SUMMARY:A topological data analysis based classifier
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “A topological data analysis based classifier”\, Kindelan et al.\, arXiv\, 2022 \nAbstract: Topological Data Analysis is an emergent field that aims to discover the underlying dataset’s topological information. Topological Data Analysis tools have been commonly used to create filters and topological descriptors to improve Machine Learning (ML) methods. This paper proposes a different Topological Data Analysis pipeline to classify balanced and imbalanced multi-class datasets without additional ML methods. Our proposed method was designed to solve multi-class problems. It resolves multi-class imbalanced classification problems with no data resampling preprocessing stage. The proposed Topological Data Analysis-based classifier builds a filtered simplicial complex on the dataset representing high-order data relationships. Following the assumption that a meaningful sub-complex exists in the filtration that approximates the data topology\, we apply Persistent Homology to guide the selection of that sub-complex by considering detected topological features. We use each unlabeled point’s link and star operators to provide different sized and multi-dimensional neighborhoods to propagate labels from labeled to unlabeled points. The labeling function depends on the filtration entire history of the filtered simplicial complex and is encoded within the persistent diagrams at various dimensions. We select eight datasets with different dimensions\, degrees of class overlap\, and imbalanced samples per class. The TDABC outperforms all baseline methods classifying multi-class imbalanced data with high imbalanced ratios and data with overlapped classes. Also\, on average\, the proposed method was better than KNN and weighted-KNN and behaved competitively with SVM and Random Forest baseline classifiers in balanced datasets.

SUMMARY:A systems biology approach using multi-scale modeling to understand the immune response to tuberculosis infection and treatment
DESCRIPTION:This talk will be presented online. Zoom link: 997 8258 4700 (pw: 1234) \nAbstract: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases. Caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)\, the standard regimen for treating TB consists of treatment with multiple antibiotics for at least six months. There are a number of complicating factors that contribute to the need for this long treatment duration and increase the risk of treatment failure. The structure of granulomas\, lesions forming in lungs in response to Mtb infection\, create heterogeneous antibiotic distributions that limit antibiotic exposure to Mtb.   We can use a systems biology approach pairing experimental data from non-human primates with computational modeling to represent and predict how factors impact antibiotic regimen efficacy and granuloma bacterial sterilization. We utilize an agent-based\, computational model that simulates granuloma formation\, function and treatment\, called GranSim.  A goal in improving antibiotic treatment for TB is to find regimens that can shorten the time it takes to sterilize granulomas while minimizing the amount of antibiotic required. We also created a whole host model\, called HOSTSIM\, to study Mtb dynamics within a human host.  Overall\, we use these models to help better understand TB treatment and strengthen our ability to predict regimens that can improve clinical treatment of TB.

SUMMARY:Universal biology in adaptation and evolution: dimensional reduction\, and fluctuation-response relationship
DESCRIPTION:This talk will be presented online. Zoom link: 997 8258 4700 (pw: 1234) \nAbstract: A macroscopic theory for cellular states with steady-growth is presented\, based on consistency between cellular growth and molecular replication\, together with robustness of phenotypes against perturbations. Adaptive changes in high-dimensional phenotypes are shown to be restricted within a low-dimensional slow manifold\, from which a macroscopic law for cellular states is derived\, as is confirmed by adaptation experiments of bacteria under stress. The theory is extended to phenotypic evolution\, leading to proportionality between phenotypic responses against genetic evolution and by environmental adaptation\, which explains the evolutionary fluctuation-response relationship previously uncovered.   \nReferences \n\n Kaneko K.\, Life: An Introduction to Complex Systems Biology\, Springer (2006)\n K.

SUMMARY:Physics-informed learning of governing equations from scarce data
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “Physics-informed learning of governing equations from scarce data”\, Chen et al.\, Nature Communications\, 2021 \nAbstract: Extracting governing equations from data is a central challenge in many diverse areas of science and engineering. Data are abundant whereas models often remain elusive\, as in climate science\, neuroscience\, ecology\, finance\, and epidemiology\, to name only a few examples. In this work\, we combine sparsity-promoting techniques and machine learning with nonlinear dynamical systems to discover governing equations from noisy measurement data. The only assumption about the structure of the model is that there are only a few important terms that govern the dynamics\, so that the equations are sparse in the space of possible functions; this assumption holds for many physical systems in an appropriate basis. In particular\, we use sparse regression to determine the fewest terms in the dynamic governing equations required to accurately represent the data. This results in parsimonious models that balance accuracy with model complexity to avoid overfitting. We demonstrate the algorithm on a wide range of problems\, from simple canonical systems\, including linear and nonlinear oscillators and the chaotic Lorenz system\, to the fluid vortex shedding behind an obstacle. The fluid example illustrates the ability of this method to discover the underlying dynamics of a system that took experts in the community nearly 30 years to resolve. We also show that this method generalizes to parameterized systems and systems that are time-varying or have external forcing.

SUMMARY:Universal structural requirements for maximal robust perfect adaptation in biomolecular networks
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Consider a biomolecular reaction network that exhibits robust perfect adaptation to disturbances from several parallel sources. The well-known Internal Model Principle of control theory suggests that such systems must include a subsystem (called the “internal model”) that is able to recreate the dynamic structure of the disturbances. This requirement poses certain structural constraints on the network which we elaborate in this paper for the scenario where constant-in-time disturbances maximally affect network interactions and there is model uncertainty and possible stochasticity in the dynamics. We prove that these structural constraints are primarily characterized by a simple linear-algebraic stoichiometric condition which remains the same for both deterministic and stochastic descriptions of the dynamics. Our results reveal the essential requirements for maximal robust perfect adaptation in biology\, with important implications for both systems and synthetic biology. We exemplify our results through many known examples of robustly adapting networks and we construct new examples of such networks with the aid of our linear-algebraic characterization.

SUMMARY:Data-driven discovery of coordinates and governing equations
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The discovery of governing equations from scientific data has the potential to transform data-rich fields that lack well-characterized quantitative descriptions. Advances in sparse regression are currently enabling the tractable identification of both the structure and parameters of a nonlinear dynamical system from data. The resulting models have the fewest terms necessary to describe the dynamics\, balancing model complexity with descriptive ability\, and thus promoting interpretability and generalizability. This provides an algorithmic approach to Occam’s razor for model discovery. However\, this approach fundamentally relies on an effective coordinate system in which the dynamics have a simple representation. In this work\, we design a custom deep autoencoder network to discover a coordinate transformation into a reduced space where the dynamics may be sparsely represented. Thus\, we simultaneously learn the governing equations and the associated coordinate system. We demonstrate this approach on several example high-dimensional systems with low-dimensional behavior. The resulting modeling framework combines the strengths of deep neural networks for flexible representation and sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics (SINDy) for parsimonious models. This method places the discovery of coordinates and models on an equal footing.

SUMMARY:Transcription factor competition facilitates self-sustained oscillations in single gene genetic circuits
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Genetic feedback loops can be used by cells as a means to regulate internal processes or keep track of time. It is often thought that\, for a genetic circuit to display self-sustained oscillations\, a degree of cooperativity is needed in the binding and unbinding of actor species. This cooperativity is usually modeled using a Hill function\, regardless of the actual promoter architecture. Moreover\, genetic circuits do not operate in isolation and often transcription factors are shared between different promoters. In this work we show how mathematical modelling of genetic feedback loops can be facilitated with a mechanistic fold-change function that takes into account the titration effect caused by competing binding sites for transcription factors. The model shows how the titration effect aids self-sustained oscillations in a minimal genetic feedback loop: a gene that produces its own repressor directly — without cooperative transcription factor binding. The use of delay differential equations leads to a stability contour that predicts whether a genetic feedback loop will show self-sustained oscillations\, even when taking the bursty nature of transcription into account. \n

SUMMARY:Modeling polypharmacy side effects with graph convolutional networks
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “Modeling polypharmacy side effects with graph convolutional networks”\, Zitnik\, Agrawal\, and Leskovec\, Bioinformatics\, 2018 \nMotivation\nThe use of drug combinations\, termed polypharmacy\, is common to treat patients with complex diseases or co-existing conditions. However\, a major consequence of polypharmacy is a much higher risk of adverse side effects for the patient. Polypharmacy side effects emerge because of drug-drug interactions\, in which activity of one drug may change\, favorably or unfavorably\, if taken with another drug. The knowledge of drug interactions is often limited because these complex relationships are rare\, and are usually not observed in relatively small clinical testing. Discovering polypharmacy side effects thus remains an important challenge with significant implications for patient mortality and morbidity. \nResults\nHere\, we present Decagon\, an approach for modeling polypharmacy side effects. The approach constructs a multimodal graph of protein-protein interactions\, drug-protein target interactions and the polypharmacy side effects\, which are represented as drug-drug interactions\, where each side effect is an edge of a different type. Decagon is developed specifically to handle such multimodal graphs with a large number of edge types. Our approach develops a new graph convolutional neural network for multirelational link prediction in multimodal networks. Unlike approaches limited to predicting simple drug-drug interaction values\, Decagon can predict the exact side effect\, if any\, through which a given drug combination manifests clinically. Decagon accurately predicts polypharmacy side effects\, outperforming baselines by up to 69%. We find that it automatically learns representations of side effects indicative of co-occurrence of polypharmacy in patients. Furthermore\, Decagon models particularly well polypharmacy side effects that have a strong molecular basis\, while on predominantly non-molecular side effects\, it achieves good performance because of effective sharing of model parameters across edge types. Decagon opens up opportunities to use large pharmacogenomic and patient population data to flag and prioritize polypharmacy side effects for follow-up analysis via formal pharmacological studies.

SUMMARY:Spatiotemporal reconstruction of static single-cell genomics data
DESCRIPTION:This talk will be presented online. Zoom link: 997 8258 4700 (pw: 1234) \nAbstract: Cells make fate decisions in response to dynamic environments and multicellular structure emerges from interplays among cells in space and time. The recent single-cell genomics technology provides an unprecedented opportunity to profile cells. However\, those measurements are taken as snapshots for groups of individual cells with only static information. Can one infer interactions among cells from such datasets? Is it possible to recover spatial information from non-spatial datasets? How to obtain temporal relationships of cells from the static measurements? In this talk I will present our newly developed computational tools that reconstruct interactions and spatiotemporal relationships for cells using single-cell RNA-seq\, ATAC-seq\, and spatial transcriptomics datasets. Through applications of those methods to systems in development and regeneration\, we show the discovery power of such methods and identify areas for further development in spatiotemporal reconstruction.

SUMMARY:A Deficiency-Based Approach to Parametrizing Positive Equilibria of Biochemical Reaction Systems
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “A Deficiency-Based Approach to Parametrizing Positive Equilibria of Biochemical Reaction Systems”\, Johnston\, Müller\, and Pantea\, Bulletin of Mathematical Biology\, 2019 \nWe present conditions which guarantee a parametrization of the set of positive equilibria of a generalized mass-action system. Our main results state that (1) if the underlying generalized chemical reaction network has an effective deficiency of zero\, then the set of positive equilibria coincides with the parametrized set of complex-balanced equilibria and (2) if the network is weakly reversible and has a kinetic deficiency of zero\, then the equilibrium set is nonempty and has a positive\, typically rational\, parametrization. Via the method of network translation\, we apply our results to classical mass-action systems studied in the biochemical literature\, including the EnvZ–OmpR and shuttled WNT signaling pathways. A parametrization of the set of positive equilibria of a (generalized) mass-action system is often a prerequisite for the study of multistationarity and allows an easy check for the occurrence of absolute concentration robustness\, as we demonstrate for the EnvZ–OmpR pathway.

SUMMARY:Phiclust: a clusterability measure for single-cell transcriptomics reveals phenotypic subpopulations
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “Phiclust: a clusterability measure for single-cell transcriptomics reveals phenotypic subpopulations”\, Mircea et al.\, 2022\, Genome Biology \nThe ability to discover new cell phenotypes by unsupervised clustering of single-cell transcriptomes has revolutionized biology. Currently\, there is no principled way to decide whether a cluster of cells contains meaningful subpopulations that should be further resolved. Here\, we present phiclust (ϕ_clust)\, a clusterability measure derived from random matrix theory that can be used to identify cell clusters with non-random substructure\, testably leading to the discovery of previously overlooked phenotypes.

SUMMARY:Mechanisms for the generation of robust circadian oscillations through ultrasensitivity and differential binding affinity
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “Mechanisms for the generation of robust circadian oscillations through ultrasensitivity and differential binding affinity”\, Behera\, Junco\, and Vaikuntanathan\, The Journal of Physical Chemistry B\, 2021 \nBiochemical circadian rhythm oscillations play an important role in many signaling mechanisms. In this work\, we explore some of the biophysical mechanisms responsible for sustaining robust oscillations by constructing a minimal but analytically tractable model of the circadian oscillations in the KaiABC protein system found in the cyanobacteria S. elongatus. In particular\, our minimal model explicitly accounts for two experimentally characterized biophysical features of the KaiABC protein system\, namely\, a differential binding affinity and an ultrasensitive response. Our analytical work shows how these mechanisms might be crucial for promoting robust oscillations even in suboptimal nutrient conditions. Our analytical and numerical work also identifies mechanisms by which biological clocks can stably maintain a constant time period under a variety of nutrient conditions. Finally\, our work also explores the thermodynamic costs associated with the generation of robust sustained oscillations and shows that the net rate of entropy production alone might not be a good figure of merit to asses the quality of oscillations. \n

SUMMARY:Network design principle for robust oscillatory behaviors with respect to biological noise
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “Network design principle for robust oscillatory behaviors with respect to biological noise”\, Qiao et al\, bioRxiv\, 2021 \nOscillatory behaviors\, which are ubiquitous in transcriptional regulatory networks\, are often subject to inevitable biological noise. Thus a natural question is how transcriptional regulatory networks can robustly achieve accurate oscillation in the presence of biological noise. Here\, we search all two- and three-node transcriptional regulatory network topologies for those robustly capable of accurate oscillation against the parameter variability (extrinsic noise) or stochasticity of chemical reactions (intrinsic noise). We find that\, no matter what source of the noise is applied\, the topologies containing the repressilator with positive auto-regulation show higher robustness of accurate oscillation than those containing the activator-inhibitor oscillator\, and additional positive auto-regulation enhances the robustness against noise. Nevertheless\, the attenuation of different sources of noise is governed by distinct mechanisms: the parameter variability is buffered by the long period\, while the stochasticity of chemical reactions is filtered by the high amplitude. Furthermore\, we analyze the noise of a synthetic human nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling network by varying three different topologies\, and verify that the addition of a repressilator to the activator-inhibitor oscillator\, which leads to the emergence of high-robustness motif—the repressilator with positive auto-regulation\, improves the oscillation accuracy in comparison to the topology with only an activator-inhibitor oscillator. These design principles may be applicable to other oscillatory circuits.

SUMMARY:Quasi-Entropy Closure: A Fast and Reliable Approach to Close the Moment Equations of the Chemical Master Equation
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “Quasi-Entropy Closure: A Fast and Reliable Approach to Close the Moment Equations of the Chemical Master Equation”\, Wagner et al\, bioRxiv\, 2021 \nMotivation: The Chemical Master Equation is the most comprehensive stochastic approach to describe the evolution of a (bio-)chemical reaction system. Its solution is a time-dependent probability distribution on all possible configurations of the system. As the number of possible configurations is typically very large\, the Master Equation is often practically unsolvable. The Method of Moments reduces the system to the evolution of a few moments of this distribution\, which are described by a system of ordinary differential equations. Those equations are not closed\, since lower order moments generally depend on higher order moments. Various closure schemes have been suggested to solve this problem\, with different advantages and limitations. Two major problems with these approaches are first that they are open loop systems\, which can diverge from the true solution\, and second\, some of them are computationally expensive. \nResults: Here we introduce Quasi-Entropy Closure\, a moment closure scheme for the Method of Moments which estimates higher order moments by reconstructing the distribution that minimizes the distance to a uniform distribution subject to lower order moment constraints. Quasi-Entropy closure is similar to Zero-Information closure\, which maximizes the information entropy. Results show that both approaches outperform truncation schemes. Moreover\, Quasi-Entropy Closure is computationally much faster than Zero-Information Closure. Finally\, our scheme includes a plausibility check for the existence of a distribution satisfying a given set of moments on the feasible set of configurations. Results are evaluated on different benchmark problems.

SUMMARY:Fundamental limits on the suppression of molecular fluctuations
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “Fundamental limits on the suppression of molecular fluctuations”\, Lestas et al\, Nature\, 2010 \nAbstract: Negative feedback is common in biological processes and can increase a system’s stability to internal and external perturbations. But at the molecular level\, control loops always involve signalling steps with finite rates for random births and deaths of individual molecules. Here we show\, by developing mathematical tools that merge control and information theory with physical chemistry\, that seemingly mild constraints on these rates place severe limits on the ability to suppress molecular fluctuations. Specifically\, the minimum standard deviation in abundances decreases with the quartic root of the number of signalling events\, making it extremely expensive to increase accuracy. Our results are formulated in terms of experimental observables\, and existing data show that cells use brute force when noise suppression is essential; for example\, regulatory genes are transcribed tens of thousands of times per cell cycle. The theory challenges conventional beliefs about biochemical accuracy and presents an approach to the rigorous analysis of poorly characterized biological systems.

SUMMARY:Structure-based analysis of chemical reaction networks 2/2

In many situations\, it is hard to identify the details of the reactions\, such as the reaction kinetics and parameter values. It would be good if we can clarify what we can say about the behavior of reaction systems\, when we know the structure of reaction networks but reaction kinetics is unknown. In these talks\, I plan to introduce two approaches in this spirit. Firstly\, we will discuss the sensitivity analysis of reaction systems based on the structural information of reaction networks [1]. I will give an introduction to the method of identifying subnetworks inside which the effects of the perturbation of reaction parameters are confined. Secondly\, I will introduce the reduction method that we developed recently [2]. In those two methods\, an integer determined by the topology of a subnetwork\, which we call an influence index\, plays a crucial role. \n[1] T. Okada\, A.

SUMMARY:Stem cell dynamics in the intestine and stomach
DESCRIPTION:In adult tissues\, stem cells undergo clonal competition because they proliferate while the stem cell niche provides limited space. This clonal competition allows the selection of healthy stem cells over time as unfit stem cells tend to lose from the competition. It could also be a mechanism to select a supercompetitor with tumorigenic mutations\, which may lead to tumorigenesis. I am going to explain general concepts of clonal competition and how a simple model can explain the behaviour of adult stem cells. I will also show how geometric constraints affect the overall dynamics of stem cell competition.

SUMMARY:The Generalized Multiset Sampler
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “The Generalized Multiset Sampler”\, Kim and MacEachern\, The Journal of Computation and Graphical Statistics\, 2021 \nAbstract: The multiset sampler\, an MCMC algorithm recently proposed by Leman and coauthors\, is an easy-to-implement algorithm which is especially well-suited to drawing samples from a multimodal distribution. We generalize the algorithm by redefining the multiset sampler with an explicit link between target distribution and sampling distribution. The generalized formulation replaces the multiset with a K-tuple\, which allows us to use the algorithm on unbounded parameter spaces\, improves estimation\, and sets up further extensions to adaptive MCMC techniques. Theoretical properties of the algorithm are provided and guidance is given on its implementation. Examples\, both simulated and real\, confirm that the generalized multiset sampler provides a simple\, general and effective approach to sampling from multimodal distributions. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

SUMMARY:디지털 표현형의 진단 및 치료적 적용
DESCRIPTION:디지털 표현형의 진단 및 치료적 적용 조철현(세종충남대학교병원) 디지털 표현형(digital phenotype)은 각 개개인이 일상생활에서 사용하는 다양한 디지털 기기를 통해서 실시간으로 얻어지는 다양한 형태의 데이터를 뜻하는 것으로\, 디지털 기기의 사용이 보편화되면서 의료적 적용에 대한 가능성이 한층 높아지고 있다. 디지털 표현형은 이전에는 측정(measure)하기 힘들었던 영역에 대한 측정을 가능케 함으로써\, 의학적 평가나 진단적인 측면에서 임상적 함의를 갖는다고 볼 수 있겠다. 실제 의료현장에서 충분히 접근하고 파악하지 못했던 임상적인 의미를 도출해 내거나 새로운 발견을 할 수 있는 근거로 활용할 수도 있겠다. 임상적 상태의 변화나 치료 효과\, 예후 평가를 위한 기준으로 활용할 수도 있겠다. 또한\, 디지털치료제의 개발과 적용에 있어서 디지털 표현형을 고려하고 반영하는 것은 매우 중요한 부분이 될 것이다. 디지털치료제(Digital Therapeutics)는 사람을 대상으로 치료\, 예방\, 예후 개선 등을 목적으로 인지\, 행동\, 생활습관 등의 변화를 이끌어내기 위한 소프트웨어 형태로서 디지털 시대의 새로운 치료적 옵션으로 주목받고 있다. 특히\, 개인별\, 맞춤형 치료적 접근을 위해서는 디지털 표현형에 대한 이해를 높이고 잘 활용하는 것이 필수적이다. 본 발표에서는 디지털 표현형의 정의와 특성\, 임상적으로 어떤 함의를 가지고 있는 지에 대해 논의하고자 한다. 아울러\, 디지털 표현형의 활용 가능성\, 실제적 적용\, 디지털치료제에의 적용을 위한 방향성에 대해 발표하고자 한다.

SUMMARY:Information Integration and Energy Expenditure in Gene Regulation
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “Information Integration and Energy Expenditure in Gene Regulation”\, Estrada et al.\, Cell\, 2016 \nAbstract: The quantitative concepts used to reason about gene regulation largely derive from bacterial studies. We show that this bacterial paradigm cannot explain the sharp expression of a canonical developmental gene in response to a regulating transcription factor (TF). In the absence of energy expenditure\, with regulatory DNA at thermodynamic equilibrium\, information integration across multiple TF binding sites can generate the required sharpness\, but with strong constraints on the resultant “higher-order cooperativities.” Even with such integration\, there is a “Hopfield barrier” to sharpness; for n TF binding sites\, this barrier is represented by the Hill function with the Hill coefficient n. If\, however\, energy is expended to maintain regulatory DNA away from thermodynamic equilibrium\, as in kinetic proofreading\, this barrier can be breached and greater sharpness achieved. Our approach is grounded in fundamental physics\, leads to testable experimental predictions\, and suggests how a quantitative paradigm for eukaryotic gene regulation can be formulated.
