Area of Science:

  • Epigenetics
  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • DNA methylation is a crucial epigenetic mechanism influencing gene expression during development and in diseases like cancer.
  • Accurate gene-centric DNA methylation levels are essential for downstream analyses, but require selecting representative probes from platforms like the Illumina HumanMethylation 450K array.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a feature selection algorithm for computing gene-centric DNA methylation levels from probe-level data.
  • To compare the performance of the developed algorithm against other established feature selection methods.

Main Methods:

  • A novel feature selection algorithm based on sequential forward selection (SFS) was developed, incorporating various classification methods.
  • The algorithm was compared to Support Vector Machines with Recursive Feature Elimination (SVM-RFE), Genetic Algorithms (GA), and ReliefF.
  • Performance was evaluated based on the predictive power of selected probes on mRNA expression levels.

Main Results:

  • The K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) classifier combined with SFS demonstrated superior performance in predicting gene expression compared to other tested algorithms.
  • The study identified specific genes whose transcriptional activity is highly sensitive to DNA methylation changes.
  • The developed algorithm accurately predicted the expression of these methylation-sensitive genes using only DNA methylation data.

Conclusions:

  • The SFS-KNN algorithm provides an effective method for selecting representative DNA methylation probes to predict gene expression.
  • DNA methylation-sensitive genes are significantly enriched in Gene Ontology terms related to biological process regulation.
  • This approach enhances the understanding of DNA methylation's role in gene regulation and disease.
