Project description:Although many methods have been developed for inference of biological networks, the validation of the resulting models has largely remained an unsolved problem. Here we present a framework for quantitative assessment of inferred gene interaction networks using knock-down data from cell line experiments. Using this framework we are able to show that network inference based on integration of prior knowledge derived from the biomedical literature with genomic data significantly improves the quality of inferred networks relative to other approaches. Our results also suggest that cell line experiments can be used to quantitatively assess the quality of networks inferred from tumor samples. Knock-down of eight genes were performed on colorectal cancer cell lines to identify the genes whose expression was significantly affected. These genes were subsequently used to validate the quality of our causal gene interaction network.

Project description:A dominant loss of function mutation in myo-inositol phosphate synthase gene and recessive loss of function mutations in two multidrug resistant protein type-ABC transporter genes not only reduce the seed phytic acid levels in soybean, but also affect the pathways associated with seed development, ultimately resulting in low emergence. To understand the regulatory mechanisms and identify key genes that intervene in the seed development process in low phytic acid crops, we performed computational inference of gene regulatory networks in low and normal phytic acid soybeans using a time course transcriptomic data and multiple network inference algorithms. We identified several transcription factors and their regulatory interactions with genes that have functions in myo-inositol biosynthesis, auxin-ABA signaling and seed dormancy. We validated the predicted regulatory network by comparing it with published regulatory interactions in Arabidopsis. Some regulatory interactions were found in the low phytic acid mutants but not in non-mutant plants. These findings provide important hypotheses on expression regulation of myo-inositol metabolism, and phytohormone signaling in developing low phytic acid soybeans. The computational pipeline used for unsupervised network learning in this study is provided as open source software and is freely available at https://lilabatvt.github.io/LPANetwork/.

Project description:Across a range of biological processes, cells undergo coordinated changes in gene expression, resulting in transcriptome dynamics that unfold within a low-dimensional manifold. Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) only measures temporal snapshots of gene expression, yet information on the underlying low-dimensional dynamics can be extracted using RNA velocity, which models unspliced and spliced RNA abundances to estimate the rate of change of gene expression. Available RNA velocity algorithms can be fragile and rely on heuristics that lack statistical control. Moreover, the estimated vector field is not dynamically consistent with the traversed gene expression manifold. Here, we develop a generative model of RNA velocity and a Bayesian inference approach that solves these problems. Our model couples velocity field and manifold estimation in a reformulated, unified framework, so as to coherently identify the parameters of an autonomous dynamical system. Focusing on the cell cycle, we implemented VeloCycle to study gene regulation dynamics on one-dimensional periodic manifolds and validated using live-imaging its ability to infer actual cell cycle periods. We benchmarked RNA velocity inference with sensitivity analyses and demonstrated one- and multiple-sample testing. We also conducted Markov chain Monte Carlo inference on the model, uncovering key relationships between gene-specific kinetics and our gene-independent velocity estimate. Finally, we applied VeloCycle to in vivo samples and in vitro genome-wide Perturb-seq, revealing regionally defined proliferation modes in neural progenitors and the effect of gene knockdowns on cell cycle speed. Ultimately, VeloCycle expands the scRNA-seq analysis toolkit with a modular and statistically rigorous RNA velocity inference framework.

Project description:Genome control is operated by transcription factors (TF) controlling their target genes by binding to promoters and enhancers. Conceptually, the interactions between TFs, their binding sites, and their functional targets are represented by gene regulatory networks (GRN). Deciphering in vivo GRNs underlying organ development in an unbiased genome-wide setting involves identifying both functional TF-gene interactions and physical TF-DNA interactions. To reverse-engineer the GRN of eye development in Drosophila, we performed RNA-seq across 72 genetic perturbations and sorted cell types, and inferred a co-expression network. Next, we derived direct TF-DNA interactions using computational motif inference, ultimately connecting 241 TFs to 5632 direct target genes through 24926 enhancers. Using this network we found network motifs, cis-regulatory codes, and new regulators of eye development. We validate the predicted target regions of Grainyhead by ChIP-seq and identify this factor as a general co-factor in the eye network, being bound to thousands of nucleosome-free regions.

Project description:Gene regulatory network inference is essential to uncover complex relationships among gene pathways and inform downstream experiments, ultimately enabling regulatory network re-engineering. Network inference from transcriptional time-series data requires accurate, interpretable, and efficient determination of causal relationships among thousands of genes. Here, we develop Bootstrap Elastic net regression from Time Series (BETS), a statistical framework based on Granger causality for the recovery of a directed gene network from transcriptional time-series data. BETS uses elastic net regression and stability selection from bootstrapped samples to infer causal relationships among genes. BETS is highly parallelized, enabling efficient analysis of large transcriptional data sets. We show competitive accuracy on a community benchmark, the DREAM4 100-gene network inference challenge, where BETS is one of the fastest among methods of similar performance and additionally infers whether the causal effects are activating or inhibitory. We apply BETS to transcriptional time-series data of 2,768 differentially-expressed genes from A549 cells exposed to glucocorticoids over a period of 12 hours. We identify a network of 2,768 genes and 31,945 directed edges (FDR <= 0.2). We validate inferred causal network edges using two external data sources: overexpression experiments on the same glucocorticoid system, and genetic variants associated with inferred edges in primary lung tissue in the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) v6 project. BETS is available as an open source software package at https://github.com/lujonathanh/BETS

Project description:Cell type-specific gene expression patterns are outputs of transcriptional gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that dynamically reconfigure to drive diverse cellular states. Single-cell transcriptomic technologies, such as single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single cell Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (scATAC-seq), can examine the transcriptional state at individual cell resolution, allowing the study of cellular heterogeneity and cell-type specific gene regulation in dynamic processes such as cell fate specification. However, current approaches to infer cell type-specific gene regulatory networks from these datasets are limited in their ability to integrate scRNA-seq and scATACseq measurements and to model network dynamics on a cell lineage. To address this challenge, we have developed single-cell Multi-Task Network Inference (scMTNI), a multi-task learning framework to infer the gene regulatory network for each cell type on a lineage from scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq data. Using simulated, published, and newly collected single cell omic datasets, we show that scMTNI is able to accurately infer gene regulatory networks and captures meaningful network dynamics that identify GRN components associated with cell type transitions. Application of our method to mouse cellular reprogramming identified key regulators associated with cell populations that reprogram versus those that are stalled. Taken together, scMTNI is a powerful framework to infer cell type-specific gene regulatory networks and their dynamics from scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq datasets.
