ConvNeXt-MHC: improving MHC-peptide affinity prediction by structure-derived degenerate coding and the ConvNeXt model
Brief Bioinform. 2024 Mar 27;25(3):bbae133. doi: 10.1093/bib/bbae133.ABSTRACTPeptide binding to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins plays a critical role in T-cell recognition and the specificity of the immune response. Experimental validation such peptides is extremely resource-intensive. As a result, accurate computational prediction of binding peptides is highly important, particularly in the context of cancer immunotherapy applications, such as the identification of neoantigens. In recent years, there is a significant need to continually improve the existing prediction methods to meet the demands of this fi...

IBPGNET: lung adenocarcinoma recurrence prediction based on neural network interpretability
Brief Bioinform. 2024 Mar 27;25(3):bbae080. doi: 10.1093/bib/bbae080.ABSTRACTLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common histologic subtype of lung cancer. Early-stage patients have a 30-50% probability of metastatic recurrence after surgical treatment. Here, we propose a new computational framework, Interpretable Biological Pathway Graph Neural Networks (IBPGNET), based on pathway hierarchy relationships to predict LUAD recurrence and explore the internal regulatory mechanisms of LUAD. IBPGNET can integrate different omics data efficiently and provide global interpretability. In addition, our experimental results show t...

IMPRINTS.CETSA and IMPRINTS.CETSA.app: an R package and a Shiny application for the analysis and interpretation of IMPRINTS-CETSA data
We present a new algorithm to classify modulated proteins in IMPRINTS-CETSA experiments by a robust single-measure scoring. In this way, both the numerical changes and the statistical significances of the IMPRINTS information can be visualized on a single plot. The IMPRINTS.CETSA and IMPRINTS.CETSA.app R packages are freely available on GitHub at https://github.com/nkdailingyun/IMPRINTS.CETSA and https://github.com/mgerault/IMPRINTS.CETSA.app, respectively. IMPRINTS.CETSA.app is also available as an executable program at https://zenodo.org/records/10636134.PMID:38557673 | PMC:PMC10982947 | DOI:10.1093/bib/bbae128 (Source: ...

SEAOP: a statistical ensemble approach for outlier detection in quantitative proteomics data
Brief Bioinform. 2024 Mar 27;25(3):bbae129. doi: 10.1093/bib/bbae129.ABSTRACTQuality control in quantitative proteomics is a persistent challenge, particularly in identifying and managing outliers. Unsupervised learning models, which rely on data structure rather than predefined labels, offer potential solutions. However, without clear labels, their effectiveness might be compromised. Single models are susceptible to the randomness of parameters and initialization, which can result in a high rate of false positives. Ensemble models, on the other hand, have shown capabilities in effectively mitigating the impacts of such ra...

SpatialcoGCN: deconvolution and spatial information-aware simulation of spatial transcriptomics data via deep graph co-embedding
In this study, we propose that both of the above issues can be significantly improved by introducing a deep graph co-embedding framework. First, we establish a self-supervised, co-graph convolution network-based deep learning model termed SpatialcoGCN, which leverages single-cell data to deconvolve the cell mixtures in spatial data. Evaluations of SpatialcoGCN on a series of simulated ST data and real ST datasets from human ductal carcinoma in situ, developing human heart and mouse brain suggest that SpatialcoGCN could outperform other state-of-the-art cell type deconvolution methods in estimating per-spot cell composition...

Leveraging multi-omics data to empower quantitative systems pharmacology in immuno-oncology
Brief Bioinform. 2024 Mar 27;25(3):bbae131. doi: 10.1093/bib/bbae131.ABSTRACTUnderstanding the intricate interactions of cancer cells with the tumor microenvironment (TME) is a pre-requisite for the optimization of immunotherapy. Mechanistic models such as quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) provide insights into the TME dynamics and predict the efficacy of immunotherapy in virtual patient populations/digital twins but require vast amounts of multimodal data for parameterization. Large-scale datasets characterizing the TME are available due to recent advances in bioinformatics for multi-omics data. Here, we discuss the...

Graphormer supervised de novo protein design method and function validation
Brief Bioinform. 2024 Mar 27;25(3):bbae135. doi: 10.1093/bib/bbae135.ABSTRACTProtein design is central to nearly all protein engineering problems, as it can enable the creation of proteins with new biological functions, such as improving the catalytic efficiency of enzymes. One key facet of protein design, fixed-backbone protein sequence design, seeks to design new sequences that will conform to a prescribed protein backbone structure. Nonetheless, existing sequence design methods present limitations, such as low sequence diversity and shortcomings in experimental validation of the designed functional proteins. These inade...
