Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2miRcorrNetPro: Unraveling Algorithmic Insights Through Cross-Validation in Multi-Omics Integration for Comprehensive Data Analysis(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023-12-05) Ünlü Yazici, Miray; Yousef, Malik; Marron, J. S.; Bakir-Güngör, Burcu; Yazici, Miray UnluHigh throughput -omics technologies facilitate the investigation of regulatory mechanisms of complex diseases. Along this line, scientists develop promising tools and methods to extend our understanding at the molecular and functional levels. To this end, miRcorrNet tool performs integrative analysis of MicroRNA (miRNA) and gene expression profiles via machine learning (ML) approach to identify significant miRNA groups and their associated target genes. In this study, we propose miRcorrNetPro tool, which extends miRcorrNet by tracking group scoring, ranking and other information through the cross-validation iterations. Heatmap visualizations enable deep novel insights into the collective behavior of clusters of groups in cellular signaling and hence facilitate detection of potential biomarkers for the disease under investigation. Although miRcorrNetPro is designed as a generic tool, here we present our findings and potential miRNA biomarkers for Breast Cancer (BRCA).

The gastrointestinal tract contains tremendous amount of different species including archaea, bacteria, fungi, and viruses. While these organisms are crucial immune system stabilizers, the dysbiosis of the intestinal flora has been related to gastrointestinal disorders including Colorectal cancer (CRC), intestinal cancer, irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. In the last decade, next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods have accelerated the identification of human gut flora. CRC is a deathly condition that has been on the rise in the last century, affecting half a million people each year. Since early CRC diagnosis is critical for an effective treatment, there is an immediate requirement for a classification system that can expedite CRC diagnosis. In this study, via analyzing the available metagenomics data on CRC, we aim to facilitate the CRC diagnosis via finding biomarkers linked with CRC, and via building a classification model. We have obtained the metagenomic sequencing data of the healthy individuals and CRC patients from a metagenome-wide association analysis and we have classified this data according to the disease stages. Conditional Mutual Information Maximization (CMIM), Fast Correlation Based Filter (FCBF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), min redundancy max relevance (mRMR), Information Gain (IG) and Select K Best (SKB) feature selection algorithms were utilized to cope with the complexity of the features. We observed that the SKB, IG, and XGBoost techniques made significant contributions to decrease the microbiota in use for CRC diagnosis, thereby reducing cost and time. We realized that our Random Forest classifier outperformed Adaboost, Support Vector Machine, Decision Tree, Logitboost and stacking ensemble classifiers in terms of CRC classification performance. Our results reiterated some known and some potential microbiome associated mechanisms in CRC, which could aid the design of new diagnostics based on the microbiome. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Population Specific Classification of Colorectal Cancer With Meta-Analysis of Metagenomic Data(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023-10-11) Temiz, Mustafa; Yousef, Malik; Bakir-Güngör, BurcuAdvances in next-generation sequencing and '-omics' technologies makes it possible to characterize the human gut microbiome. While some of these microorganisms are important regulators of our immune system, modulation of the microbiota leads to a variety of diseases. Colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most common cancer worldwide, is caused by genetic mutations, environmental conditions, and abnormalities in the gut microbiota. Using various machine learning methods and meta-analysis techniques, this study aims to build a classification model that can help in CRC diagnosis by analyzing metagenomic datasets of different populations obtained at the species level. Using 8 different countries and 9 different metagenomic datasets, 3 different meta-analyzes are performed: within-population, cross-population, and one population is selected for testing and the rest is used as a training dataset (LODO). For CRC classification, 4 different classification algorithms (Random Forest (RF), Logitboost, Adaboost, and Decision Tree (DT)) are used. The best performance among these methods was obtained with the Random Forest algorithm with an AUC of 0.98 by using JP for the training data set and JPN populations for the test data set in the cross-population performance evaluation. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
