A Low-Rank Representation Method Regularized by Dual-Hypergraph Laplacian for Selecting Differentially Expressed...

Differentially expressed genes selection becomes a hotspot and difficulty in recent molecular biology. Low-rank representation (LRR) uniting graph Laplacian regularization has gained good achievement in the above field. However, the co-expression information of data cannot be captured well by graph regularization. Therefore, a novel low-rank representation method regularized by dual-hypergraph Laplacian is proposed to reveal the intrinsic geometrical structures hidden in the samples and genes direction simultaneously, which is called dual-hypergraph Laplacian regularized LRR (DHLRR). Finally, a low-rank matrix and a sparse perturbation matrix can be recovered from genomic data by DHLRR. Based on the sparsity of differentially expressed genes, the sparse disturbance matrix can be applied to extracting differentially expressed genes. In our experiments, two gene analysis tools are used to discuss the experimental results. The results on two real genomic data and an integrated dataset prove that DHLRR is efficient and effective in finding differentially expressed genes.
