Gene expression microarray technologies provide the simultaneous measurements of a large number of genes. Typical analyses of such data focus on the individual genes, but recent work has demonstrated that evaluating changes in expression…
The proliferation of omics datasets in public repositories has created unprecedented opportunities for biomedical research but has also posed significant challenges for their integration, particularly due to missing genes and…
For the etiology, progression, and treatment of complex diseases, gene-environment (G-E) interactions have important implications beyond the main G and E effects. G-E interaction analysis can be more challenging with the higher…
Popular online enrichment analysis tools from the field of molecular systems biology provide users with the ability to submit their experimental results as gene sets for individual analysis. Such queries are kept private, and have never…
Recently more and more evidence suggests that rare variants with much lower minor allele frequencies play significant roles in disease etiology. Advances in next-generation sequencing technologies will lead to many more rare variants…
Motivation: Gene set testing is typically performed in a supervised context to quantify the association between groups of genes and a clinical phenotype. In many cases, however, a gene set-based interpretation of genomic data is desired in…
Discovering important genes that account for the phenotype of interest has long been challenging in genomewide expression analysis. Analyses such as Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) that incorporate pathway information have become…
Aberrant protein-protein interactions (PPIs) underpin a plethora of human diseases, and disruption of these harmful interactions constitute a compelling treatment avenue. Advances in computational approaches to PPI prediction have closely…
Many real-world optimization problems are not naturally homogeneous vectors but composite design objects with heterogeneous parameters: integers, real values, Booleans, categoricals, complex-valued descriptors, and embedding vectors.…
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are associated with various diseases, including cancer, infections, and neurodegenerative disorders. Obtaining three-dimensional structural information on these PPIs serves as a foundation to interfere…
Deep learning approaches achieved significant progress in predicting protein structures. These methods are often applied to protein-protein interactions (PPIs) yet require Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) which is unavailable for various…
Diabetes is a worldwide health issue affecting millions of people. Machine learning methods have shown promising results in improving diabetes prediction, particularly through the analysis of diverse data types, namely gene expression data.…
Since its first publication in 2003, the Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) method, based on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic, has been heavily used, modified, and also questioned. Recently a simplified approach, using a one sample t test…
Gene set analysis (GSA) is a foundational approach for interpreting genomic data of diseases by linking genes to biological processes. However, conventional GSA methods overlook clinical context of the analyses, often generating long lists…
Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and its variations aim to discover collections of genes that show moderate but coordinated differences in expression. However, such techniques may be ineffective if many individual genes in a…
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of loci at very stringent levels of statistical significance across many different human traits. However, it is now clear that very large samples (n~10^4-10^5) are needed to…
Genetic variation in human populations is influenced by geographic ancestry due to spatial locality in historical mating and migration patterns. Spatial population structure in genetic datasets has been traditionally analyzed using either…
Combining data from several case-control genome-wide association (GWA) studies can yield greater efficiency for detecting associations of disease with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) than separate analyses of the component studies.…
Understanding mechanistic relationships among genes and their impacts on biological pathways is essential for elucidating disease mechanisms and advancing precision medicine. Despite the availability of extensive molecular interaction and…
Background. Human aging is linked to many prevalent diseases. The aging process is highly influenced by genetic factors. Hence, it is important to identify human aging-related genes. We focus on supervised prediction of such genes. Gene…
