INTEGRATIVE TRANSCRIPTOMIC, PROTEOMIC, AND MACHINE LEARNING APPROACH TO IDENTIFYING FEATURE GENES OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION USING ATRIAL SAMPLES FROM PATIENTS WITH VALVULAR HEART DISEASE

Integrative transcriptomic, proteomic, and machine learning approach to identifying feature genes of atrial fibrillation using atrial samples from patients with valvular heart disease

Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia with poorly understood mechanisms.We aimed to investigate the biological mechanism of AF and to discover feature genes by analyzing multi-omics data and by applying a machine learning approach.Methods At the transcriptomic level, four microarray datasets (GSE41177, GSE79768,

Natural variation in life history and aging phenotypes is associated with mitochondrial DNA deletion frequency in Caenorhabditis briggsae

Abstract Background Mutations that impair mitochondrial functioning are associated with a variety of metabolic and age-related disorders.A barrier to rigorous tests of the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in aging processes has been the lack of model systems with relevant, naturally occurring mitochondrial genetic variation.Toward the goal of deve
