Naïve CD8 T cells have the potential to differentiate into a spectrum of functional states during an immune response. How these developmental decisions are made and what mechanisms exist to suppress differentiation toward alternative fates remains unclear. We employed in vivo CRISPR-Cas9-based perturbation sequencing to assess the role of ~40 transcription factors (TFs) and epigenetic modulators in T cell fate decisions. Unexpectedly, we found that knockout of the TF Klf2 resulted in aberrant differentiation to exhausted-like CD8 T cells during acute infection. KLF2 was required to suppress the exhaustion-promoting TF TOX and to enable the TF TBET to drive effector differentiation. KLF2 was also necessary to maintain a polyfunctional tumor-specific progenitor state. Thus, KLF2 provides effector CD8 T cell lineage fidelity and suppresses the exhaustion program.

Frontiers of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in China 2017年第4期5卷 338-351页

作者： Yiyi Liu Hongyu Zhao Department of Biostatistics School of Public Health Yale University New Haven CT 06511 USA Program of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Yale University New Haven CT 06511 USA

Background： Random Forests is a popular classification and regression method that has proven powerful for various prediction problems in biological studies. However, its performance often deteriorates when the number of features increases. To address this limitation, feature elimination Random Forests was proposed that only uses features with the largest variable importance scores. Yet the performance of this method is not satisfying, possibly due to its rigid feature selection, and increased correlations between trees of forest. Methods： We propose variable importance-weighted Random Forests, which instead of sampling features with equal probability at each node to build up trees, samples features according to their variable importance scores, and then select the best split from the randomly selected features. Results： We evaluate the performance of our method through comprehensive simulation and real data analyses, for both regression and classification. Compared to the standard Random Forests and the feature elimination Random Forests methods, our proposed method has improved performance in most cases. Conclusions： By incorporating the variable importance scores into the random feature selection step, our method can better utilize more informative features without completely ignoring less informative ones, hence has improved prediction accuracy in the presence of weak signals and large noises. We have implemented an R package ＂viRandomForests＂ based on the original R package ＂randomForest＂ and it can be freely downloaded from http：// ***/software.

The initiation of B-cell ligand recognition is a critical step for the generation of an immune response against foreign bodies. We sought to identify the biochemical pathways involved in the B-cell ligand recognition cascade and sets of ligands that trigger similar immunological responses. We utilized several comparative approaches to analyze the gene coexpression networks generated from a set of microarray experiments spanning 33 different ligands. First, we compared the degree distributions of the generated networks. Second, we utilized a pairwise network alignment algorithm, BiNA, to align the networks based on the hubs in the networks. Third, we aligned the networks based on a set of KEGG pathways. We summarized our results by constructing a consensus hierarchy of pathways that are involved in B cell ligand recognition. The resulting pathways were further validated through literature for their common physiological responses. Col- lectively, the results based on our comparative analyses of degree distributions, alignment of hubs, and alignment based on KEGG path- ways provide a basis for molecular characterization of the immune response states of B-cells and demonstrate the power of comparative approaches （e.g., gene coexpression network alignment algorithms） in elucidating biochemical pathways involved in complex signaling events in ceils.

Objectives: This study aims to conduct a gap analysis to determine the feasibility of mapping electronic health record data from the Clinical Emergency Data Registry (CEDR) to the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model (OMOP-CDM). Methods: We employed a structured approach using a custom-built comparison matrix. This matrix facilitated the alignment of CEDR data fields with the corresponding elements in the OMOP-CDM schema. Each field was evaluated for compatibility, with categorization into 3 distinct types: direct matches, fields requiring transformation, and fields with no OMOP-CDM equivalent. The mapping process was informed by consultations with the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics community forums and was guided by existing documentation and best practices in data harmonization. We performed descriptive analyses, quantifying the extent of direct matches and identifying the specific transformations needed for each CEDR-CDM field to ensure compliance with the OMOP-CDM model. Results: Our analysis indicates a high degree of compatibility between CEDR and OMOP, with over 90% (244/269) of CEDR fields being successfully mapped. Specifically, 173 fields had direct matches, whereas 71 required transformations. Challenges identified include addressing fields unique to CEDR with no OMOP-CDM equivalent and managing the transformations required for proper alignment. Conclusion: The OMOP-CDM presents a promising framework for standardizing emergency medicine data, thereby enhancing future query automation, analytics, and cross-institutional collaboration. Despite the potential challenges in capturing unique CEDR fields and addressing necessary transformations, most emergency department data can be standardized within the OMOP-CDM, fostering broader insights and applications in research and public health. © 2024 The Author(s)

Phytohormone signaling pathway analysis method for comparing hormone responses in plant-pest interactions

BMC Research Notes 2012年第1期5卷 1-7页

作者： Studham, Matthew E. MacIntosh, Gustavo C. Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Program Iowa State University Ames IA 50011 United States Department of Biochemistry Biophysics and Molecular Biology Iowa State University Ames IA 50011 United States

Background: Phytohormones mediate plant defense responses to pests and pathogens. In particular, the hormones jasmonic acid, ethylene, salicylic acid, and abscisic acid have been shown to dictate and fine-tune defense responses, and identification of the phytohormone components of a particular defense response is commonly used to characterize it. Identification of phytohormone regulation is particularly important in transcriptome analyses. Currently there is no computational tool to determine the relative activity of these hormones that can be applied to transcriptome analyses in soybean. Findings: We developed a pathway analysis method that provides a broad measure of the activation or suppression of individual phytohormone pathways based on changes in transcript expression of pathway-related genes. The magnitude and significance of these changes are used to determine a pathway score for a phytohormone for a given comparison in a microarray experiment. Scores for individual hormones can then be compared to determine the dominant phytohormone in a given defense response. To validate this method, it was applied to publicly available data from previous microarray experiments that studied the response of soybean plants to Asian soybean rust and soybean cyst nematode. The results of the analyses for these experiments agreed with our current understanding of the role of phytohormones in these defense responses. Conclusions: This method is useful in providing a broad measure of the relative induction and suppression of soybean phytohormones during a defense response. This method could be used as part of microarray studies that include individual transcript analysis, gene set analysis, and other methods for a comprehensive defense response characterization. © 2012 Studham and MacIntosh;licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have myriad functions in transcription, translation, and post-transcriptional gene regulation, with central roles in normal development as well as in both genetic and infectious diseases. When a protein binds RNA, a conformational change often occurs. For RNA-protein complexes that have been characterized, conformational changes have been observed in the protein, the RNA, or both. These conformational changes have not been sufficiently characterized, however, in part due to the small number of structures of bound and unbound complexes of RNA-binding proteins available until recently. Here we systematically analyze a new dataset of 90 pairs of bound and unbound proteins to evaluate the conformational changes that occur upon RNA binding. Most of the conformational changes were observed in noninterfacial regions of the RNA-binding proteins. Detailed analyses of the modes of RNA binding and any associated conformational changes in proteins are critical for fully understanding the mechanisms of RNA-protein recognition, for developing better RNA-protein docking methods and methods for predicting interfacial residues, and for RNA-based drug design.

MetNetAPI: A flexible method to access and manipulate biological network data from MetNet

Background. Convenient programmatic access to different biological databases allows automated integration of scientific knowledge. Many databases support a function to download files or data snapshots, or a webservice that offers "live" data. However, the functionality that a database offers cannot be represented in a static data download file, and webservices may consume considerable computational resources from the host server. Results. MetNetAPI is a versatile Application programming Interface (API) to the MetNetDB database. It abstracts, captures and retains operations away from a biological network repository and website. A range of database functions, previously only available online, can be immediately (and independently from the website) applied to a dataset of interest. Data is available in four layers: molecular entities, localized entities (linked to a specific organelle), interactions, and pathways. Navigation between these layers is intuitive (e.g. one can request the molecular entities in a pathway, as well as request in what pathways a specific entity participates). Data retrieval can be customized: Network objects allow the construction of new and integration of existing pathways and interactions, which can be uploaded back to our server. In contrast to webservices, the computational demand on the host server is limited to processing data-related queries only. Conclusions. An API provides several advantages to a systems biology software platform. MetNetAPI illustrates an interface with a central repository of data that represents the complex interrelationships of a metabolic and regulatory network. As an alternative to data-dumps and webservices, it allows access to a current and "live" database and exposes analytical functions to application developers. Yet it only requires limited resources on the server-side (thin server/fat client setup). The API is available for Java, *** and R programming environments and offers flexible query and bro

Genetic correlates of autoreactivity and autoreactive potential in human Ig heavy chains

Background. Immature bone marrow B cells are known to have longer CDR3 than mature peripheral B cells, and this genetic characteristic has been shown to correlate with autoreactivity in these early cells. B-cell Central tolerance eliminates these cells, but it is known that autoreactive B cells nevertheless appear commonly in healthy human blood. We examined over 7,300 Ig genes from Genbank, including those annotated by their discoverers as associated with autoreactivity, to determine the genetic correlates of autoreactivity in mature B cells. Results. We find differential biases in gene segment usage and higher mutation frequency in autoreactivity-associated Ig genes, but the CDR3 lengths do not differ between autoreactive and non-autoreactive Ig genes. The most striking genetic signature of autoreactivity is an increase in the proportion of N-nucleotides relative to germline-encoded nucleotides in CDR3 from autoreactive genes. Conclusion. We hypothesize that peripheral autoreactivity results primarily from somatic mutation, and that the genetic correlates of autoreactivity in mature B-cells are not the same as those for autoreactivity in immature B cells. What is seen in mature autoreactive B cells are the correlates of autoreactive potential, not of autoreactivity per se. The autoreactive potential is higher for V(D)J rearrangements encoded to a large extent by N-nucleotides rather than by the gene segments that, we posit, have been selected in germline evolution for their suppression of autoreactive potential.

Modern high-throughput microscopy methods such as light-sheet imaging and electron microscopy can produce petabytes of data inside of a single experiment. Storage of these large images, however, is challenging because of the difficulty of moving, storing, and analyzing such vast amounts of data, which is often collected at very high data rates (>1GBps). In this report, we provide a comparison of the performance of several compression algorithms using a collection of published and unpublished datasets including confocal, fMOST, and pathology images. We also use simulated data to demonstrate the efficiency of each algorithm as image content or entropy increases. As a result of this work, we recommend the use of the BLOSC algorithm combined with ZSTD for various microscopy applications, as it produces the best compression ratio over a collection of conditions. © 2023 ACM.
