AbstractAs the complexity and heterogeneity of cancer is being increasingly appreciated through genomic analyses, microarray-based cancer classification comprising multiple discriminatory molecular markers is an emerging trend. Such multiclass classification problems pose new methodological and computational challenges for developing novel and effective statistical approaches. In this paper, we introduce a new approach for classifying multiple disease states associated with cancer based on gene expression profiles. Our method focuses on detecting small sets of genes in which the relative comparison of their expression values leads to class discrimination. For an

Abstract Motivation Cancer classification based on gene expression profiles has provided insight on the causes of cancer and cancer treatment. Recently, machine learning-based approaches have been attempted in downstream cancer analysis to address the large differences in gene expression values, as determined by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Results We designed cancer classifiers that can identify 21 types of cancers and normal tissues based on bulk RNA-seq as well as scRNA-seq data. Training was performed with 7398 cancer samples and 640 normal samples from 21 tumors and normal tissues in TCGA based on the 300 most significant genes expressed in each cancer. Then, we compared neural network (NN), support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbors (kNN) and random forest (RF) methods. The NN performed consistently better than other methods. We further applied our approach to scRNA-seq transformed by kNN smoothing and found that our model successfully classified cancer types and normal samples. Availability and implementation Cancer classification by neural network. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
