A Modified Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Tumor Marker Gene Selection

Microarray data are often extremely asymmetric in dimensionality,such as thousands or even tens of thousands of genes but only a few hundreds of samples or less.Such extreme asymmetry between the dimensionality of genes and samples can lead to inaccurate diagnosis of disease in clinic.Therefore,it has been shown that selecting a small set of marker genes can lead to improved classification accuracy.In this paper,a simple modified ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm is proposed to select tumor-related ma...     

Gene expression data classification using consensus independent component analysis

We propose a new method for tumor classification from gene expression data, which mainly contains three steps. Firstly, the original DNA microarray gene expression data are modeled by independent component analysis （ICA）. Secondly, the most discriminant eigenassays extracted by ICA are selected by the sequential floating forward selection technique. Finally, support vector machine is used to classify the modeling data. To show the validity of the proposed method, we applied it to classify three DNA microarray datasets involving various human normal and tumor tissue samples. The experimental results show that the method is efficient and feasible.

Learning Biomarkers of Pluripotent Stem Cells in Mouse

Pluripotent stem cells are able to self-renew, and to differentiate into all adult cell types. Many studies report data describing these cells, and characterize them in molecular terms. Machine learning yields classifiers that can accurately identify pluripotent stem cells, but there is a lack of studies yielding minimal sets of best biomarkers (genes/features). We assembled gene expression data of pluripotent stem cells and non-pluripotent cells from the mouse. After normalization and filtering, we applied machine learning, classifying samples into pluripotent and non-pluripotent with high cross-validated accuracy. Furthermore, to identify minimal sets of best biomarkers, we used three methods: information gain, random forests and a wrapper of genetic algorithm and support vector machine (GA/SVM). We demonstrate that the GA/SVM biomarkers work best in combination with each other; pathway and enrichment analyses show that they cover the widest variety of processes implicated in pluripotency. The GA/SVM wrapper yields best biomarkers, no matter which classification method is used. The consensus best biomarker based on the three methods is Tet1, implicated in pluripotency just recently. The best biomarker based on the GA/SVM wrapper approach alone is Fam134b, possibly a missing link between pluripotency and some standard surface markers of unknown function processed by the Golgi apparatus.     

Tumor-specific gene expression patterns with gene expression profiles

Gene expression profiles of 14 common tumors and their counterpart normal tissues were analyzed with machine learning methods to address the problem of selection of tumor-specific genes and analysis of their differential expressions in tumor tissues. First, a variation of the Relief algorithm, “RFE_Relief algorithm” was proposed to learn the relations between genes and tissue types. Then, a support vector machine was employed to find the gene subset with the best classification performance for distinguishing cancerous tissues and their counterparts. After tissue-specific genes were removed, cross validation experiments were employed to demonstrate the common deregulated expressions of the selected gene in tumor tissues. The results indicate the existence of a specific expression fingerprint of these genes that is shared in different tumor tissues, and the hallmarks of the expression patterns of these genes in cancerous tissues are summarized at the end of this paper.     

SDED: a novel filter method for cancer-related gene selection

Gene selection is to detect the most significantly expressed genes under different conditions expression data. The current challenge in gene selection is the comparison of a large number of genes with limited patient samples. Thus it is trivial task in simple statistical analysis. Various statistical measurements are adopted by filter methods applied in gene selection studies. Their ability to discriminate phenotypes is crucial in classification and selection. Here we describe the standard deviation error distribution (SDED) method for gene selection. It utilizes variations within-class and among-class in gene expression data. We tested the method using 4 leukemia datasets available in the public domain. The method was compared with the GS2 and CHO methods. The Prediction accuracies by SDED are better than both GS2 and CHO for different datasets. These are 0.8-4.2% and 1.6-8.4% more that in GS2 and CHO. The related OMIM annotations and KEGG pathways analyses verified that SDED can pick out more 4.0% and 6.1% genes with biological significance than GS2 and CHO, respectively.     

Positive Selection Vectors

ABSTRACT:?

This review describes information concerning positive selection vectors on their mechanism, classification, property, and limitation. A total of 72 positive selection vectors collected were discussed. Positive selection vectors can reduce background and directly screen transformants containing cloned DNA fragments. The mechanisms to perform positive selection include insertional inacti-vation and the replacement of functional genes of the vectors. In general, the former is much more convenient than the latter. The functional genes are controlled either by their promoters or by heter-ologous promoters introduced. On the basis of the structures, positive selection vectors could be classified into five groups. The positive selection vectors are commonly based on the mechanisms of lethal genes and the sensitivity of compounds. The vectors, with molecular weights ranging from 2.6 to 17.0?kb, have diverse genetic markers and wide host ranges, including Escherichia coli, Bacillus, Streptomyces, lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, and mammalian cells. Although some limitations exist for using some positive selection vectors, they are useful in recombinant DNA experiments.
