Integration Of Multi-Platform High-Dimensional Omic Data, Xuebei An

Dissertations & Theses (Open Access)

The development of high-throughput biotechnologies have made data accessible from different platforms, including RNA sequencing, copy number variation, DNA methylation, protein lysate arrays, etc. The high-dimensional omic data derived from different technological platforms have been extensively used to facilitate comprehensive understanding of disease mechanisms and to determine personalized health treatments. Although vital to the progress of clinical research, the high dimensional multi-platform data impose new challenges for data analysis. Numerous studies have been proposed to integrate multi-platform omic data; however, few have efficiently and simultaneously addressed the problems that arise from high dimensionality and complex correlations.

In my dissertation, I …
