With the high prevalence of breast cancer, it is urgent to find out the intrinsic difference between various subtypes, so as to infer the underlying mechanisms. Given the available multi-omics data, their proper integration can improve the accuracy of breast cancer subtype recognition. In this study, DeepMO, a model using deep neural networks based on multi-omics data, was employed for classifying breast cancer subtypes. Three types of omics data including mRNA data, DNA methylation data, and copy number variation (CNV) data were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). After data preprocessing and feature selection, each type of omics data was input into the deep neural network, which consists of an encoding subnetwork and a classification subnetwork. The results of DeepMO based on multi-omics on binary classification are better than other methods in terms of accuracy and area under the curve (AUC). Moreover, compared with other methods using single omics data and multi-omics data, DeepMO also had a higher prediction accuracy on multi-classification. We also validated the effect of feature selection on DeepMO. Finally, we analyzed the enrichment gene ontology (GO) terms and biological pathways of these significant genes, which were discovered during the feature selection process. We believe that the proposed model is useful for multi-omics data analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
