The integration of multi-omics data makes it possible to understand complex biological organisms at the system level. Numerous integration approaches have been developed by assuming a common underlying data space. Due to the noise and heterogeneity of biological data, the performance of these approaches is greatly affected. In this work, we propose a novel deep neural network architecture, named Deep Latent Space Fusion (DLSF), which integrates the multi-omics data by learning consistent manifold in the sample latent space for disease subtypes identification. DLSF is built upon a cycle autoencoder with a shared self-expressive layer, which can naturally and adaptively merge nonlinear features at each omics level into one unified sample manifold and produce adaptive representation of heterogeneous samples at the multi-omics level. We have assessed DLSF on various biological and biomedical datasets to validate its effectiveness. DLSF can efficiently and accurately capture the intrinsic manifold of the sample structures or sample clusters compared with other state-of-the-art methods, and DLSF yielded more significant outcomes for biological significance, survival prognosis and clinical relevance in application of cancer study in The Cancer Genome Atlas. Notably, as a deep case study, we determined a new molecular subtype of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma that may benefit immunotherapy in the viewpoint of multi-omics, and we further found potential subtype-specific biomarkers from multiple omics data, which were validated by independent datasets. In addition, we applied DLSF to identify potential therapeutic agents of different molecular subtypes of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, demonstrating the scalability of DLSF in diverse omics data types and application scenarios.
Advances in single-cell multi-omics technology provide an unprecedented opportunity to fully understand cellular heterogeneity. However, integrating omics data from multiple modalities is challenging due to the individual characteristics of each measurement. Here, to solve such a problem, we propose a contrastive and generative deep self-expression model, called single-cell multimodal self-expressive integration (scMSI), which integrates the heterogeneous multimodal data into a unified manifold space. Specifically, scMSI first learns each omics-specific latent representation and self-expression relationship to consider the characteristics of different omics data by deep self-expressive generative model. Then, scMSI combines these omics-specific self-expression relations through contrastive learning. In such a way, scMSI provides a paradigm to integrate multiple omics data even with weak relation, which effectively achieves the representation learning and data integration into a unified framework. We demonstrate that scMSI provides a cohesive solution for a variety of analysis tasks, such as integration analysis, data denoising, batch correction and spatial domain detection. We have applied scMSI on various single-cell and spatial multimodal datasets to validate its high effectiveness and robustness in diverse data types and application scenarios.
