Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to global public health because it makes standard treatments ineffective and contributes to the spread of infections. It is important to understand AMR’s biological mechanisms for the development of new drugs and more rapid and accurate clinical diagnostics. The increasing availability of whole-genome SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) information, obtained from whole-genome sequence data, along with AMR profiles provides an opportunity to use feature selection in machine learning to find AMR-associated mutations. This work describes the use of a supervised feature selection approach using deep neural networks to detect AMR-associated genetic factors from whole-genome SNP data. Results The proposed method, DNP-AAP (deep neural pursuit – average activation potential), was tested on a Neisseria gonorrhoeae dataset with paired whole-genome sequence data and resistance profiles to five commonly used antibiotics including penicillin, tetracycline, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, and cefixime. The results show that DNP-AAP can effectively identify known AMR-associated genes in N. gonorrhoeae, and also provide a list of candidate genomic features (SNPs) that might lead to the discovery of novel AMR determinants. Logistic regression classifiers were built with the identified SNPs and the prediction AUCs (area under the curve) for penicillin, tetracycline, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, and cefixime were 0.974, 0.969, 0.949, 0.994, and 0.976, respectively. Conclusions DNP-AAP can effectively identify known AMR-associated genes in N. gonorrhoeae. It also provides a list of candidate genes and intergenic regions that might lead to novel AMR factor discovery. More generally, DNP-AAP can be applied to AMR analysis of any bacterial species with genomic variants and phenotype data. It can serve as a useful screening tool for microbiologists to generate genetic candidates for further lab experiments.

Dna Replication Timing

Abstract Motivation Genomic DNA replicates according to a reproducible spatiotemporal program, with some loci replicating early in S phase while others replicate late. Despite being a central cellular process, DNA replication timing studies have been limited in scale due to technical challenges. Results We present TIGER (Timing Inferred from Genome Replication), a computational approach for extracting DNA replication timing information from whole genome sequence data obtained from proliferating cell samples. The presence of replicating cells in a biological specimen leads to non-uniform representation of genomic DNA that depends on the timing of replication of different genomic loci. Replication dynamics can hence be observed in genome sequence data by analyzing DNA copy number along chromosomes while accounting for other sources of sequence coverage variation. TIGER is applicable to any species with a contiguous genome assembly and rivals the quality of experimental measurements of DNA replication timing. It provides a straightforward approach for measuring replication timing and can readily be applied at scale. Availability and Implementation TIGER is available at https://github.com/TheKorenLab/TIGER. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online

Abstract In this study, we detected genome wide footprints of selection in Hanwoo and Angus beef cattle using different allele frequency and haplotype-based methods based on imputed whole genome sequence data. Our dataset included 13,202 Angus and 10,437 Hanwoo animals with 10,057,633 and 13,241,550 imputed SNPs, respectively. A subset of data with 6,873,624 common SNPs between the two populations was used to estimate signatures of selection parameters, both within (runs of homozygosity and extended haplotype homozygosity) and between (allele fixation index, extended haplotype homozygosity) the breeds in order to infer evidence of selection. We observed that correlations between various measures of selection ranged between 0.01 to 0.42. Assuming these parameters were complementary to each other, we combined them into a composite selection signal to identify regions under selection in both beef breeds. The composite signal was based on the average of fractional ranks of individual selection measures for every SNP. We identified some selection signatures that were common between the breeds while others were independent. We also observed that more genomic regions were selected in Angus as compared to Hanwoo. Candidate genes within significant genomic regions may help explain mechanisms of adaptation, domestication history and loci for important traits in Angus and Hanwoo cattle. In the future, we will use the top SNPs under selection for genomic prediction of carcass traits in both breeds.
