AbstractSummaryThere are now more than two million RNA sequencing experiments for plants, animals, bacteria and fungi publicly available, allowing us to study gene expression within and across species and kingdoms. However, the tools allowing the download, quality control and annotation of this data for more than one species at a time are currently missing. To remedy this, we present the Large-Scale Transcriptomic Analysis Pipeline in Kingdom of Life (LSTrAP-Kingdom) pipeline, which we used to process 134,521 RNA-seq samples, achieving ~12,000 processed samples per day. Our pipeline generated quality-controlled, annotated gene expression matrices that rival the manually curated gene expression data in identifying functionally-related genes.Availability and implementationLSTrAP-Kingdom is available from: https://github.com/wirriamm/plants-pipeline and is fully implemented in Python and Bash.

Abstract Motivation The biclustering of large-scale gene expression data holds promising potential for detecting condition-specific functional gene modules (i.e. biclusters). However, existing methods do not adequately address a comprehensive detection of all significant bicluster structures and have limited power when applied to expression data generated by RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq), especially single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) data, where massive zero and low expression values are observed. Results We present a new biclustering algorithm, QUalitative BIClustering algorithm Version 2 (QUBIC2), which is empowered by: (i) a novel left-truncated mixture of Gaussian model for an accurate assessment of multimodality in zero-enriched expression data, (ii) a fast and efficient dropouts-saving expansion strategy for functional gene modules optimization using information divergency and (iii) a rigorous statistical test for the significance of all the identified biclusters in any organism, including those without substantial functional annotations. QUBIC2 demonstrated considerably improved performance in detecting biclusters compared to other five widely used algorithms on various benchmark datasets from E.coli, Human and simulated data. QUBIC2 also showcased robust and superior performance on gene expression data generated by microarray, bulk RNA-Seq and scRNA-Seq.

Genomic profiles of cancer patients such as gene expression have become a major source to predict responses to drugs in the era of personalized medicine. As large-scale drug screening data with cancer cell lines are available, a number of computational methods have been developed for drug response prediction. However, few methods incorporate both gene expression data and the biological network, which can harbor essential information about the underlying process of the drug response. We proposed an analysis framework called DrugGCN for prediction of Drug response using a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN). DrugGCN first generates a gene graph by combining a Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network and gene expression data with feature selection of drug-related genes, and the GCN model detects the local features such as subnetworks of genes that contribute to the drug response by localized filtering. We demonstrated the effectiveness of DrugGCN using biological data showing its high prediction accuracy among the competing methods.

AbstractBacterial resistance to antibiotics is a growing problem that is projected to cause more deaths than cancer in 2050. Consequently, novel antibiotics are urgently needed. Since more than half of the available antibiotics target the bacterial ribosomes, proteins that are involved in protein synthesis are thus prime targets for the development of novel antibiotics. However, experimental identification of these potential antibiotic target proteins can be labor-intensive and challenging, as these proteins are likely to be poorly characterized and specific to few bacteria. In order to identify these novel proteins, we established a Large-Scale Transcriptomic Analysis Pipeline in Crowd (LSTrAP-Crowd), where 285 individuals processed 26 terabytes of RNA-sequencing data of the 17 most notorious bacterial pathogens. In total, the crowd processed 26,269 RNA-seq experiments and used the data to construct gene co-expression networks, which were used to identify more than a hundred uncharacterized genes that were transcriptionally associated with protein synthesis. We provide the identity of these genes together with the processed gene expression data. The data can be used to identify other vulnerabilities or bacteria, while our approach demonstrates how the processing of gene expression data can be easily crowdsourced.
