Protein-protein interactions (PPIs), as an important molecular process within cells, are of pivotal importance in the biochemical function of cells. Although high-throughput experimental techniques have matured, enabling researchers to detect large amounts of PPIs, it has unavoidable disadvantages, such as having a high cost and being time consuming. Recent studies have demonstrated that PPIs can be efficiently detected by computational methods. Therefore, in this study, we propose a novel computational method to predict PPIs using only protein sequence information. This method was developed based on a deep learning algorithm-stacked sparse autoencoder (SSAE) combined with a Legendre moment (LM) feature extraction technique. Finally, a probabilistic classification vector machine (PCVM) classifier is used to implement PPI prediction. The proposed method was performed on human, unbalanced-human, H. pylori, and S. cerevisiae datasets with 5-fold cross-validation and yielded very high predictive accuracies of 98.58%, 97.71%, 93.76%, and 96.55%, respectively. To further evaluate the performance of our method, we compare it with the support vector machine- (SVM-) based method. The experimental results indicate that the PCVM-based method is obviously preferable to the SVM-based method. Our results have proven that the proposed method is practical, effective, and robust.

Abstract Background Common subtypes seen in Chinese patients with membranous nephropathy (MN) include idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) and hepatitis B virus-related membranous nephropathy (HBV-MN). However, the morphologic differences are not visible under the light microscope in certain renal biopsy tissues. Methods We propose here a deep learning-based framework for processing hyperspectral images of renal biopsy tissue to define the difference between IMN and HBV-MN based on the component of their immune complex deposition. Results The proposed framework can achieve an overall accuracy of 95.04% in classification, which also leads to better performance than support vector machine (SVM)-based algorithms. Conclusion IMN and HBV-MN can be correctly separated via the deep learning framework using hyperspectral imagery. Our results suggest the potential of the deep learning algorithm as a new method to aid in the diagnosis of MN.

Automatic detection and recognition of traffic signs from images is an important topic in many applications. At first, we segmented the images using a classification algorithm to delineate the areas where the signs are more likely to be found. In this regard, shadows, objects having similar colours, and extreme illumination changes can significantly affect the segmentation results. We propose a new shape-based algorithm to improve the accuracy of the segmentation. The algorithm works by incorporating the sign geometry to filter out the wrong pixels from the classification results. We performed several tests to compare the performance of our algorithm against those obtained by popular techniques such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Means, and K-Nearest Neighbours. In these tests, to overcome the unwanted illumination effects, the images are transformed into colour spaces Hue, Saturation, and Intensity, YUV, normalized red green blue, and Gaussian. Among the traditional techniques used in this study, the best results were obtained with SVM applied to the images transformed into the Gaussian colour space. The comparison results also suggested that by adding the geometric constraints proposed in this study, the quality of sign image segmentation is improved by 10%–25%. We also comparted the SVM classifier enhanced by incorporating the geometry of signs with a U-Shaped deep learning algorithm. Results suggested the performance of both techniques is very close. Perhaps the deep learning results could be improved if a more comprehensive data set is provided.

AbstractMotivationAlmost all critical functions and processes in cells are sustained by the cellular networks of protein-protein interactions (PPIs), understanding these is therefore crucial in the investigation of biological systems. Despite all past efforts, we still lack high-quality PPI data for constructing the networks, which makes it challenging to study the functions of association of proteins. High-throughput experimental techniques have produced abundant data for systematically studying the cellular networks of a biological system and the development of computational method for PPI identification.ResultsWe have developed a deep learning-based framework, named iPPI, for accurately predicting PPI on a proteome-wide scale depended only on sequence information. iPPI integrates the amino acid properties and compositions of protein sequence into a unified prediction framework using a hybrid deep neural network. Extensive tests demonstrated that iPPI can greatly outperform the state-of-the-art prediction methods in identifying PPIs. In addition, the iPPI prediction score can be related to the strength of protein-protein binding affinity and further showed the biological relevance of our deep learning framework to identify PPIs.Availability and ImplementationiPPI is available as an open-source software and can be downloaded from https://github.com/model-lab/[email protected]

ABSTRACTBackgroundProkaryotic viruses referred to as phages can be divided into virulent and temperate phages. Distinguishing virulent and temperate phage-derived sequences in metavirome data is important for their role in interactions with bacterial hosts and regulations of microbial communities. However there is no experimental or computational approach to classify sequences of these two in culture-independent metavirome effectively, we present a new computational method DeePhage, which can directly and rapidly judge each read or contig as a virulent or temperate phage-derived fragment.FindingsDeePhage utilizes a “one-hot” encoding form to have an overall and detailed representation of DNA sequences. Sequence signatures are detected via a deep learning algorithm, namely a convolutional neural network to extract valuable local features. DeePhage makes better performance than the most related method PHACTS. The accuracy of DeePhage on five-fold validation reach as high as 88%, nearly 30% higher than PHACTS. Evaluation on real metavirome shows DeePhage annotated 54.4% of reliable contigs while PHACTS annotated 44.5%. While running on the same machine, DeePhage reduces computational time than PHACTS by 810 times. Besides, we proposed a new strategy to explore phage transformations in the microbial community by direct detection of the temperate viral fragments from metagenome and metavirome. The detectable transformation of temperate phages provided us a new insight into the potential treatment for human disease.ConclusionsDeePhage is the first tool that can rapidly and efficiently identify two kinds of phage fragments especially for metagenomics analysis with satisfactory performance.

Abstract Background Lung auscultation is fundamental to the clinical diagnosis of respiratory disease. However, auscultation is a subjective practice and interpretations vary widely between users. The digitization of auscultation acquisition and interpretation is a particularly promising strategy for diagnosing and monitoring infectious diseases such as Coronavirus-19 disease (COVID-19) where automated analyses could help decentralise care and better inform decision-making in telemedicine. This protocol describes the standardised collection of lung auscultations in COVID-19 triage sites and a deep learning approach to diagnostic and prognostic modelling for future incorporation into an intelligent autonomous stethoscope benchmarked against human expert interpretation. Methods A total of 1000 consecutive, patients aged ≥ 16 years and meeting COVID-19 testing criteria will be recruited at screening sites and amongst inpatients of the internal medicine department at the Geneva University Hospitals, starting from October 2020. COVID-19 is diagnosed by RT-PCR on a nasopharyngeal swab and COVID-positive patients are followed up until outcome (i.e., discharge, hospitalisation, intubation and/or death). At inclusion, demographic and clinical data are collected, such as age, sex, medical history, and signs and symptoms of the current episode. Additionally, lung auscultation will be recorded with a digital stethoscope at 6 thoracic sites in each patient. A deep learning algorithm (DeepBreath) using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Support Vector Machine classifier will be trained on these audio recordings to derive an automated prediction of diagnostic (COVID positive vs negative) and risk stratification categories (mild to severe). The performance of this model will be compared to a human prediction baseline on a random subset of lung sounds, where blinded physicians are asked to classify the audios into the same categories. Discussion This approach has broad potential to standardise the evaluation of lung auscultation in COVID-19 at various levels of healthcare, especially in the context of decentralised triage and monitoring.
