Abstract:
Multi-omic data can better characterize complex cellular signaling pathways from multiple views compared to individual omic data. However, integrative multi-omic data analysis to rank key disease biomarkers and infer core signaling pathways remains an open problem. In this study, our novel contributions are that we developed a novel graph AI model, mosGraphFlow, for analyzing multi-omic signaling graphs (mosGraphs), 2) analyzed multi-omic mosGraph datasets of AD, and 3) identified, visualized and evaluated a set of AD associated signaling biomarkers and network. The comparison results show that the proposed model not only achieves the best classification accuracy but also identifies important AD disease biomarkers and signaling interactions. Moreover, the signaling sources are highlighted at specific omic levels to facilitate the understanding of the pathogenesis of AD. The proposed model can also be applied and expanded for other studies using multi-omic data. Model code is accessible via GitHub: https://github.com/FuhaiLiAiLab/mosGraphFlow.
