IntroductionMeta-analysis is a powerful means for leveraging the hundreds of experiments being run worldwide into more statistically powerful analyses. This is also true for the analysis of omic data, including genome-wide DNA methylation. In particular, thousands of DNA methylation profiles generated using the Illumina 450k are stored in the publicly accessible Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository. Often, however, the intensity values produced by the BeadChip (raw data) are not deposited, therefore only pre-processed values -obtained after computational manipulation- are available. Pre-processing is possibly different among studies and may then affect meta-analysis by introducing non-biological sources of variability.Material and methodsTo systematically investigate the effect of pre-processing on meta-analysis, we analysed four different collections of DNA methylation samples (datasets), each composed of two subsets, for which raw data from controls (i.e. healthy subjects) and cases (i.e. patients) are available. We pre-processed the data from each dataset with nine among the most common pipelines found in literature. Moreover, we evaluated the performance of regRCPqn, a modification of the RCP algorithm that aims to improve data consistency. For each combination of pre-processing (9 × 9), we first evaluated the between-sample variability among control subjects and, then, we identified genomic positions that are differentially methylated between cases and controls (differential analysis).Results and conclusionThe pre-processing of DNA methylation data affects both the between-sample variability and the loci identified as differentially methylated, and the effects of pre-processing are strongly dataset-dependent. By contrast, application of our renormalization algorithm regRCPqn: (i) reduces variability and (ii) increases agreement between meta-analysed datasets, both critical components of data harmonization.

Summary

This metadata record provides details of the data supporting the claims of the related manuscript: “FOXA1 and adaptive response determinants to HER2 targeted therapy in TBCRC 036”.

The related study aimed to determine the global alterations in gene enhancers and transcriptional changes to identify factors involved in the adaptive response to HER2 inhibition. In parallel, it analysed the in vivo human adaptive molecular responses to HER2 targeting in a window-of-opportunity clinical trial using both RNAseq and a chemical proteomics method (MIB/MS) to assess the functional kinome.

Context

No matter how much you wash your hands, you are still susceptible to flu airborne viruses or cold viruses in close proximity to others who have a cold or flu. The flu vaccine is a treatment many folks get in hopes of not getting sick that cold/flu season. The flu vaccine is somewhat of a math cheat sheet for your body preparing for a math course final without having to know all of the formulas off hand, but only the ones that are on the exam. If you have a crooked teacher/TA that decided not to allow the cheat sheet to be a good representation of what the content of the final exam is, then you could assume that is how your body will be with a flu vaccine that doesn't have the strand(s) of flu your body is likely to encounter that flu season. I found this data set munging the GEO database sets of NCBI while searching for 'flu vaccines' and wanted some microarray gene expression data sets that I could also compare those values to other blood micro array samples from separate studies on females using EGCG for obesity, and males who do/don't have heart disease. This data can be blended with the other data sets here or in my github repositories at janjanjan2018.

This repository contains a collection of three datasets we use to introduce the Gene Mover Distance in [1] and described below. The three datasets are exported with a basic text-based format (.csv file) like other public datasets largely used in the Machine Learning community. The three datasets are extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database [2], where they appear, respectively, with access number GSE116256 (blood leukemia, [3]), GSE84133 (human pancreas, [4]), and GSE67835 (human brain, [5]). In GEO, the datasets are decomposed into several files, which contain much more details than those reported in this version. However, the proposed format should facilitate other researchers in using this data. The Gene Mover's Distance is a measure of similarity between a pair of cells based on their gene expression profiles obtained via single-cell RNA sequencing. The underlying idea of GMD is to interpret the gene expression array of a single cell as a discrete probability measure. The distance between two cells is hence computed by solving an Optimal Transport problem between the two corresponding discrete measures. The Gene Mover's Distance can be used, for instance, to solve two classification problems: the classification of cells according to their condition and according to their type. The repository contains a python script to check the basic statistics of the data. [1] Bellazzi, R., Codegoni, A., Gualandi, S., Nicora, G., Vercesi, E.

The effect of drugs, disease and other perturbations on mRNA levels are studied using gene expression microarrays or RNA-seq, with the goal of understanding molecular effects arising from the perturbation. Previous comparisons of reproducibility across laboratories have been limited in scale and focused on a single model. The use of model systems, such as cultured primary cells or cancer cell lines, assumes that mechanistic insights derived from the models would have been observed via in vivo studies. We examined the concordance of compound-induced transcriptional changes using data from several sources: rat liver and rat primary hepatocytes (RPH) from Drug Matrix (DM) and open TG-GATEs (TG), human primary hepatocytes (HPH) from TG, and mouse liver / HepG2 results from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository. Gene expression changes for treatments were normalized to controls and analyzed with three methods: 1) gene level for 9071 high expression genes in rat liver, 2) gene set analysis (GSA) using canonical pathways and gene ontology sets, 3) weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Co-expression networks performed better than genes or GSA when comparing treatment effects within rat liver and rat vs. mouse liver. Genes and modules performed similarly at Connectivity Map-style analyses, where success at identifying similar treatments among a collection of reference profiles is the goal. Comparisons between rat liver and RPH, and those between RPH, HPH and HepG2 cells reveal lower concordance for all methods. We observe that the baseline state of untreated cultured cells relative to untreated rat liver shows striking similarity with toxicant-exposed cells in vivo, indicating that gross systems level perturbation in the underlying networks in culture may contribute to the low concordance.

A publicly accessible database containing data on Affymetrix DNA microarray experiments, and Serial Analysis of Gene Expression, mostly on human and mouse stem cell samples and their derivatives to facilitate the discovery of gene functions relevant to stem cell control and differentiation. It has grown in both size and scope into a system with analysis tools that examine either the whole database at once, or slices of data, based on tissue type, cell type or gene of interest. There is currently more than 210 stem cell samples in 60 different experiments, with more being added regularly. The samples were originated by researchers of the Stem Cell Network and processed at the Core Facility of Stemcore Laboratories under the management of Ms. Pearl Campbell in the frame of the Stem Cell Genomics Project. Periodically, new expression data is submitted to the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository at the National Center for Biotechnological Information, in order to allow researchers to compare the data deposited in StemBase to a large amount of gene expression data sets. StemBase is different from GEO in both focus and scope. StemBase is concerned exclusively with stem cell related data. we are focused in Stem Cell research. We have made a significant effort to ensure the quality and consistency of the data included. This allows us to offer more specialized analysis tools related to Stem Cell data. GEO is intended as a large scale public archive. Deposition in a public repository such as GEO is required by most important scientific journals and it is advantageous for a further diffusion of the data since GEO is more broadly used than StemBase.

Based on open access data, 79 Mediterranean passenger ports are analyzed to compare their infrastructure, hinterland accessibility and offered multi-modality categories. Comparative Geo-spatial analysis is also carried out by using the data normalization method in order to visualize the ports' performance on maps. These data driven comprehensive analytical results can bring added value to sustainable development policy and planning initiatives in the Mediterranean Region. The analyzed elements can be also contributed to the development of passenger port performance indicators. The empirical research methods used for the Mediterranean passenger ports can be replicated for transport nodes of any region around the world to determine their relative performance on selected criteria for improvement and planning.

The Mediterranean passenger ports were initially categorized into cruise and ferry ports. The cruise ports were identified from the member list of the Association for the Mediterranean Cruise Ports (MedCruise), representing more than 80% of the cruise tourism activities per country. The identified cruise ports were mapped by selecting the corresponding geo-referenced ports from the map layer developed by the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). The United Nations (UN) Code for Trade and Transport Locations (LOCODE) was identified for each of the cruise ports as the common criteria to carry out the selection. The identified cruise ports not listed by the EMODnet were added to the geo-database by using under license the editing function of the ArcMap (version 10.1) geographic information system software. The ferry ports were identified from the open access industry initiative data provided by the Ferrylines, and were mapped in a similar way as the cruise ports (Figure 1).

Based on the available data from the identified cruise ports, a database (see Table A1–A3) was created for a Mediterranean scale analysis. The ferry ports were excluded due to the unavailability of relevant information on selected criteria (Table 2). However, the cruise ports serving as ferry passenger ports were identified in order to maximize the scope of the analysis. Port infrastructure and hinterland accessibility data were collected from the statistical reports published by the MedCruise, which are a compilation of data provided by its individual member port authorities and the cruise terminal operators. Other supplementary sources were the European Sea Ports Organization (ESPO) and the Global Ports Holding, a cruise terminal operator with an established presence in the Mediterranean. Additionally, open access data sources (e.g. the Google Maps and Trip Advisor) were consulted in order to identify the multi-modal transports and bridge the data gaps on hinterland accessibility by measuring the approximate distances.
