Deciphering The Associations Between Gene Expression And Copy Number Alteration Using A Sparse Double Laplacian Shrinkage Approach, Shuangge Ma Dec 2014

Deciphering The Associations Between Gene Expression And Copy Number Alteration Using A Sparse Double Laplacian Shrinkage Approach, Shuangge Ma

Shuangge Ma

Both gene expression levels (GEs) and copy number alterations (CNAs) have important implications in the development of complex diseases. GEs are partly regulated by CNAs, and much effort has been devoted to understanding their relations. The expression of a gene can be regulated by multiple CNAs, and one CNA can regulate the expression of multiple genes. In addition, multiple GEs (CNAs) can be correlated with each other. The existing methods for associating GEs with CNAs have limitations in deciphering the complex data structures. In this study, we develop a sparse double Laplacian shrinkage approach. It jointly models the effects of …


A Penalized Robust Semiparametric Approach For Gene-Environment Interactions, Shuangge Ma Dec 2014

A Penalized Robust Semiparametric Approach For Gene-Environment Interactions, Shuangge Ma

Shuangge Ma

In genetic and genomic studies, gene-environment (G*E) interactions have important implications. Some of the existing G$\times$E interaction methods are limited by analyzing a small number of G factors at a time, by assuming linear effects of E factors, by assuming no data contamination, and by adopting ineffective selection techniques. In this study, we propose a new approach for identifying important G*E interactions. It jointly models the effects of all E and G factors and their interactions. A partially linear varying coefficient model (PLVCM) is adopted to accommodate possible nonlinear effects of E factors. A rank-based loss function is used to …

Incorporating Network Structure In Integrative Analysis Of Cancer Prognosis Data, Shuangge Ma Dec 2011

Incorporating Network Structure In Integrative Analysis Of Cancer Prognosis Data, Shuangge Ma

Shuangge Ma

In high-throughput cancer genomic studies, markers identified from the analysis of single datasets may have unsatisfactory properties because of low sample sizes. Integrative analysis pools and analyzes raw data from multiple studies, and can effectively increase sample size and lead to improved marker identification results. In this study, we consider the integrative analysis of multiple high-throughput cancer prognosis studies. In the existing integrative analysis studies, the interplay among genes, which can be described using the network structure, has not been effectively accounted for. In network analysis, tightly-connected nodes (genes) are more likely to have related biological functions and similar regression …

Identification Of Gene-Environment Interactions In Cancer Prognosis Studies Using Penalization, Shuangge Ma Dec 2011

Identification Of Gene-Environment Interactions In Cancer Prognosis Studies Using Penalization, Shuangge Ma

Shuangge Ma

High-throughput cancer studies have been extensively conducted, searching for genetic risk factors independently associated with prognosis beyond clinical and environmental risk factors. Many studies have shown that the gene-environment interactions may have important implications. Some of the existing methods, such as the commonly adopted single-marker analysis, may be limited in that they cannot accommodate the joint effects of a large number of genetic markers or use ineffective marker identification techniques. In this study, we analyze cancer prognosis studies, and adopt the AFT (accelerated failure time) model to describe survival. A weighted least squares approach, which has the lowest computational cost, …


Integrative Analysis Of Cancer Genomic Data, Shuangge Ma Sep 2009

Integrative Analysis Of Cancer Genomic Data, Shuangge Ma

Shuangge Ma

In the past decade, we have witnessed a period of unparallel development in the field of cancer genomics. To address the same or similar biomedical questions, multiple cancer genomic studies have been independently designed and conducted. Cancer gene signatures identified from analysis of individual datasets often have low reproducibility. A cost-effective way of improving reproducibility is to conduct integrative analysis of datasets from multiple studies with comparable designs. To properly integrate multiple studies and conduct integrative analysis, we need to access various public data warehouses, retrieve experiment protocols and raw data, evaluate individual studies and select those with comparable designs, …
