LogLoss-BERAF: An ensemble-based machine learning model for constructing highly accurate diagnostic sets of methylation sites accounting for heterogeneity in prostate cancer.

PloS one
Although modern methods of whole genome DNA methylation analysis have a wide range of applications, they are not suitable for clinical diagnostics due to their high cost and complexity and due to the large amount of sample DNA required for the analys...

Data mining and machine learning approaches for the integration of genome-wide association and methylation data: methodology and main conclusions from GAW20.

BMC genetics
BACKGROUND: Multiple layers of genetic and epigenetic variability are being simultaneously explored in an increasing number of health studies. We summarize here different approaches applied in the Data Mining and Machine Learning group at the GAW20 t...

Using recursive feature elimination in random forest to account for correlated variables in high dimensional data.

BMC genetics
BACKGROUND: Random forest (RF) is a machine-learning method that generally works well with high-dimensional problems and allows for nonlinear relationships between predictors; however, the presence of correlated predictors has been shown to impact it...

DNA methylation-based forensic age prediction using artificial neural networks and next generation sequencing.

Forensic science international. Genetics
The ability to estimate the age of the donor from recovered biological material at a crime scene can be of substantial value in forensic investigations. Aging can be complex and is associated with various molecular modifications in cells that accumul...

DMAK: A curated pan-cancer DNA methylation annotation knowledgebase.

Bioengineered
Pan-cancer analysis can identify cell- and tissue-specific genomic loci and regions with underlying biological functions. Here we present an online curated DNA Methylation Annotation Knowledgebase, DMAK, which includes the pan-cancer analysis results...

Characterization and machine learning prediction of allele-specific DNA methylation.

Genomics
A large collection of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) has been identified in the human genome. Currently, the epigenetic influences of SNPs on their neighboring CpG sites remain elusive. A growing body of evidence suggests that locus-specific ...

Development and validation of a machine learning prognostic model based on an epigenomic signature in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: In Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC), current prognostic scores are unable to fully capture the biological heterogeneity of the disease. While some approaches investigating the role of multi-omics in PDAC are emerging, the analysis ...

Temporally discordant chromatin accessibility and DNA demethylation define short- and long-term enhancer regulation during cell fate specification.

Cell reports
Chromatin and DNA modifications mediate the transcriptional activity of lineage-specifying enhancers, but recent work challenges the dogma that joint chromatin accessibility and DNA demethylation are prerequisites for transcription. To understand thi...
