Identifying significant subsets of the genes, gene shaving is an essential and challenging issue for biomedical research for a huge number of genes and the complex nature of biological networks,. Since positive definite kernel based methods…
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…
We propose a new multi-network-based strategy to integrate different layers of genomic information and use them in a coordinate way to identify driving cancer genes. The multi-networks that we consider combine transcription factor…
The biological roles of gene sets are used to group them into collections. These collections are often characterized by being high-dimensional, overlapping, and redundant families of sets, thus precluding a straightforward interpretation…
Vital node identification is the problem of finding nodes of highest importance in complex networks. This problem has crucial applications in various contexts such as viral marketing or controlling the propagation of virus or rumours in…
We present a technique to characterize differentially expressed genes in terms of their position in a high-dimensional co-expression network. The set-up of Gaussian graphical models is used to construct representations of the co-expression…
MOTIVATION: A central goal of postgenomic biology is the elucidation of the regulatory relationships among all cellular constituents that together comprise the 'genetic network' of a cell or microorganism. Experimental manipulation of gene…
Cancer detection is one of the key research topics in the medical field. Accurate detection of different cancer types is valuable in providing better treatment facilities and risk minimization for patients. This paper deals with the…
It has been estimated that about 30% of the genes in the human genome are regulated by microRNAs (miRNAs). These are short RNA sequences that can down-regulate the levels of mRNAs or proteins in animals and plants. Genes regulated by miRNAs…
The advent of high--throughput transcription profiling technologies has enabled identification of genes and pathways associated with disease, providing new avenues for precision medicine. A key challenge is to analyze this data in the…
A methodology is proposed to automatically detect significant symbol associations in genomic databases. A new statistical test is proposed to assess the significance of a group of symbols when found in several genesets of a given database.…
Cluster analysis of biological samples using gene expression measurements is a common task which aids the discovery of heterogeneous biological sub-populations having distinct mRNA profiles. Several model-based clustering algorithms have…
Motivation. Cancer heterogeneity is observed at multiple biological levels. To improve our understanding of these differences and their relevance in medicine, approaches to link organ- and tissue-level information from diagnostic images and…
We analyze gene expression time-series data of yeast S. cerevisiae measured along two full cell-cycles. We quantify these data by using q-exponentials, gene expression ranking and a temporal mean-variance analysis. We construct gene…
In the genomic era, the identification of gene signatures associated with disease is of significant interest. Such signatures are often used to predict clinical outcomes in new patients and aid clinical decision-making. However, recent…
A large amount of research has been devoted to the detection and investigation of epistatic interactions in genome-wide association studies (GWASs). Most of the literature focuses on low-order interactions between single-nucleotide…
Causal discovery in multi-omic datasets is crucial for understanding the bigger picture of gene regulatory mechanisms, but remains challenging due to high dimensionality, differentiation of direct from indirect relationships, and hidden…
Over the last decade, a large variety of clustering algorithms have been developed to detect coregulatory relationships among genes from microarray gene expression data. Model based clustering approaches have emerged as statistically well…
We provide arguments for the property of the degree-degree correlations of giant components formed by the percolation process on uncorrelated random networks. Using the generating functions, we derive a general expression for the…
Sequencing large number of candidate disease genes which cause diseases in order to identify the relationship between them is an expensive and time-consuming task. To handle these challenges, different computational approaches have been…
