Published: October 2011

Molecular entities present in a cell (mRNA, proteins, metabolites,…) do not act in isolation, but rather in cooperation with each other to define an organisms form and function. Their concerted action can be viewed as networks of interacting entities that are active under certain conditions within the cell or upon certain environmental signals. A main challenge in systems biology is to model these networks, or in other words studying which entities interact to form cellular systems or accomplish similar functions. On the contrary, viewing a single entity or an experimental dataset in the light of an interaction network can reveal previous unknown insights in biological processes. In this review we give an overview of how integrated networks can be reconstructed from multiple omics data and how they can subsequently be used for network-based modeling of cellular function in bacteria.

VirDetect-AI: a residual and convolutional neural network-based metagenomic tool for eukaryotic viral protein identification.

Brief Bioinform

November 2024

Departamento de Genética del Desarrollo y Fisiología Molecular, Instituto de Biotecnología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Cuernavaca, Morelos 62210, México.

This study addresses the challenging task of identifying viruses within metagenomic data, which encompasses a broad array of biological samples, including animal reservoirs, environmental sources, and the human body. Traditional methods for virus identification often face limitations due to the diversity and rapid evolution of viral genomes. In response, recent efforts have focused on leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to enhance accuracy and efficiency in virus detection.

Data-Driven Improvement of Local Hybrid Functionals: Neural-Network-Based Local Mixing Functions and Power-Series Correlation Functionals.

J Chem Theory Comput

January 2025

Technische Universitát Berlin, Institut für Chemie, Theoretische Chemie/Quantenchemie, Sekr. C7, Straße des 17. Juni 135, Berlin D-10623, Germany.

Local hybrid functionals (LHs) use a real-space position-dependent admixture of exact exchange (EXX), governed by a local mixing function (LMF). The systematic construction of LMFs has been hampered over the years by a lack of exact physical constraints on their valence behavior. Here, we exploit a data-driven approach and train a new type of "n-LMF" as a relatively shallow neural network.

Cancer is a complex disease driven by mutations in the genes that play critical roles in cellular processes. The identification of cancer driver genes is crucial for understanding tumorigenesis, developing targeted therapies and identifying rational drug targets. Experimental identification and validation of cancer driver genes are time-consuming and costly.

Objectives: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by olfactory dysfunction (OD) and cognitive deficits at its early stages, yet the link between OD and cognitive deficits is also not well-understood. This study aims to examine the changes in the olfactory network associated with OD and their relationship with cognitive function in de novo PD patients.

Methods: A total of 116 drug-naïve PD patients and 51 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited for this study.

In the context of survival analysis, data-driven neural network-based methods have been developed to model complex covariate effects. While these methods may provide better predictive performance than regression-based approaches, not all can model time-varying interactions and complex baseline hazards. To address this, we propose Case-Base Neural Networks (CBNNs) as a new approach that combines the case-base sampling framework with flexible neural network architectures.
