Heterogeneity of genetic sequence within quasi-species of influenza virus revealed by single-molecule sequencing.

eLife
Influenza viruses exhibit high mutation rates and extensive genetic diversity, which hinder effective vaccine development and facilitate immune evasion (Taubenberger and Morens, 2006; Barr et al., 2010). These mutations arise from the error-prone vir...

MorphoITH: a framework for deconvolving intra-tumor heterogeneity using tissue morphology.

Genome medicine
BACKGROUND: Tumor evolution, driven by the emergence of genetically and epigenetically distinct subclones, enables cancers to adapt to selective pressures and become more aggressive, posing a major challenge in oncology. Multi-regional sequencing has...

Unravelling single-cell DNA replication timing dynamics using machine learning reveals heterogeneity in cancer progression.

Nature communications
Genomic heterogeneity has largely been overlooked in single-cell replication timing (scRT) studies. Here, we develop MnM, an efficient machine learning-based tool that allows disentangling scRT profiles from heterogenous samples. We use single-cell c...

Harnessing Population Pedigree Data and Machine Learning Methods to Identify Patterns of Familial Bladder Cancer Risk.

Cancer epidemiology, biomarkers & prevention : a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research, cosponsored by the American Society of Preventive Oncology
BACKGROUND: Relatives of patients with bladder cancer have been shown to be at increased risk for kidney, lung, thyroid, and cervical cancer after correcting for smoking-related behaviors that may concentrate in some families. We demonstrate a novel ...

scAI: an unsupervised approach for the integrative analysis of parallel single-cell transcriptomic and epigenomic profiles.

Genome biology
Simultaneous measurements of transcriptomic and epigenomic profiles in the same individual cells provide an unprecedented opportunity to understand cell fates. However, effective approaches for the integrative analysis of such data are lacking. Here,...

Biologically Relevant Heterogeneity: Metrics and Practical Insights.

SLAS discovery : advancing life sciences R & D
Heterogeneity is a fundamental property of biological systems at all scales that must be addressed in a wide range of biomedical applications, including basic biomedical research, drug discovery, diagnostics, and the implementation of precision medic...

Divergent Clonal Evolution and Early Dissemination Promote Genetic Heterogeneity of Metastases in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.

Cancer research
UNLABELLED: Lethal prostate cancer has passed through at least two evolutionary bottlenecks: acquisition of metastatic potential and development of castration resistance. A better understanding of how this affects genetic heterogeneity across metasta...

Towards multi-omics characterization of tumor heterogeneity: a comprehensive review of statistical and machine learning approaches.

Briefings in bioinformatics
The multi-omics molecular characterization of cancer opened a new horizon for our understanding of cancer biology and therapeutic strategies. However, a tumor biopsy comprises diverse types of cells limited not only to cancerous cells but also to tum...
