Motivation: Missing values are problematic for the analysis of microarray data. Imputation methods have been compared in terms of the similarity between imputed and true values in simulation experiments and not of their influence on the final analysis. The focus has been on missing at random, while entries are missing also not at random.
Results: We investigate the influence of imputation on the detection of differentially expressed genes from cDNA microarray data. We apply ANOVA for microarrays and SAM and look to the differentially expressed genes that are lost because of imputation. We show that this new measure provides useful information that the traditional root mean squared error cannot capture. We also show that the type of missingness matters: imputing 5% missing not at random has the same effect as imputing 10-30% missing at random. We propose a new method for imputation (LinImp), fitting a simple linear model for each channel separately, and compare it with the widely used KNNimpute method. For 10% missing at random, KNNimpute leads to twice as many lost differentially expressed genes as LinImp.

Background: T cells are involved in every stage of tumor development and significantly influence the tumor microenvironment (TME). Our objective was to assess T-cell marker gene expression profiles, develop a predictive risk model for human papilloma virus (HPV)-negative oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) utilizing these genes, and examine the correlation between the risk score and the immunotherapy response.
Methods: We acquired scRNA-seq data for HPV-negative OSCC from the GEO datasets.

Recent empirical investigations reinforce the understanding of a profound interconnection between metabolic functions and Obstructive Sleep Apnea-hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS). This study identifies distinctive miRNA signatures in OSAHS with Metabolic Syndrome (Mets) patients from healthy subjects, that could serve as diagnostic biomarkers or describe differential molecular mechanisms with potential therapeutic implications. In this study, OSAHS with MetS patients showed significantly higher Apnea Hyponea Index(AHI), but lower oxygen desaturation index(ODI 4/h) and minimum pulse oxygen saturation(SpO).

Astrocytoma is a common type of glioma and a frequent cause of brain tumour-related epilepsy. Although the link between glioma and epilepsy is well established, the precise mechanisms underlying epileptogenesis in astrocytoma remain poorly understood. In this study, we performed proteomic analysis of astrocytoma tissue from patients with and without seizures using mass spectrometry-based techniques.

Zika virus (ZIKV) causes a variety of peripheral and central nervous system complications leading to neurological symptoms such as limb weakness. We used a mouse model to identify candidate genes potentially involved in causation or recovery from ZIKV-induced acute flaccid paralysis. Using Zikv and Chat chromogenic and fluorescence in situ RNA hybridization, electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and ZIKV RT-qPCR, we determined that some paralyzed mice had infected motor neurons, but motor neurons are not reduced in number and the infection was not present in all paralyzed mice; hence infection of motor neurons were not strongly correlated with paralysis.
