HSCVFNT: Inference of Time-Delayed Gene Regulatory Network Based on Complex-Valued Flexible Neural Tree Model

Abstract

Gene regulatory network (GRN) inference can understand the growth and development of animals and plants, and reveal the mystery of biology. Many computational approaches have been proposed to infer GRN. However, these inference approaches have hardly met the need of modeling, and the reducing redundancy methods based on individual information theory method have bad universality and stability. To overcome the limitations and shortcomings, this thesis proposes a novel algorithm, named HSCVFNT, to infer gene regulatory network with time-delayed regulations by utilizing a hybrid scoring method and complex-valued flexible neural network (CVFNT). The regulations of each target gene can be obtained by iteratively performing HSCVFNT. For each target gene, the HSCVFNT algorithm utilizes a novel scoring method based on time-delayed mutual information (TDMI), time-delayed maximum information coefficient (TDMIC) and time-delayed correlation coefficient (TDCC), to reduce the redundancy of regulatory relationships and obtain the candidate regulatory factor set. Then, the TDCC method is utilized to create time-delayed gene expression time-series matrix. Finally, a complex-valued flexible neural tree model is proposed to infer the time-delayed regulations of each target gene with the time-delayed time-series matrix. Three real time-series expression datasets from (Save Our Soul) SOS DNA repair system in E. coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae are utilized to evaluate the performance of the HSCVFNT algorithm. As a result, HSCVFNT obtains outstanding F-scores of 0.923, 0.8 and 0.625 for SOS network and (In vivo Reverse-Engineering and Modeling Assessment) IRMA network inference, respectively, which are 5.5%, 14.3% and 72.2% higher than the best performance of other state-of-the-art GRN inference methods and time-delayed methods.

Automatic 3D Pollen Recognition Based on Convolutional Neural Network

“…Confocal-E dataset is a classic 3D pollen dataset that includes 5360 pollen grains from 27 different categories of pollen images collected by confocal laser scanning microscopy in Germany [13]. e pollen images, including Secale, Poaceae, and Fagus, are divided into three groups by sensitization, namely, highly allergenic, moderate allergenic, and lowly allergenic [26][27][28][29][30][31]. e dataset is augmented by taking different transformations, especially rotation transform, in order to validate the geometric invariance of the proposed method, which aims at increasing the volume of labeled training sets by applying transformations while preserving their class labels.…”

Integrated Inference of Asymmetric Protein Interaction Networks Using Dynamic Model and Individual Patient Proteomics Data

“…Several statistical measure have been used to calculate the distances between the variables using the omics datasets [12][13][14]. The correlation-based methods have also been used to find the connections between various types of molecules in cells [15][16][17]. An alternative approach is mutual information, which can measure the nonlinear relationships between pairs of variables [18].…”
