Drug Repurposing Through Heterogeneous Network Clustering

Published:

We present a computational method to identify putative drug repurposing candidates through network clustering. A weighted drug-disease network was compiled using known drug-target and disease-gene associations. The disease-drug pairs were assembled in communities detected in the heterogeneous network. Presented at ICIBM 2013. Read more

Biclustering on ChIP-seq Data Revealed Local Binding Partners

Published:

In this paper we present a novel framework capable of finding statistically significant biclusters on ENCODE ChIP sequencing datasets. Our goal is to discover low biclusters with low variance in terms of gene expression, which in theory shold point to coherent functional modules. Presented at ICDMW 2013. Read more

Efficient Interpretation of Clinical Exomes Using a Network-based Approach

Published:

Phenoxome is a computational application that improves the efficiency of the interpretation of WES/WGS data by providing a prioritized list of genes coupled with variant analyses from presenting patient phenotypes. We expect more intelligent computational models will be developed to increase accuracy in variant classification and further reduce the processing time. Presented at AMP Annual Meeting 2015.

Identifying True Variants in Somatic Cancer Using Machine Learning

Published:

We presented a computational classifier to identify true positive SNVs from tumor sequencing. The classifier demonstrated high sensitivity/specificity, and utility on a wide range of tumor samples. Overall, 96% of the SNVs detected will receive a definite label and thus be exempt from manual review. Implementing the model can greatly reduce the hands-on time and hence improve the efficiency without compromising the quality of the clinical tests. Presented at AMP Global Congress 2019. Read more
