Sophisticated methods for analysing complex networks promise to be of great benefit almost all scientific disciplines, yet they elude us. In this work, we make fundamental methodological advances rectify this. We discover that the interaction between a small number roles, played by nodes in network, can characterize network's structure and also provide clear real-world interpretation. Given insight, develop framework comparing networks, which outperforms existing ones. demonstrate its...

Objective IBD therapies and treatments are evolving to deeper levels of remission. Molecular measures disease may augment current endpoints including the potential for less invasive assessments. Design Transcriptome analysis on 712 endoscopically defined inflamed (Inf) 1778 non-inflamed (Non-Inf) intestinal biopsies (n=498 Crohn’s disease, n=421 UC 243 controls) in Mount Sinai Colitis Registry were used identify genes differentially expressed between Inf Non-Inf generate a molecular...

Background & AimsEndoscopic assessment of ulcerative colitis (UC) typically reports only the maximum severity observed. Computer vision methods may better quantify mucosal injury detail, which varies among patients.MethodsEndoscopic video from UNIFI clinical trial (A Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy Ustekinumab Induction Maintenance Therapy in Participants With Moderately Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis) comparing ustekinumab placebo for UC were processed a computer analysis that...

Abstract Motivation: Proteins underlay the functioning of a cell and wiring proteins in protein–protein interaction network (PIN) relates to their biological functions. with similar PIN (topology around them) have been shown This property has successfully exploited for predicting protein Topological similarity is also used guide alignment algorithms that find similarly wired between PINs different species; these similarities are transfer annotation across PINs, e.g. from model organisms...

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified loci reproducibly associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other immune-mediated diseases; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying most of genetic susceptibility remain undefined. Expressional quantitative trait (eQTL) disease-relevant tissue can be employed in order to elucidate genes pathways affected by disease-specific variance.In this study, we derived eQTLs for human whole blood intestine tissues anti-tumor...

The role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in disease is incompletely understood, but their regulation inflammation increasingly appreciated. We addressed the extent lncRNA involvement inflammatory bowel (IBD) using biopsy-derived RNA-sequencing data from a large cohort deeply phenotyped patients with IBD. Weighted gene correlation network analysis revealed modules lncRNAs coexpressed protein-coding genes enriched for biological pathways, correlated epithelial and immune cell signatures, or...

BackgroundInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex with variable presentation, progression, and response to therapies. Current classification based on subjective clinical phenotypes. The peripheral blood immunophenome can reflect local inflammation, thus we measured 39 circulating immune cell types in large cohort of IBD control subjects performed immunotype:phenotype associations.MethodsWe fluorescence-activated sorting or CyTOF analysis from 728 Crohn's disease, 464 ulcerative...

Interaction networks, consisting of agents linked by their interactions, are ubiquitous across many disciplines modern science. Many methods analysis interaction networks have been proposed, mainly concentrating on node degree distribution or aiming to discover clusters that very strongly connected between themselves. These principally based graph-theory machine learning. We present a mathematically simple formalism for modelling context-specific information propagation in random walks. The...

We introduce a geometric framework suitable for studying the relationships among biological sequences. In contrast to previous works, our formulation allows asymmetric distances (quasi-metrics), originating from uneven weighting of strings, which may induce non-trivial partial orders on sets biosequences. The considered are more general than traditional generalized string edit distances. particular, enables conversion between sequence similarities, both local and global, Our constructions...

Abstract Motivation: Term-enrichment analysis facilitates biological interpretation by assigning to experimentally/computationally obtained data annotation associated with terms from controlled vocabularies. This process usually involves obtaining statistical significance for each vocabulary term and using the most significant describe a given set of entities, often weights. Many existing enrichment methods require selections (arbitrary number of) entities and/or do not account weights...

In our previous publication, a framework for information flow in interaction networks based on random walks with damping was formulated two fundamental modes: emitting and absorbing. While many other network analysis methods or equivalent notions have been developed before after earlier work, one can show that they all be mapped to of the modes. addition these modes, major strength formalism its accommodation context-specific directed yielded plausible meaningful biological interpretation...
