Disease Related Gene

Screening disease-related genes by analyzing gene expression data has become a popular theme. Traditional disease-related gene selection methods always focus on identifying differentially expressed gene between case samples and a control group. These traditional methods may not fully consider the changes of interactions between genes at different cell states and the dynamic processes of gene expression levels during the disease progression. However, in order to understand the mechanism of disease, it is important to explore the dynamic changes of interactions between genes in biological networks at different cell states. In this study, we designed a novel framework to identify disease-related genes and developed a differentially coexpressed disease-related gene identification method based on gene coexpression network (DCGN) to screen differentially coexpressed genes. We firstly constructed phase-specific gene coexpression network using time-series gene expression data and defined the conception of differential coexpression of genes in coexpression network. Then, we designed two metrics to measure the value of gene differential coexpression according to the change of local topological structures between different phase-specific networks. Finally, we conducted meta-analysis of gene differential coexpression based on the rank-product method. Experimental results demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of DCGN and the superior performance of DCGN over other popular disease-related gene selection methods through real-world gene expression data sets.

To analyze gene expression data with sophisticated grouping structures and to extract hidden patterns from such data, feature selection is of critical importance. It is well known that genes do not function in isolation but rather work together within various metabolic, regulatory, and signaling pathways. If the biological knowledge contained within these pathways is taken into account, the resulting method is a pathway-based algorithm. Studies have demonstrated that a pathway-based method usually outperforms its gene-based counterpart in which no biological knowledge is considered. In this article, a pathway-based feature selection is firstly divided into three major categories, namely, pathway-level selection, bilevel selection, and pathway-guided gene selection. With bilevel selection methods being regarded as a special case of pathway-guided gene selection process, we discuss pathway-guided gene selection methods in detail and the importance of penalization in such methods. Last, we point out the potential utilizations of pathway-guided gene selection in one active research avenue, namely, to analyze longitudinal gene expression data. We believe this article provides valuable insights for computational biologists and biostatisticians so that they can make biology more computable.

In the field of bioinformatics research, a large volume of genetic data has been generated. Availability of higher throughput devices at lower cost has contributed to this generation of huge volumetric data. Handling such numerous data has become extremely challenging for selecting the relevant disease-causing gene. The development of microarray technology provides higher chances of cancer diagnosis, by enabling to measure the expression level of multiple genes at the same stretch. Selecting the relevant gene by using classifiers for investigation of gene expression data is a complicated process. Proper identification of gene from the gene expression datasets plays a vital role in improving the accuracy of classification. In this article, identification of the highly relevant gene from the gene expression data for cancer treatment is discussed in detail. By using modified meta-heuristic approach, known as 'parallel lion optimization' (PLOA) for selecting genes from microarray data that can classify various cancer sub-types with more accuracy. The experimental results depict that PLOA outperforms than LOA and other well-known approaches, considering the five benchmark cancer gene expression dataset. It returns 99% classification accuracy for the dataset namely Prostate, Lung, Leukemia and Central Nervous system (CNS) for top 200 genes. Prostate and Lymphoma dataset PLOA is 99.19% and 99.93% respectively. On evaluating the result with other algorithm, the higher level of accuracy in gene selection is achieved by the proposed algorithm.
