The prevalence of sequencing experiments in genomics has led to an increased use of methods for count data in analyzing high-throughput genomic data to perform analyses. The importance of shrinkage methods in improving the performance of statistical methods remains. A common example is that of gene expression data, where the counts per gene are often modeled as some form of an over-dispersed Poisson. In this case, shrinkage estimates of the per-gene dispersion parameter have led to improved estimation of dispersion in the case of a small number of samples. We address a different count setting introduced by the use of sequencing data: comparing differential proportional usage via an over-dispersed binomial model. This is motivated by our interest in testing for differential exon skipping in mRNA-Seq experiments. We introduce a novel method that is developed by modeling the dispersion based on the double binomial distribution proposed by Efron (1986). Our method (WEB-Seq) is an empirical bayes strategy for producing a shrunken estimate of dispersion and effectively detects differential proportional usage, and has close ties to the weighted-likelihood strategy of edgeR developed for gene expression data (Robinson and Smyth, 2007; Robinson et al., 2010). We analyze its behavior on simulated data sets as well as real data and show that our method is fast, powerful and gives accurate control of the FDR compared to alternative approaches. We provide implementation of our methods in the R package DoubleExpSeq available on CRAN.

There is an increasing interest in clustering time course gene expression data to investigate a wide range of biological processes. However, developing a clustering algorithm ideal for time course gene express data is still challenging. As timing is an important factor in defining true clusters, a clustering algorithm shall explore expression correlations between time points in order to achieve a high clustering accuracy. Moreover, inter-cluster gene relationships are often desired in order to facilitate the computational inference of biological pathways and regulatory networks. In this paper, a new clustering algorithm called CurveSOM is developed to offer both features above. It first presents each gene by a cubic smoothing spline fitted to the time course expression profile, and then groups genes into clusters by applying a self-organizing map-based clustering on the resulting splines. CurveSOM has been tested on three well-studied yeast cell cycle datasets, and compared with four popular programs including Cluster 3.0, GENECLUSTER, MCLUST, and SSClust. The results show that CurveSOM is a very promising tool for the exploratory analysis of time course expression data, as it is not only able to group genes into clusters with high accuracy but also able to find true time-shifted correlations of expression patterns across clusters.
