists understand gene expression patterns under different condition. By comparing different gene co-expression networks we may find conserved part as well as…
Gene set analysis, a popular approach for analyzing high-throughput gene expression data, aims to identify sets of related genes that show significantly enriched or depleted expression patterns between different conditions. In the last…
We study mathematically a method for discovering which gene is related to a cell phenotype of interest. The method is based on RNA interference -- a molecular process for gene deactivation -- and on coupling the phenotype with fluorescence…
Estimating and testing for differences in molecular phenotypes (e.g. gene expression, chromatin accessibility, transcription factor binding) across conditions is an important part of understanding the molecular basis of gene regulation.…
In differential expression (DE) analysis of RNA-seq count data, it is known that genes with a larger read number are more likely to be differentially expressed. This bias has a profound effect on the subsequent Gene Ontology (GO) analysis…
Statistical analysis of DNA mixtures is known to pose computational challenges due to the enormous state space of possible DNA profiles. We propose a Bayesian network representation for genotypes, allowing computations to be performed…
