Background: The integration of multi-omics data through deep learning has greatly improved cancer subtype classification, particularly in feature learning and multi-omics data integration. However, key challenges remain in embedding sample structure information into the feature space and designing flexible integration strategies.
Results: We propose MoAGL-SA, an adaptive multi-omics integration method based on graph learning and self-attention, to address these challenges.
Integrating multi-omics data for cancer subtype recognition is an important task in bioinformatics. Recently, deep learning has been applied to recognize the subtype of cancers. However, existing studies almost integrate the multi-omics data simply by concatenation as the single data and then learn a latent low-dimensional representation through a deep learning model, which did not consider the distribution differently of omics data.

Due to the fact that the number of patients in omics data is much smaller than the number of genes, multi-view spectral clustering based on similarity learning has been widely developed. However, these algorithms still suffer some problems, such as over-reliance on the quality of pre-defined similarity matrices for clustering results, inability to reasonably handle noise and redundant information in high-dimensional omics data, ignoring complementary information between omics data, etc.

Clustering of tumor samples can help identify cancer types and discover new cancer subtypes, which is essential for effective cancer treatment. Although many traditional clustering methods have been proposed for tumor sample clustering, advanced algorithms with better performance are still needed. Low-rank subspace clustering is a popular algorithm in recent years.

In recent years, some multi-view clustering algorithms have been proposed and applied to the prediction of cancer subtypes. Among them, the multi-view clustering methods based on graph learning are widely concerned.

In recent years, some multiview clustering algorithms have been proposed and applied to identify cancer subtype. However, these clustering algorithms ignore that each data contributes differently to the clustering results during the fusion process, and they require additional clustering steps to generate the final labels.

To effectively exploit the value of those data, integrative methods are urgently needed. In this paper, based on SNF (Similarity Network Diffusion) [1], we proposed a new integrative method named ndmaSNF (network diffusion model assisted SNF), which can be used for cancer subtype discovery with the advantage of making use of somatic mutation data and other discrete data.

One major goal of large-scale cancer omics study is to understand molecular mechanisms of cancer and find new biomedical targets. To deal with the high-dimensional multidimensional cancer omics data (DNA methylation, mRNA expression, etc.), which can be used to discover new insight on identifying cancer subtypes, clustering methods are usually used to find an effective low-dimensional subspace of the original data and then cluster cancer samples in the reduced subspace.
