Accurate prediction of the host phenotype from a metagenomic sample and identification of the associated microbial markers are important in understanding potential host-microbiome interactions related to disease initiation and progression. We introdu...
Cancer origin determination combined with site-specific treatment of metastatic cancer patients is critical to improve patient outcomes. Existing pathology and gene expression-based techniques often have limited performance. In this study, we develop...
In recent years, accumulating studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) not only play an important role in the regulation of various biological processes but also are the foundation for understanding mechanisms of human diseases. Due to ...
Gene expression profiling data contains more information than is routinely extracted with standard approaches. Here we present Fold-Change-Specific Enrichment Analysis (FSEA), a new method for functional annotation of differentially expressed genes f...
The widespread applications of high-throughput sequencing technology have produced a large number of publicly available gene expression datasets. However, due to the gene expression datasets have the characteristics of small sample size, high dimensi...

In recent years, microarray technology and gene expression profiles have been widely used to detect, predict, or classify the samples of various diseases. The presence of large genes in these profiles and the small number of samples are known challen...
Early detection of breast cancer and its correct stage determination are important for prognosis and rendering appropriate personalized clinical treatment to breast cancer patients. However, despite considerable efforts and progress, there is a need ...
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth malignancy, which is characterized by poor prognosis or high mortality because of the lack of predicting markers. Aberrant cancer pseudogenes have been found predictive for prognosis. We aim ...
