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...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning is a sub-field of artificial intelligence, which utilises large data sets to make predictions for future events. Although most algorithms used in machine learning were developed as far back as the 1950s, the advent of big...
Gene expression analysis plays a significant role for providing molecular insights in cancer. Various genetic and epigenetic factors (being dealt under multi-omics) affect gene expression giving rise to cancer phenotypes. A recent growth in understan...
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder and characterized by the cognitive impairments. It is essential to identify potential gene biomarkers for AD pathology.
BACKGROUND: DNA methylation (DNAm) is an epigenetic regulator of gene expression programs that can be altered by environmental exposures, aging, and in pathogenesis. Traditional analyses that associate DNAm alterations with phenotypes suffer from mul...
DNA methylation of various genomic regions has beenĀ found to be associated with gene expression in diverse biological contexts. However, most genome-wide studies have focused on the effect of (1) methylation in cis, not in trans and (2) a single CpG,...

PURPOSE: Pancreatic cancer remains a disease of high mortality despite advanced diagnostic techniques. Mucins (MUC) play crucial roles in carcinogenesis and tumor invasion in pancreatic cancers. MUC1 and MUC4 expression are related to the aggressive ...
Given that the biological processes governing the oncogenesis of pancreatic cancers could present useful therapeutic targets, there is a pressing need to molecularly distinguish between different clinically relevant pancreatic cancer subtypes. To add...
DNA methylation data-based precision cancer diagnostics is emerging as the state of the art for molecular tumor classification. Standards for choosing statistical methods with regard to well-calibrated probability estimates for these typically highly...
