"Single mosquito metatranscriptomics in California: globe-trotting straws from the haystack that turned out to be needles"
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.10.942854v1.abstract

Mosquitoes are a widely known disease vector with a complex ecology involving transmissible pathogens, endogenous microbiota, and human and animal blood meal sources. Unbiased metatranscriptomic sequencing of individual mosquitoes offers a straightforward and rapid way to characterize these dynamics. Here, we profile 148 diverse wild-caught mosquitoes collected in California, detecting sequences from eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and over 70 known and novel viral species. By sequencing numerous singleton mosquitoes we are able to associate sequenced genetic material to known viral genomes that would otherwise be assigned to biological "dark matter". Combined with previously published information we show that there has been an apparent recent intercontinental sweep of a quaranjavirus.

"Cost-effectiveness of Genomic Profiling in Patients with Metastatic Lung Adenocarcinoma"

Abstract: Tumor profiling identifies patients who are eligible for targeted anticancer therapies. Common tumor profiling approaches include targeted gene panel testing (TGPT), which tests for common mutations in select genes, and multigene panel sequencing (MGPS), which tests for a broad range of mutations in a comprehensive set of genes. The lifetime cost-effectiveness of MGPS and TGPT compared to no tumor profiling for Veterans with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma from the Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA) perspective will be discussed.

"How the host fights back: the evolutionary landscape of host-virus arms races"

Abstract: Viruses and their hosts are locked in evolutionary arms races, in which viruses mutate to evade host defenses and hosts mutate to counter viral escape mutants. However, the mutational landscapes that dictate how antiviral proteins participate in these arms races remain undefined. In particular, it is unclear how likely random mutations within critical virus-binding interfaces are to improve or ablate viral restriction. We define the first comprehensive mutational landscape for an antiviral protein, TRIM5α. TRIM5α has undergone rapid mutational evolution within a flexible loop that binds HIV-1, and mutations within this loop dramatically alter its ability to restrict HIV-1. We employ a deep mutational scanning strategy to evaluate the effect of all individual point mutations in this loop on HIV-1 restriction. Surprisingly, we find that half of all single mutations significantly improve the ability of human TRIM5α to restrict HIV-1. Similarly, rhesus macaque TRIM5α, a potent restrictor of HIV-1, tolerates half of all single mutations with no loss in restriction. This unexpected mutational resilience suggests that TRIM5α can sample a wide variety of mutations, with low cost and high potential for gain, to maximize the chances of success in its evolutionary arms race with lentiviruses.

"Exchangeability in biology: from populations to cells"

Abstract:

Exchangeability--the notion that no information is encoded in the ordering of data--is a pervasive phenomenon in biology: order does not matter for reads coming off a sequencer, for performing biological replicates, or for sampling individuals from a population. I will present a series of examples across biology where exchangeability can be leveraged to extract biological insight. I will mainly focus on three case studies.

1. An exact statistical test for detecting heterogeneity in binary datasets with applications to population genetics as well as single-cell omics data.
2. A neural network architecture that respects exchangeability by enforcing permutation equivariance.
3. Using exchangeable neural networks for imputing the results of unperformed epigenetic assays and disentangling cis- and trans-effects on gene expression.

This is joint work with Alan Aw, Sanjit Batra, Jeffrey Chan, Jonathan Fischer, Paul Jenkins, Sara Mathieson, Valerio Perrone, and Yun Song.

"Identifying and controlling for sources of heterogeneity in genome- wide association studies"

Abstract:

Microarray technology has been used to measure variation in gene expression for a variety of diseases, including many types of cancer. As this technology becomes cheaper and users more comfortable with analysis of array data there has been a change in the emphasis on small studies consisting of two to six arrays, to larger studies consisting of hundreds to even thousands of samples in a single experiment. Intuition tells us that larger studies are more likely to suffer from spuriously correlated data as the sheer volume of samples requires arrays to be grouped with respect to date of processing, manufactoring lot (or array batch), and even labelling reagent. These factors are examples of Expression Heterogeneity: a general class of factors that confound associations between gene
expression variation and the biological quantity of interest. Controlling for EH is the motivation for all commonly used normalization procedures, including the lowess-dye bias method, quantile normalization, and VSN. In this talk I'll explore expression variation associated with tumor status in three panels of prostate cancer studies. The effects of EH on each study are investigated, and a novel method is described that can account for bias introduced by certain types of EH. The method is applied to these data and shown to considerably increase the consistency across these studies when compared to the results obtained from other common analysis techniques. We also apply this method to other studies that extend its relevance to multiple generations of Affymetrix platform as well as two-color assays.
This work is of direct interest to people involved in the analysis or interpretation of genomic studies using microarray technology. It is probably also of interest to people using the new Solexa data as similar models should apply here as well.
