Founding Insight

  • context
    bioinformatics  data explosion
     
  • goal
    mine the data to advance human health
     
  • problem
    high-throughput data tends to predict 
    weakly
     
  • remedy
    combine diverse datasets into a strong predictor
     
  • method
    heterogeneous network (hetnet) edge prediction

predicting disease-associated genes

wealth of GWAS associations

integrate diverse data to provide context

network of pathogenesis:

 

  • 18 metanodes
  • 40,343 nodes
     
  • 19 metaedges
  • 1,608,168 edges

type is essential when operating on hetnets

metapath-based approach

feature extraction: the DWPC

learning to classify:

regularized logistic regression

performance and permuation

mechanisms of pathogenesis:

comparing gene set collections

mechanisms of pathogenesis:

comparing metapaths

Predicting withheld MS associations

Novel MS associations

Mining knowledge from 69 years of biomedical publication

  • MEDLINE: curators annotate paper topics
     
  • 21 million articles
  • since 1946
  • 5,594 journals
     
  • cooccurence of two topics indicates a relation
  • diseasesymptom cooccurence in 363,928 articles, 696,252 for diseaseanatomy

Mining MEDLINE for disease context

LINCS L1000: ~20,000 small molecules

We combine all signatures for each DrugBank compound to get a consensus signature

Disease-specific models uncover therapeutic signatures

  • MEDI-HPS:
    • RxNorm
    • MedlinePlus
    • SIDER 2
    • Wikipedia
  • ehrlink: linked data from health records
  • LabeledIn: expert and MTurk curated drug labels
  • PREDICT:
    • UMLS links
    • drugs.com
    • drug labels

legal forays of a modern biodata scientist

Network contains data from 28 resources:

  • 12 lack any licensing information
  • 10 use standard licenses
  • 6 use custom licenses
  • 3 resources are publication supplements
  • 6 forbid commercial use
  • 2 forbid any redistribution of the data

Project is open notebook and maximally reusable

After a 5000+ word discussion:

  • identified a path to compliance that minimizes sacrifice
  • suggestion: release your data under CC0
