CASSIA: a multi-agent large language model for reference free, interpretable, and automated cell annotation of single-cell RNA-sequencing data

ABSTRACT: Cell type annotation is an essential step in single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis, and numerous annotation methods are available. Most require a combination of computational and domain-specific expertise, and they frequently yield inconsistent results that can be challenging to interpret. Large language models have the potential to expand accessibility while reducing manual input and improving accuracy, but existing approaches suffer from hyperconfidence, hallucinations, and lack of reasoning. To address these limitations, we developed CASSIA for automated, accurate, and interpretable cell annotation of single-cell RNA-sequencing data. As demonstrated in analyses of 970 cell types, CASSIA improves annotation accuracy in benchmark datasets as well as complex and rare cell populations, and also provides users with reasoning and quality assessment to ensure interpretability, guard against hallucinations, and calibrate confidence.

SEAMoD: A fully interpretable neural network for cis-regulatory analysis of differentially expressed genes [ChIP-seq]

Project description:A common way to investigate gene regulatory mechanisms is to identify differentially expressed genes using transcriptomics, find their candidate enhancers using epigenomics, and search for over-represented transcription factor (TF) motifs in these enhancers using bioinformatics tools. A related follow-up task is to model gene expression as a function of enhancer sequences and rank TF motifs by their contribution to such models, thus prioritizing among regulators. We present a new computational tool called SEAMoD that performs the above tasks of motif finding and sequence-to-expression modeling simultaneously. It trains a convolutional neural network model to relate enhancer sequences to differential expression in one or more biological conditions. The model uses TF motifs to interpret the sequences, learning these motifs and their relative importance to each biological condition from data. It also utilizes epigenomic information in the form of activity scores of putative enhancers and automatically searches for the most promising enhancer for each gene. Compared to existing neural network models of non-coding sequences, SEAMoD uses far fewer parameters, requires far less training data, and emphasizes biological interpretability. We used SEAMoD to understand regulatory mechanisms underlying the differentiation of neural stem cell (NSC) derived from mouse forebrain. We profiled gene expression and histone modifications in NSC and three differentiated cell types and used SEAMoD to model differential expression of nearly 12,000 genes with an accuracy of 81%, in the process identifying the Olig2, E2f family TFs, Foxo3, and Tcf4 as key transcriptional regulators of the differentiation process.

Establishment of interpretable cytotoxicity prediction models using machine learning analysis of transcriptome features

Project description:Cytotoxicity, usually represented by cell viability, is a crucial parameter for evaluating drug safety in vitro. Accurate prediction of cell viability/cytotoxicity could accelerate drug development in the early stage. In this study, by using machine learning algorithms on cellular transcriptome and cell viability data, highly accurate prediction models of 50% and 80% cell viability were developed with AUROCs of 0.90 and 0.84, respectively, which also showed good performance on diverse cell lines. With respect to the characterization of Feature Genes employed, the models can be interpreted, and the mechanisms of bioactive compounds with narrow therapeutic indices can also be analyzed. In summary, the models established in this study have the capacity to predict cytotoxicity highly accurately across cell lines and can be used for high safety substances screening efficiently. Moreover, the Cytotoxicity Signature genes from interpretability analysis is valuable for studying the mechanisms of action, especially for substances with narrow therapeutic indices.

Augmenting interpretable models with large language models during training.

Project description:Recent large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, have demonstrated remarkable prediction performance for a growing array of tasks. However, their proliferation into high-stakes domains and compute-limited settings has created a burgeoning need for interpretability and efficiency. We address this need by proposing Aug-imodels, a framework for leveraging the knowledge learned by LLMs to build extremely efficient and interpretable prediction models. Aug-imodels use LLMs during fitting but not during inference, allowing complete transparency and often a speed/memory improvement of greater than 1000x for inference compared to LLMs. We explore two instantiations of Aug-imodels in natural-language processing: Aug-Linear, which augments a linear model with decoupled embeddings from an LLM and Aug-Tree, which augments a decision tree with LLM feature expansions. Across a variety of text-classification datasets, both outperform their non-augmented, interpretable counterparts. Aug-Linear can even outperform much larger models, e.g. a 6-billion parameter GPT-J model, despite having 10,000x fewer parameters and being fully transparent. We further explore Aug-imodels in a natural-language fMRI study, where they generate interesting interpretations from scientific data.

Interpretable adenylation domain specificity prediction using protein language models.

Project description:Natural products have long been a rich source of diverse and clinically effective drug candidates. Non-ribosomal peptides (NRPs), polyketides (PKs), and NRP-PK hybrids are three classes of natural products that display a broad range of bioactivities, including antibiotic, antifungal, anticancer, and immunosuppressant activities. However, discovering these compounds through traditional bioactivity-guided techniques is costly and time-consuming, often resulting in the rediscovery of known molecules. Consequently, genome mining has emerged as a high-throughput strategy to screen hundreds of thousands of microbial genomes to identify their potential to produce novel natural products. Adenylation domains play a key role in the biosynthesis of NRPs and NRP-PKs by recruiting substrates to incrementally build the final structure. We propose MASPR, a machine learning method that leverages protein language models for accurate and interpretable predictions of A-domain substrate specificities. MASPR demonstrates superior accuracy and generalization over existing methods and is capable of predicting substrates not present in its training data, or zero-shot classification. We use MASPR to develop Seq2Hybrid, an efficient algorithm to predict the structure of hybrid NRP-PK natural products from microbial genomes. Using Seq2Hybrid, we propose putative biosynthetic gene clusters for the orphan natural products Octaminomycin A, Dityromycin, SW-163B, and JBIR-39.

Zero-shot interpretable phenotyping of postpartum hemorrhage using large language models.

Project description:Many areas of medicine would benefit from deeper, more accurate phenotyping, but there are limited approaches for phenotyping using clinical notes without substantial annotated data. Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated immense potential to adapt to novel tasks with no additional training by specifying task-specific instructions. Here we report the performance of a publicly available LLM, Flan-T5, in phenotyping patients with postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) using discharge notes from electronic health records (n = 271,081). The language model achieves strong performance in extracting 24 granular concepts associated with PPH. Identifying these granular concepts accurately allows the development of interpretable, complex phenotypes and subtypes. The Flan-T5 model achieves high fidelity in phenotyping PPH (positive predictive value of 0.95), identifying 47% more patients with this complication compared to the current standard of using claims codes. This LLM pipeline can be used reliably for subtyping PPH and outperforms a claims-based approach on the three most common PPH subtypes associated with uterine atony, abnormal placentation, and obstetric trauma. The advantage of this approach to subtyping is its interpretability, as each concept contributing to the subtype determination can be evaluated. Moreover, as definitions may change over time due to new guidelines, using granular concepts to create complex phenotypes enables prompt and efficient updating of the algorithm. Using this language modelling approach enables rapid phenotyping without the need for any manually annotated training data across multiple clinical use cases.

Machine learning for discovery: deciphering RNA splicing logic

Project description:Machine learning methods, particularly neural networks trained on large datasets, are transforming how scientists approach scientific discovery and experimental design. However, current state-of-the-art neural networks are limited by their uninterpretability: despite providing accurate predictions, they cannot describe how they arrived at their predictions. Here, using an ``interpretable-by-design'' approach, we present a neural network model that provides insights into RNA splicing, a fundamental process in the transfer of genomic information into functional biochemical products. Although we designed our model to emphasize interpretability, its predictive accuracy is on par with state-of-the-art models. To demonstrate the model's interpretability, we introduce a visualization that, for any given exon, allows us to trace and quantify the entire decision process from input sequence to output splicing prediction. Importantly, the model revealed novel components of the splicing logic, which we experimentally validated. This study highlights how interpretable machine learning can advance scientific discovery.
