Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) have been implicated in diverse biological roles including gene regulation and genomic imprinting. Identifying lncRNA in bovine across many differing tissue would contribute to the current repertoire of bovine lncRNA, and help further improve our understanding of the evolutionary importance and constraints of these transcripts. Additionally, it could aid in identifying sites in the genome outside of protein coding genes where mutations could contribute to variation in complex traits. This is particularly important in bovine as genomic predictions are increasingly used in genetic improvement for milk and meat production. Our aim was to identify and annotate novel long non coding RNA transcripts in the bovine genome captured from RNA Sequencing (RNA-Seq) data across 18 tissues, sampled in triplicate from a single cow. To address the main challenge in identifying lncRNA, namely distinguishing lncRNA transcripts from unannotated genes and protein coding genes, a lncRNA identification pipeline with a number of filtering steps was developed. A total of 9,778 transcripts passed the filtering pipeline. The bovine lncRNA catalogue includes MALAT1 and HOTAIR, both of which have been well described in human and mouse genomes. We attempted to validate the lncRNA in libraries from three additional cows. 726 (87.47%) liver and 1,668 (55.27%) blood class 3 lncRNA were validated with stranded liver and blood libraries respectively. Additionally, this study identified a large number of novel unknown transcripts in the bovine genome with high protein coding potential, illustrating a clear need for better annotations of protein coding genes.

DeepMNF: Deep Multimodal Neuroimaging Framework for Diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder

S. Qasim Abbas, Lianhua Chi, Yi-Ping Phoebe Chen

Summary: The growing prevalence of neurological disorders demands robust computer-aided diagnosis. A benchmark neuroimaging diagnostics is absent for Autism Spectrum Disorder. Existing CADs using multisite data face variabilities and heterogeneities. To resolve this problem, a Deep Multimodal Neuroimaging Framework (DeepMNF) is proposed that integrates cross-modality spatiotemporal information. It achieves superior validation performance and demonstrates the effectiveness of multimodal framework development.

Benchmarking of computational methods for predicting circRNA-disease associations

Wei Lan, Yi Dong, Hongyu Zhang, Chunling Li, Qingfeng Chen, Jin Liu, Jianxin Wang, Yi-Ping Phoebe Chen

Summary: Accumulating evidence shows the importance of circular RNA (circRNA) in human diseases. Computational methods have been proposed to identify circRNA-disease associations, but there is a lack of comprehensive comparisons and summaries of these methods. This paper categorizes existing methods into three groups and introduces baseline methods for each category. It compares 14 representative methods using 5 different datasets and evaluates their effectiveness in identifying circRNA-disease associations in common cancers. The study also discusses the observations about method robustness and future directions and challenges.

A blockchain-based application for genomic access and variant discovery using smart contracts and homomorphic encryption

Abukari Mohammed Yakubu, Yi Ping Phoebe Chen

Summary: Genomic data repositories are expanding rapidly, driven by the decrease in DNA sequencing costs. However, the current business model of direct-to-consumer genomic companies puts customers' privacy at risk and limits their control and access to their own genomic data. This paper proposes a system based on blockchain technology and homomorphic computation to address these issues, allowing genomic data owners to control their data and sell access to it, while enabling secure queries for genomic data users. The proposed scheme also includes optimization techniques to improve query response time and a penalty mechanism to discourage malicious behaviors. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed system.

Summary: This paper investigates the challenge of data quality in classification problems and proposes an instance selection method based on uncertainty region (ISUR) and a feature selection method called fuzzy joint mutual information feature selection based on uncertainty region (FJMIUR). Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of FJMIUR across multiple classification measures.

Transformed domain convolutional neural network for Alzheimer?s disease diagnosis using structural MRI

S. Qasim Abbas, Lianhua Chi, Yi-Ping Phoebe Chen

Summary: Structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) is a prevalent and potent imaging modality for the computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of neurological diseases like dementia. Recent advancements in deep learning, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have shown promise in diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) by learning the atrophy patterns in sMRIs. However, the current CNN-based approaches still need to improve their diagnostic performance. To address this issue, the proposed three-dimensional Jacobian domain convolutional neural network (JD-CNN) offers excellent classification performance without the need for landmark detection. The JD-CNN model is trained based on features transformed from the spatial domain to the Jacobian domain, and it surpasses previously reported state-of-the-art techniques in terms of classification performance.

Class activation attention transfer neural networks for MCI conversion prediction

Min Luo, Zhen He, Hui Cui, Yi-Ping Phoebe Chen, Phillip Ward

Summary: We propose a novel attention transfer method for accurately predicting the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Our method trains a 3D convolutional neural network to automatically learn regions of interest (ROI) from images and transfer attention maps instead of model weights. Our method outperformed traditional transfer learning and methods using expert knowledge to define ROI, and the attention map revealed Alzheimer's pathology.

SoK: Systematizing Attack Studies in Federated Learning - From Sparseness to Completeness

Geetanjli Sharma, M. A. P. Chamikara, Mohan Baruwal Chhetri, Yi-Ping Phoebe Chen

Summary: Federated Learning (FL) is a machine learning technique that allows multiple parties to train a model using their own private datasets. However, FL is vulnerable to adversarial attacks due to its decentralized nature. To address the lack of comprehensive comparison and evaluation of FL attack studies, we propose a causal model that captures the impact of different factors on the success of an attack and validate it through experimental evaluation.
