INTRODUCTIONPre-genomic era
Cloning genes at the site of proviral integrationFunctional assaysPositional cloning
Post-genomic era
High-throughput technologiesWES and NGSDNA methylationGenomic hybrization Copy number alteration Gene expression profiling DNA methylation
Simultaneous study on a cohort of samplesUnderlying mechanismsPrognostic and predictive biomarkersTarget identification
Cancer genomics project & Databases TCGAICGC
Tools in clinicMammaPrintOncotype DXBreast cancer profiling test (HOXB13/IL17RB)
Breakdown of my study
1. Network-based identification of candidate cancer genes• Identification of functionally relevant genes in copy
number regions• Co-expression and transcriptional analysis
2. Identification of differentially expressed miRNAs and their target genes in the GBM network
3. Identification of prognostic miRNAs for progression-free survival prediction
4. Identification of prognostic protein coding transcripts? genes for progression-free survival prediction
5. Pathway-based and machine learning based feature selection (describe more completely)
Identification of differentially expressed miRNAs and their targets in the GBM network
INTRODUCTION
• Discuss the aims and objectives and the rationale of this section here
• State your hypothesis
Flowchart for miRNA analysis in GBM
Materials and Methods
• Add a slide that gives specific details of the method used to identify differentially expressed miRNAs (and WHY they were chosen)
• R modules• Underlying statistical tests• p-value cutoffs• fold-change cutoffs (if any)• Describe the samples – numbers, classes, etc• etc
Differentially expressed miRNAs between tumour and non-neoplastic brain samples
Is there any way to rank these and then list only the ‘best’?
Also, be careful to explain what the red text is highlighting
Convert the underxpressed fold change as follows: -1/fold-change
- that will make 0.1 = -10 fold change for example
…continues
Underexpressed miRNA-overexpressed gene network
Produce a better layout if possible – Also highlight any known cancer related miRNAs and genes
Very important: stress that the agreement between miRNA and mRNA expression direction illustrate that the experimental data (and conclusions) are trustworthy
Any known important genes thatyou can point out to the audience?
Overexpressed miRNA-underexpressed gene network
Highlight any known cancer related miRNAs and genes.
Also, are there any miRNAs that appear to be regulatory ‘hubs’ based on number of genes they interact with? If so, point them out.
Pathways enriched with miRNA target genes
Discussion
• What did you learn from this section?• Find anything important?• Eg. is there any disregulated miRNA that looks
like it plays dominant major role?• Can it be a drug target?• Is there any gene that can be a drug target?• Etc
Conclusions
• Biological take home message (e.g. miRNA-mRNA networks play a role in GBM… etc)
• Mention what you took from this chapter into the next chapters and just give a BRIEF verbal description of the predictive features you found (just to show again that this is just part of a bigger study)
