Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is able to give an insight into the gene-gene associations or transcriptional networks among cell populations based on of a large number cells. However, traditional network methods are limited grouped cells instead each single cell, and thus heterogeneity will be erased. We present new method construct cell-specific (CSN) for from scRNA-seq data (i.e. one cell), which transforms 'unstable' gene expression form 'stable' association single-cell basis. In...

Identifying early warning signals of critical transitions during disease progression is a key to achieving diagnosis complex diseases. By exploiting rich information high-throughput data, novel model-free method has been developed detect Its theoretical foundation based on dynamical network biomarker (DNB), which also called as the driver (or leading) because components or molecules in DNB actually drive whole system from one state (e.g. normal state) another state). In this article, we...

Abstract Motivation It is a challenging task to discover personalized driver genes that provide crucial information on disease risk and drug sensitivity for individual patients. However, few methods have been proposed identify the personalized-sample from cancer omics data due lack of samples each individual. To circumvent this problem, here we present novel single-sample controller strategy (SCS) mutation profiles network controllability perspective. Results SCS integrates expression into...

A central theme in learning from image data is to develop appropriate representations for the specific task at hand. Traditional methods used handcrafted local features combined with high-level generate image-level representations. Thus, a practical challenge determine what are tasks. For example, study of gene expression patterns Drosophila melanogaster, texture based on wavelets were particularly effective determining developmental stages situ hybridization (ISH) images. Such...

Abstract The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is an ongoing global health emergency. However, virus’ pathogenesis remains unclear, and there no cure for disease. We investigated dynamic changes of blood immune response in patients with COVID-19 at different stages using 5’ gene expression, T cell receptor (TCR), B receptors (BCR) V(D)J transcriptome analysis a single-cell resolution. obtained mRNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data 341,420 peripheral...

The world-wide Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was triggered by the widespread of a new strain coronavirus named as severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Multiple studies on pathogenesis SARS-CoV-2 have been conducted immediately after spread disease. However, molecular virus and related diseases has still not fully revealed. In this study, we attempted to identify transcriptomic signatures candidate diagnostic models for clinical testing or therapeutic targets...

Ferroptosis plays a critical role in LPS-induced acute lung injury and is modulated by endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). As typical ER stress-responsive protein, recently mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) has been demonstrated to attenuate (ALI) through repressing macrophage activation. However, whether MANF exerts preventive on ferroptosis excess remains unclear. Here, we first built protein-protein interaction (PPI) network obtain potential interacting proteins...

Integrating different omics profiles is a challenging task, which provides comprehensive way to understand complex diseases in multi-view manner. One key for such an integration extract intrinsic patterns concordance with data structures, so as discover consistent information across various types even noise pollution. Thus, we proposed novel framework called 'pattern fusion analysis' (PFA), performs automated alignment and bias correction, fuse local sample-patterns (e.g. from each type)...

Predicting pre-disease state or tipping point just before irreversible deterioration of health is a difficult task. Edge-network analysis (ENA) with dynamic network biomarker (DNB) theory opens new way to study this problem by exploring rich dynamical and high-dimensional information omics data. Although theoretically ENA has the ability identify during disease progression, it requires multiple samples for such prediction on each individual, which are generally not available in clinical...
