Published: July 2020

Motivation: The matrix factorization is an important way to analyze coregulation patterns in transcriptomic data, which can reveal the tumor signal perturbation status and subtype classification. However, current matrix factorization methods do not provide clear bicluster structure. Furthermore, these algorithms are based on the assumption of linear combination, which may not be sufficient to capture the coregulation patterns.

Results: We presented a new algorithm for Boolean matrix factorization (BMF) via expectation maximization (BEM). BEM is more aligned with the molecular mechanism of transcriptomic coregulation and can scale to matrix with over 100 million data points. Synthetic experiments showed that BEM outperformed other BMF methods in terms of reconstruction error. Real-world application demonstrated that BEM is applicable to all kinds of transcriptomic data, including bulk RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomic datasets. Given appropriate binarization, BEM was able to extract coregulation patterns consistent with disease subtypes, cell types or spatial anatomy.

Availability And Implementation: Python source code of BEM is available on https://github.com/LifanLiang/EM_BMF.

Supplementary Information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

The partitioning and migrating of antibiotic residues pose a considerable pollution to the river environment. However, a source-specific approach for quantifying the fate of antibiotics is lacking. To further elucidate the migration behavior of antibiotics from different pollution sources in aquatic environments, we introduced a source-specific partition coefficient (S-Kp) based on Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model to improve the multimedia model.

Over the past few decades, micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) have been shown to play significant roles in various biological processes, including disease incidence. Therefore, much effort has been devoted to discovering the pivotal roles of miRNAs in disease incidence to understand the underlying pathogenesis of human diseases. However, identifying miRNA-disease associations using biological experiments is inefficient in terms of cost and time.

A rapid and efficient ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) procedure followed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was developed for the determination of 14 rare earth elements (REEs) (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu), along with yttrium (Y) and scandium (Sc), in coffee samples. The method was validated using certified reference material (NIST SRM 1547), recovery tests at four fortification levels, and comparisons with microwave-assisted digestion (MAD). Excellent accuracy and precision were achieved, with recovery rates ranging from 80.

: The integration of microbiome and metabolome data could unveil profound insights into biological processes. However, widely used multi-omic data analyses often employ a stepwise mining approach, failing to harness the full potential of multi-omic datasets and leading to reduced detection accuracy. Synergistic analysis incorporating microbiome/metabolome data are essential for deeper understanding.
