Multi-omics data analysis has the potential to discover hidden molecular interactions, revealing potential regulatory and/or signal transduction pathways for cellular processes of interest when studying life and disease systems. One of critical challenges when dealing with real-world multi-omics data is that they may manifest heterogeneous structures and data quality as often existing data may be collected from different subjects under different conditions for each type of omics data. We propose a novel deep Bayesian generative model to efficiently infer a multi-partite graph encoding molecular interactions across such heterogeneous views, using a fused Gromov-Wasserstein (FGW) regularization between latent representations of corresponding views for integrative analysis. With such an optimal transport regularization in the deep Bayesian generative model, it not only allows incorporating view-specific side information, either with graph-structured or unstructured data in different views, but also increases the model flexibility with the distribution-based regularization. This allows efficient alignment of heterogeneous latent variable distributions to derive reliable interaction predictions compared to the existing point-based graph embedding methods. Our experiments on several real-world datasets demonstrate enhanced performance of MoReL in inferring meaningful interactions compared to existing baselines.

BayReL: Bayesian Relational Learning for Multi-omics Data Integration
High-throughput molecular profiling technologies have produced high-dimensional multi-omics data, enabling systematic understanding of living systems at the genome scale. Studying molecular interactions across different data types helps reveal signal transduction mechanisms across different classes of molecules. In this paper, we develop a novel Bayesian representation learning method that infers the relational interactions across multi-omics data types. Our method, Bayesian Relational Learning (BayReL) for multi-omics data integration, takes advantage of a priori known relationships among the same class of molecules, modeled as a graph at each corresponding view, to learn view-specific latent variables as well as a multi-partite graph that encodes the interactions across views. Our experiments on several real-world datasets demonstrate enhanced performance of BayReL in inferring meaningful interactions compared to existing baselines.

Elucidation of complex molecular networks requires integrative analysis of molecular features and changes at different levels of information flow and regulation. Accordingly, high throughput functional genomics tools such as transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics have emerged to provide system-wide investigations. Unfortunately, analysis of different types of biomolecules requires specific sample extraction procedures in combination with specific analytical instrumentation. The most efficient extraction protocols often only cover a restricted type of biomolecules due to their different physicochemical properties. Therefore, several sets/aliquots of samples are needed for extracting different molecules. Here we adapted a biphasic fractionation method to extract proteins, metabolites, and lipids from the same sample (3-in-1) for liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) multi-omics. To demonstrate utility of the improved method, we used bacteria-primed Arabidopsis leaves to generate multi-omics datasets from the same sample. In total, we were able to analyze 1849 proteins, 1967 metabolites, and 424 lipid species in single samples. The molecules cover a wide range of biological and molecular processes, and allow quantitative analyses of different molecules and pathways. Our results have shown the clear advantages of the multi-omics method, including sample conservation, high reproducibility, and tight correlation between different types of biomolecules.more » « less

Accurate cancer subtype prediction is crucial for personalized medicine. Integrating multi-omics data represents a viable approach to comprehending the intricate pathophysiology of complex diseases like cancer. Conventional machine learning techniques are not ideal for analyzing the complex interrelationships among different categories of omics data. Numerous models have been suggested using graph-based learning to uncover veiled representations and network formations unique to distinct types of omics data to heighten predictions regarding cancers and characterize patients’ profiles, amongst other applications aimed at improving disease management in medical research. The existing graph-based state-of-the-art multi-omics integration approaches for cancer subtype prediction, MOGONET, and SUPREME, use a graph convolutional network (GCN), which fails to consider the level of importance of neighboring nodes on a particular node. To address this gap, we hypothesize that paying attention to each neighbor or providing appropriate weights to neighbors based on their importance might improve the cancer subtype prediction. The natural choice to determine the importance of each neighbor of a node in a graph is to explore the graph attention network (GAT). Here, we propose MOGAT, a novel multi-omics integration approach, leveraging GAT models that incorporate graph-based learning with an attention mechanism. MOGAT utilizes a multi-head attention mechanism to extract appropriate information for a specific sample by assigning unique attention coefficients to neighboring samples. Based on our knowledge, our group is the first to explore GAT in multi-omics integration for cancer subtype prediction. To evaluate the performance of MOGAT in predicting cancer subtypes, we explored two sets of breast cancer data from TCGA and METABRIC. Our proposed approach, MOGAT, outperforms MOGONET by 32% to 46% and SUPREME by 2% to 16% in cancer subtype prediction in different scenarios, supporting our hypothesis. Our results also showed that GAT embeddings provide a better prognosis in differentiating the high-risk group from the low-risk group than raw features.more » « less

Abstract Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, posing a growing public health challenge. Traditional machine learning models for AD prediction have relied on single omics data or phenotypic assessments, limiting their ability to capture the disease’s molecular complexity and resulting in poor performance. Recent advances in high-throughput multi-omics have provided deeper biological insights. However, due to the scarcity of paired omics datasets, existing multi-omics AD prediction models rely on unpaired omics data, where different omics profiles are combined without being derived from the same biological sample, leading to biologically less meaningful pairings and causing less accurate predictions. To address these issues, we propose UnCOT-AD, a novel deep learning framework for Unpaired Cross-Omics Translation enabling effective multi-omics integration for AD prediction. Our method introduces the first-ever cross-omics translation model trained on unpaired omics datasets, using two coupled Variational Autoencoders and a novel cycle consistency mechanism to ensure accurate bidirectional translation between omics types. We integrate adversarial training to ensure that the generated omics profiles are biologically realistic. Moreover, we employ contrastive learning to capture the disease specific patterns in latent space to make the cross-omics translation more accurate and biologically relevant. We rigorously validate UnCOT-AD on both cross-omics translation and AD prediction tasks. Results show that UnCOT-AD empowers multi-omics based AD prediction by combining real omics profiles with corresponding omics profiles generated by our cross-omics translation module and achieves state-of-the-art performance in accuracy and robustness.
