Article G-S a Prior Biological Knowledge-Based Pattern Detection and Enrichment Framework for Multi-Omics Data Integration(MDPI, 2025-11-29) Unlu Yazici, Miray; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Yousef, MalikThe rapid advancements in high-throughput technologies have led to a dramatic increase in diverse -omics data types, enabling comprehensive analyses, especially for complex diseases like cancer. Despite the development of multi-omics approaches, the challenges of scaling integration to massive, heterogeneous -omics datasets suggest that novel computational tools need to be designed. In this study, we propose an approach for integrating microRNA (miRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression data, incorporating prior biological knowledge (PBK). This approach scores and ranks groups of miRNAs and their associated genes using cross-validation iterations. The proposed method incorporates a Pattern detection (P) component to identify molecular motifs unique to each biological group. The analysis also facilitates the visualization of the groups, facilitating the identification of co-occurring groups and their characteristic features across iterations. Furthermore, the groups are scored using an over-representation analysis through a new Enrichment (E) component in each iteration. The clusters of the groups based on the Enrichment Scores (ESs) are visualized in a heatmap to obtain novel insights into the collective behavior and dependencies of the groups, aiming to understand the molecular mechanisms of complex diseases. The developed G-S-M-E tool not only provides performance metrics and biological scores at the group level but also offers comprehensive insights into intricate multi-omics interactions. In summary, our study emphasizes the importance of mathematical and data science methodologies in elucidating intricate multi-omics integration, yielding a formalized approach that deepens our comprehension of complex diseases.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 4Computational Detection of Pre-MicroRNAs(Humana Press Inc., 2021-08-26) Saçar Demirci, Müşerref DuyguMicroRNA (miRNA) studies have been one of the most popular research areas in recent years. Although thousands of miRNAs have been detected in several species, the majority remains unidentified. Thus, finding novel miRNAs is a vital element for investigating miRNA mediated posttranscriptional gene regulation machineries. Furthermore, experimental methods have challenging inadequacies in their capability to detect rare miRNAs, and are also limited to the state of the organism under examination (e.g., tissue type, developmental stage, stress-disease conditions). These issues have initiated the creation of high-level computational methodologies endeavoring to distinguish potential miRNAs in silico. On the other hand, most of these tools suffer from high numbers of false positives and/or false negatives and as a result they do not provide enough confidence for validating all their predictions experimentally. In this chapter, computational difficulties in detection of pre-miRNAs are discussed and a machine learning based approach that has been designed to address these issues is reviewed. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
