The identification of several hundred genomic regions affecting disease risk has proven the ability of genome-wide association studies have proven their ability to identify genetic contributors to disease. Currently, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) association analysis is the most widely used method of genome-wide association data, but recent research shows that multi-marker tests of association may provide greater power, especially when more than one mutation is present within a gene and the mutations are in low linkage disequilibrium with each other. Here we use a multi-marker association test based on regression to SNPs located within known genes to obtain a gene-level score of association. We then perform pathway analysis using this score as a measure of gene importance. We use two tests of pathway enrichment - a binomial test and a random set method. By utilizing publicly available gene and pathway information, we identify B cell, cytokine and inflammation response, and antigen presentation pathways as being associated with rheumatoid arthritis. These results confirm known biological mechanisms for auto-immunity disorders, of which rheumatoid arthritis is one.

Modern high-throughput single-cell immune profiling technologies, such as flow and mass cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing can readily measure the expression of a large number of protein or gene features across the millions of cells in a multi-patient cohort. While bioinformatics approaches can be used to link immune cell heterogeneity to external variables of interest, such as, clinical outcome or experimental label, they often struggle to accommodate such a large number of profiled cells. To ease this computational burden, a limited number of cells are typically sketched or subsampled from each patient. However, existing sketching approaches fail to adequately subsample rare cells from rare cell-populations, or fail to preserve the true frequencies of particular immune cell-types. Here, we propose a novel sketching approach based on Kernel Herding that selects a limited subsample of all cells while preserving the underlying frequencies of immune cell-types. We tested our approach on three flow and mass cytometry datasets and on one single-cell RNA sequencing dataset and demonstrate that the sketched cells (1) more accurately represent the overall cellular landscape and (2) facilitate increased performance in downstream analysis tasks, such as classifying patients according to their clinical outcome. An implementation of sketching with Kernel Herding is publicly available at https://***/vishalathreya/Set-Summarization. © 2022, CC0.

Exocytosis is an essential process in all eukaryotic cells that allows communication in cells through vesicles which contain a wide range of intracellular molecules such as hormones, matrix proteins and neurotransmitters. Recent studies have shown this process is regulated by molecular interactions among a group of well defined and conserved proteins. To gain insight into the dynamics of these interactions, we use protein interaction network modeling to investigate exocytotic system (particularly in endocrine) computationally and mathematically. The protein interactions are formulated into ordinary differential equations (ODE). We then apply a novel mathematic approach to estimate model parameters from experimental data for SNAREs-only network (with three key proteins), which is a subset of this system. Our approach is able to sense temporal changes in protein concentration and ratios of multiple proteins and precisely reconstruct the dynamical process of exocytosis, including vesicle docking, priming and fusion. Additionally, the model suggests that initial concentration of synaptic proteins plays a crucial role in efficiency of vesicle fusion, based on system stability analysis. ©2007 IEEE.

Drafting in Magic the Gathering is a sub-game within a larger trading card game, where several players progressively build decks by picking cards from a common pool. Drafting poses an interesting problem for game and AI research due to its large search space, mechanical complexity, multiplayer nature, and hidden information. Despite this, drafting remains understudied, in part due to a lack of high-quality, public datasets. To rectify this problem, we present a dataset of over 100,000 simulated, anonymized human drafts collected from ***. We also propose four diverse strategies for drafting agents, including a primitive heuristic agent, an expert-tuned complex heuristic agent, a Naive Bayes agent, and a deep neural network agent. We benchmark their ability to emulate human drafting, and show that the deep neural network agent outperforms other agents, while the Naive Bayes and expert-tuned agents outperform simple heuristics. We analyze the accuracy of AI agents across the timeline of a draft, and describe unique strengths and weaknesses for each approach. This work helps to identify next steps in the creation of humanlike drafting agents, and can serve as a benchmark for the next generation of drafting bots. Copyright © 2020, The Authors.

Transparent Single-Cell Set Classification with Kernel Mean Embeddings

Modern single-cell flow and mass cytometry technologies measure the expression of several proteins of the individual cells within a blood or tissue sample. Each profiled biological sample is thus represented by a set of hundreds of thousands of multidimensional cell feature vectors, which incurs a high computational cost to predict each biological sample’s associated phenotype with machine learning models. Such a large set cardinality also limits the interpretability of machine learning models due to the difficulty in tracking how each individual cell influences the ultimate prediction. We propose using Kernel Mean Embedding to encode the cellular landscape of each profiled biological sample. Although our foremost goal is to make a more transparent model, we find that our method achieves comparable or better accuracies than the state-of-the-art gating-free methods through a simple linear classifier. As a result, our model contains few parameters but still performs similarly to deep learning models with millions of parameters. In contrast with deep learning approaches, the linearity and sub-selection step of our model makes it easy to interpret classification results. Analysis further shows that our method admits rich biological interpretability for linking cellular heterogeneity to clinical phenotype. © 2022, CC0.

Evolution and robustness are thought to be intimately connected. Are solutions to optimization problems produced by evolutionary algorithms more robust to mutation than those produced by other classes of search algorithms? We explore this question in a model system based on bivariate real functions. Bivariate real functions serve as a well understood model systems that are easy to visualize. Both the number and robustness of optimal solutions found in multiple trials with several typical optimization algorithms were compared. In the majority of the function landscapes explored the tournament selection evolutionary algorithm found optimal solutions which were significantly more robust to mutation than those discovered by the other algorithms.

Macitentan (MACI) is an endothelial receptor antagonist used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The pharmacokinetics and therapeutic efficacy of MACI are significantly influenced by its interaction with plasma proteins, especially bovine serum albumin (BSA). In this study, spectroscopic (fluorescence and UV–visible absorption spectroscopy), electrochemical, and computational techniques were applied to explore the binding properties and interaction mechanisms between MACI and BSA. The results indicated that the MACI quenched BSA fluorescence through a static mechanism. The interaction possessed a moderate binding affinity with Ka values ranging from 1.27 × 104 to 7.25 × 104 M−1 at different temperatures. Hydrophobic forces and hydrogen bonds were identified as critical factors in stabilizing the complex based on thermodynamic parameters. The local environment of tryptophan residues in BSA was found to be altered following the addition of MACI, as revealed by synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence spectra. The spectroscopic studies were supported by electrochemical analyses, which indicated the formation of an electro-inactive complex between MACI and BSA. From the molecular docking experiments, the most likely binding site for MACI was found to be site I of BSA. Several hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic contacts were observed during the interaction of MACI with site I of BSA. These findings provided detailed insight to understand the binding properties of MACI to BSA, which may be beneficial for medical and pharmaceutical applications in the future. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.

In this work, we propose our top-ranking (2nd place) pipeline for the generation of discharge summary subsections as a part of the BioNLP 2024 Shared Task 2: "Discharge Me!". We evaluate both encoder-decoder and state-of-the-art decoder-only language models on the generation of two key sections of the discharge summary. To evaluate the ability of NLP methods to further alleviate the documentation burden on physicians, we also design a novel pipeline to generate the brief hospital course directly from structured information found in the EHR. Finally, we evaluate a constrained beam search approach to inject external knowledge about relevant patient problems into the text generation process. We find that a BioBART model fine-tuned on a larger fraction of the data without constrained beam search outperforms all other models.. ©2024 Association for computational Linguistics.

Protein-RNA interactions play important roles in cellular processes like protein synthesis, RNA processing, and gene expression regulation. Reliable identification of the interfaces involved in RNA-protein interactions is essential for comprehending the mechanisms and the functional implications of these interactions and provides a valuable guide for rational drug discovery and design. Because the determination of 3D structures of protein-RNA complexes has various technical limitations and is typically costly, reliable in silico interface prediction methods that require only the sequence information are urgently needed. We present HomPRIP, a homologous sequence based method for predicting protein-RNA interfaces, based on our conservation analysis of protein-RNA interfaces. We test Hom-PRIP on a benchmark dataset of 199 proteins and compare it with the state-of-the-art protein-RNA interface prediction methods. Our results show that HomPRIP can reliably identify protein-RNA interface residues in 71% of test proteins with at least one putative sequence homolog passing the similarity thresholds of HomPRIP. Moreover, to facilitate predictions for proteins with no identified homologs, we develop HomPRIP-NB, a method combining the HomPRIP predictor and a Naive Bayes (NB) classifier trained using evolutionary information derived from alignments against the NCBI nr database. Our results suggest that HomPRIP-NB significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art machine learning methods for predicting protein-RNA interface residues. Copyright © 2011 ACM.
