This paper proposes a new method based on ontology embedding incorporating the semantic and structural features for ontology alignment. The method is used to align two widely used food ontologies and three Chinese food classification ontologies. Experimental results show that this method enhances the performance compared to other advanced alignment systems, demonstrating the importance of learning semantic representation and structural representation.
Ontology alignment is essential for data integration and interoperability across multiple applications across diverse disciplines. In recent decades, significant advancements have been made in the development of advanced methods and systems for ontology alignment. Empirical results have suggested that ontological semantics can be effectively employed to enhance the alignment process. Besides, structural information is crucial for ontology alignment as it reflects the relations among adjacent concepts in the ontology. Previous works are mainly based on external lexicon and predefined rules based on ontological structure. Recently, deep learning has imposed positive impacts on ontology alignment and obtained substantial improvement. This paper proposes a new method based on ontology embedding incorporating the semantic and structural features. It utilizes the distance between the embedding of two ontological concepts to be aligned as the criterion for alignment.The proposed method is used to align two widely used food ontologies and three Chinese food classification ontologies. The experimental results show that our method enhances the performance compared to several state-of-the-art alignment systems, demonstrating the importance of learning semantic representation and structural representation. Furthermore, the proposed method is evaluated on several different tracks of the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI), and experimental results show that our method outperforms other baselines in effectiveness.

ChromLoops: a comprehensive database for specific protein-mediated chromatin loops in diverse organisms

Qiangwei Zhou, Sheng Cheng, Shanshan Zheng, Zhenji Wang, Pengpeng Guan, Zhixian Zhu, Xingyu Huang, Cong Zhou, Guoliang Li

Summary: The study developed a comprehensive database called ChromLoops, which integrated 1030 ChIA-PET, HiChIP, and PLAC-Seq datasets from 13 species, and documented 1,491,416,813 high-quality chromatin loops. The database provided annotations for genes and regions overlapping with chromatin loop anchors, and included rich functional annotations. Additionally, it identified genes with high-frequency chromatin interactions in different species and cancer samples.

Improving Graph Neural Network Models in Link Prediction Task via A Policy-Based Training Method

Yigeng Shang, Zhigang Hao, Chao Yao, Guoliang Li

Summary: Graph neural network (GNN) is a widely used deep learning model for processing graph-structured data and has been applied to link prediction task. However, randomly sampling unobserved edges as negative samples has limitations. We propose a policy-based training method (PbTRM) to improve the quality of negative samples.

Multi-omics data reveals novel impacts of human papillomavirus integration on the epigenomic and transcriptomic signatures of cervical tumorigenesis

Summary: Integration of human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA into the human genome may progressively contribute to cervical carcinogenesis. We analyzed multiomics data from 50 patients with cervical cancer to explore how HPV integration affects gene expression by altering DNA methylation. High-frequency HPV-integrated genes, including five novel recurrent genes, were identified. HPV integrations occurring in exons were associated with altered gene expression in tumor tissues. Our study provides novel insights into HPV-induced cervical cancer at the biological and clinical level.

SGMFQP: An ontology-based Swine Gut Microbiota Federated Query Platform

Ying Wang, Qin Jiang, Yilin Geng, Yuren Hu, Yue Tang, Jixiang Li, Junmei Zhang, Wolfgang Mayer, Shanmei Liu, Hong-Yu Zhang, Xianghua Yan, Zaiwen Feng

Summary: Gut microbiota plays a crucial role in pig development and health, and is associated with differences in feed efficiency. A Swine Gut Microbiota Federated Query Platform (SGMFQP) is presented, which provides convenient and efficient query service about swine feeding and gut microbiota. The system is based on a Swine Gut Microbiota Ontology (SGMO) and utilizes a template-based query interface, a federated query engine, and a workflow orchestration mechanism to retrieve information from multiple data sources.

Haplotype mapping of H3K27me3-associated chromatin interactions defines topological regulation of gene silencing in rice

Weizhi Ouyang, Xiwen Zhang, Minrong Guo, Jing Wang, Xiaoting Wang, Runxin Gao, Xu Xiang, Shiping Luan, Feng Xing, Zhilin Cao, Meng Ma, Jiapei Yan, Guoliang Li, Xingwang Li

Summary: In this study, high-resolution 3D genome maps were constructed using long-read chromatin interaction analysis, and the H3K27me3-associated chromatin interactions in an elite rice hybrid, Shanyou 63, were characterized. It was found that many H3K27me3-marked regions may function as silencer-like regulatory elements and can come into proximity with distal target genes via forming chromatin loops in the nuclei's 3D space. Additionally, genetic variations were identified to alter allelic chromatin topology and modulate allelic gene imprinting in rice hybrids.

Summary: This article introduces a goal-oriented approach to managing the complexity of changing requirements in IT infrastructure. It presents the concepts of differential goals and integral goals, and formalizes them in both linear-time and branching-time settings. Additionally, the article illustrates the application of this approach in a Kubernetes setting, specifically in dealing with a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack.

3D organization of regulatory elements for transcriptional regulation in Arabidopsis

Li Deng, Qiangwei Zhou, Jie Zhou, Qing Zhang, Zhibo Jia, Guangfeng Zhu, Sheng Cheng, Lulu Cheng, Caijun Yin, Chao Yang, Jinxiong Shen, Junwei Nie, Jian-Kang Zhu, Guoliang Li, Lun Zhao

Summary: The fine scale genome organization of Arabidopsis was revealed through high-resolution chromatin interaction analysis, showing that distant active cis-regulatory elements are linked to target genes through long-range chromatin interactions with increased expression, while poised cis-regulatory elements are linked to target genes through long-range chromatin interactions with depressed expression. Transcription factor MYC2 plays a critical role in chromatin spatial organization, and MYC2 occupancy and MYC2-mediated chromatin interactions facilitate transcription within 3D chromatin architecture. Functionally related gene-defined chromatin connectivity networks indicated that genes involved in flowering-time control are compartmentalized into separate subdomains based on their spatial activity, linking chromatin conformation with coordinated gene expression.
