We present Augur, a method to prioritize the cell types most responsive to biological perturbations in single-cell data. Augur employs a machine-learning framework to quantify the separability of perturbed and unperturbed cells within a high-dimensio...
BACKGROUND: Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) have been previously studied by using Boolean/multi-state logics. While the gene expression values are usually scaled into the range [0, 1], these GRN inference methods apply a threshold to discretize the d...
A number of different feature selection and classification techniques have been proposed in literature including parameter-free and parameter-based algorithms. The former are quick but may result in local maxima while the latter use dataset-specific ...
'Polypharmacology' is usually used to describe the network-wide effect of a single compound, but traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a polypharmacological effect naturally based on the 'multi-components, multi-targets and multi-pathways' principle...
BACKGROUND: The main challenge in cancer research is the identification of different omic variables that present a prognostic value and personalised diagnosis for each tumour. The fact that the diagnosis is personalised opens the doors to the design ...
A major obstacle to treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) is our lack of understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying selective neuronal vulnerability, a key characteristic of the disease. Here, we present a framework integrating high-quality neu...

To date, many proteins generated by large-scale genome sequencing projects are still uncharacterized and subject to intensive investigations by both experimental and computational means. Knowledge of protein subcellular localization (SCL) is of key i...
Spatial transcriptomics allows for the measurement of RNA abundance at a high spatial resolution, making it possible to systematically link the morphology of cellular neighbourhoods and spatially localized gene expression. Here, we report the develop...
During the development of new drugs or compounds there is a requirement for preclinical trials, commonly involving animal tests, to ascertain the safety of the compound prior to human trials. Machine learning techniques could provide an in-silico alt...
