The increased affordability of whole genome sequencing has motivated its use for phenotypic studies. We address the problem of learning interpretable models for discrete phenotypes from whole genomes. We propose a general approach that relies on the Set Covering Machine and a k-mer representation of the genomes. We show results for the problem of predicting the resistance of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, an important human pathogen, against 4 antibiotics. Our results demonstrate that extremely sparse models which are biologically relevant can be learnt using this approach.

According to the National Cancer Institute, there were 9.5 million cancer-related deaths in 2018. A challenge in improving treatment is resistance in genetically unstable cells. The purpose of this study is to evaluate unsupervised machine learning o
n classifying treatment-resistant phenotypes in heterogeneous tumors through analysis of single cell RNA sequencing(scRNAseq) data with a pipeline and evaluation metrics. scRNAseq quantifies mRNA in cells and characterizes cell phenotypes. One scRNAseq dataset was analyzed (tumor/non-tumor cells of different molecular subtypes and patient identifications). The pipeline consisted of data filtering, dimensionality reduction with Principal Component Analysis, projection with Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection, clustering with nine approaches (Ward, BIRCH, Gaussian Mixture Model, DBSCAN, Spectral, Affinity Propagation, Agglomerative Clustering, Mean Shift, and K-Means), and evaluation. Seven models divided tumor versus non-tumor cells and molecular subtype while six models classified different patient identification (13 of which were presented in the dataset); K-Means, Ward, and BIRCH often ranked highest with ~80% accuracy on the tumor versus non-tumor task and ~60% for molecular subtype and patient ID. An optimized classification pipeline using K-Means, Ward, and BIRCH models was evaluated to be most effective for further analysis. In clinical research where there is currently no standard protocol for scRNAseq analysis, clusters generated from this pipeline can be used to understand cancer cell behavior and malignant growth, directly affecting the success of treatment.
We study the effects of the sequence on the propagation of nonlinear excitations in simple models of DNA in which we incorporate actual DNA sequences obtained from human genome data. We show that kink propagation requires forces over a certain thresh
old, a phenomenon already found for aperiodic sequences [F. Domi nguez-Adame {em et al.}, Phys. Rev. E {bf 52}, 2183 (1995)]. For forces below threshold, the final stop positions are highly dependent on the specific sequence. The results of our model are consistent with the stick-slip dynamics of the unzipping process observed in experiments. We also show that the effective potential, a collective coordinate formalism introduced by Salerno and Kivshar [Phys. Lett. A {bf 193}, 263 (1994)] is a useful tool to identify key regions in DNA that control the dynamical behavior of large segments. Additionally, our results lead to further insights in the phenomenology observed in aperiodic systems.
We calculate the mutual information function for each of the 24 chromosomes in the human genome. The same correlation pattern is observed regardless the individual functional features of each chromosome. Moreover, correlations of different scale leng
th are detected depicting a multifractal scenario. This fact suggest a unique mechanism of structural evolution. We propose that such a mechanism could be an expansion-modification dynamical system.
Next-generation sequencing technology enables routine detection of bacterial pathogens for clinical diagnostics and genetic research. Whole genome sequencing has been of importance in the epidemiologic analysis of bacterial pathogens. However, few wh
ole genome sequencing-based genotyping pipelines are available for practical applications. Here, we present the whole genome sequencing-based single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping method and apply to the evolutionary analysis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The SNP genotyping method calls genome variants using next-generation sequencing reads of whole genomes and calculates the pair-wise Jaccard distances of the genome variants. The method may reveal the high-resolution whole genome SNP profiles and the structural variants of different isolates of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) strains. The phylogenetic analysis of whole genomes and particular regions may monitor and track the evolution and the transmission dynamic of bacterial pathogens. The computer programs of the whole genome sequencing-based SNP genotyping method are available to the public at https://github.com/cyinbox/NGS.
Motivation: The rapid growth in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in plants and animals has brought about the need for a central resource that facilitates i) performing GWAS, ii) accessing data and results of other GWAS, and iii) enabling all us
ers regardless of their background to exploit the latest statistical techniques without having to manage complex software and computing resources. Results: We present easyGWAS, a web platform that provides methods, tools and dynamic visualizations to perform and analyze GWAS. In addition, easyGWAS makes it simple to reproduce results of others, validate findings, and access larger sample sizes through merging of public datasets. Availability: Detailed method and data descriptions as well as tutorials are available in the supplementary materials. easyGWAS is available at http://easygwas.tuebingen.mpg.de/.
