Gene regulatory network (GRN) construction involves various steps of complex computational steps. This step-by-step procedure requires prior knowledge of programming languages such as R. Development of a web tool may reduce this complexity in the analysis steps which can be easy accessible for the user. In this study, a web tool for constructing consensus GRN by combining the outcomes obtained from four methods, namely, correlation, principal component regression, partial least square, and ridge regression, has been developed. We have designed the web tool with an interactive and user-friendly web page using the php programming language. We have used R script for the analysis steps which run in the background of the user interface. Users can upload gene expression data for constructing consensus GRN. The output obtained from analysis will be available in downloadable form in the result window of the web tool.

Inferring the topology of a gene regulatory network (GRN) from gene expression data is a challenging but important undertaking for gaining a better understanding of gene regulation. Key challenges include working with noisy data and dealing with a higher number of genes than samples. Although a number of different methods have been proposed to infer the structure of a GRN, there are large discrepancies among the different inference algorithms they adopt, rendering their meaningful comparison challenging. In this study, we used two methods, namely the MIDER (Mutual Information Distance and Entropy Reduction) and the PLSNET (Partial least square based feature selection) methods, to infer the structure of a GRN directly from data and computationally validated our results. Both methods were applied to different gene expression datasets resulting from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) studies. For each case, gene regulators were successfully identified. For example, for the case of the IBD dataset, the UGT1A family genes were identified as key regulators while upon analysing the PDAC dataset, the SULF1 and THBS2 genes were depicted. We further demonstrate that an ensemble-based approach, that combines the output of the MIDER and PLSNET algorithms, can infer the structure of a GRN from data with higher accuracy. We have also estimated the number of the samples required for potential future validation studies. Here, we presented our proposed analysis framework that caters not only to candidate regulator genes prediction for potential validation experiments but also an estimation of the number of samples required for these experiments.

Mangosteen, or Garcinia mangostana L., has merged as an emerging fruit to be investigated due to its active compounds, especially xanthone derivatives such as α -mangostin (AM), γ-mangostin (GM), and gartanin (GT). These compounds had been reported to exert some pharmacological activities, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, therefore, the development of an analytical method capable of quantifying these compounds should be investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between FTIR spectra and HPLC chromatogram, combined with chemometrics for quantitative analysis of ethanolic extract of mangosteen. The ethanolic extract of mangosteen pericarp was prepared using the maceration technique, and the obtained extract was subjected to measurement using instruments of FTIR spectrophotometer at wavenumbers of 4000–650 cm−1 and HPLC, using a PDA detector at 281 nm. The data acquired were subjected to chemometrics analysis of partial least square (PLS) and principal component regression (PCR). The result showed that the wavenumber regions of 3700–2700 cm−1 offered a reliable method for quantitative analysis of GM with coefficient of determination (R2) 0.9573 in calibration and 0.8134 in validation models, along with RMSEC value of 0.0487% and RMSEP value 0.120%. FTIR spectra using the second derivatives at wavenumber 3700–663 cm−1 with coefficient of determination (R2) >0.99 in calibration and validation models, along with the lowest RMSEC value and RMSEP value, were used for quantitative analysis of GT and AM, respectively. It can be concluded that FTIR spectra combined with multivariate are accurate and precise for the analysis of xanthones.

Objective: The aims of this research were to analyse the fatty acids contained in Patin (Pangasius micronemus) and Gabus (Channa striata) fish oils also its authentication using FTIR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics. Methods: Patin fish oil (PFO) was extracted from patin flesh using the maceration method with petroleum benzene as the solvent, while gabus fish oil (GFO) was purchased from the market in Yogyakarta. The analysis of fatty acid was done using gas chromatography–flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The authentication was performed using FTIR spectrophotometer and chemometrics methods. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to determine the proximity of oils based on the characteristic similarity. The quantification of adulterated PFO was performed using multivariate calibrations, partial least square (PLS) and principal component regression (PCR). The classification between authentic oils and those adulterated used discriminant analysis (DA). Results: The level of saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids in PFO is higher than in GFO. The PLS and PCR methods using the second derivative spectra at wavenumbers of 666–3050 cm-1 offered the highest values of coefficient of determination (R2) and lowest root means the square error of calibration (RMSEC) and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP). Conclusion: The PCA method was successfully used to determine the proximity of oils. Among oils studied, PFO has a similarity fatty acid composition with GFO. The DA method was able to screen pure PFO from adulterated PFO without any misclassification reported. FTIR spectroscopy in combined with chemometrics can be used for authentication and quantification.

Digital image method in quantitative analysis usually uses one of the RGB primary color components (Red, Green, Blue), so that not all digital image data can be extracted. Then needed a method that can render the whole RGB values as variables in quantitative analysis are known as chemometric. This research aims to know the influence of the application of chemometric against the sensitivity of the digital image. Chemometry method used is the Principal Component Regression (PCR) and Partial Least Square (PLS) using Unscramber X software from Camo software, USA.. This method is applied for the quantitative analysis of Mercury (II) ion with silver nanoparticles (NPP) immobilization on filter paper indicator. The research results showed that chemometric has a good influence against the level of the Limit of Detection (LOD) of the digital image, where the level of LOD with chemometric application of the Principal Component Regression (PCR) is 0.4311 ppb, and Partial Least Square (PLS) is  0.4310 ppb smaller than without the application of chemometric Single Linear Regression (SLR) at 0.837 ppb.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the capability of fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in combination with multivariate calibration for prediction of free fatty acids (FFA) in Pangasius hypopthalmus (P. hypopthalmus) oil.Methods: FFA content in P. hypopthalmus oil was determined by attenuated total reflectance-FTIR spectroscopy. P. hypopthalmus oil derived from Pangasius’s meat (MP), and Pangasius’s liver and fat (LFP) were subjected to heat treatments. Determination of FFA content in P. hypopthalmus oil’s was performed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector.Results: Oleic acid was found to be the main fatty acid component in P. hypopthalmus oil. FTIR spectra of P. hypopthalmus oil has 3 main peaks, C-H bonds of cis-form of fatty acid showed the stretching vibration, symmetric and asymmetric vibrations of the C-H2 and C-H3 aliphatic group and vibrations of the carbonyl (C=O) ester derived from the oil triacylglycerols. Principal component regression (PCR) model showed a better performance than the partial least square (PLS) model. PCR at wavenumbers of 1200-1000 cm-1 with first derivative treatment was chosen for FFA prediction, which resulted in a coefficient of determination (R2) value of 0.9417, root means square error of calibration (RMSEC) of 0.725%, and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) value of 2.40%, respectively.Conclusion: FTIR spectroscopy combined with PCR can be used as an alternative method for analysis of fatty acid contents.

Advanced and sensitive spectrophotometric and chemometric analytical methods were successfully established for the stability-indicating assay of cromolyn sodium (CS) and its alkaline degradation products (Deg1 and Deg2). Spectrophotometric mean centering ratio spectra method (MCR) and chemometric methods, including principal component regression (PCR) and partial least square (PLS-2) methods, were applied. Peak amplitudes after MCR at 367.8 nm, 373.8 nm and 310.6 nm were used within linear concentration ranges of 2–40 µg mL−1, 5–40 µg mL−1 and 10–100 µg mL−1 for CS, Deg1 and Deg2, respectively. For PCR and PLS-2 models, a calibration set of eighteen mixtures and a validation set of seven mixtures were built for the simultaneous determination of CS, Deg1 and Deg2 in the ranges of 5–13 µg mL−1, 8–16 µg mL−1, and 10–30 µg mL−1, respectively. The authors emphasize the importance of a stability-indicating strategy for the investigation of pharmaceutical products.
