Software
- To achieve our lab’s central goal and identify mechanisms of aberrant gene expression in cancer, we also innovated software and algorithms to dissect cellular and molecular heterogeneity. These tools have enabled several basic and translational studies in cancer, as well as diabetes and Alzheimer.
AnnoSpat

HeatITup
Internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations are diverse and complex genetic alterations, commonly observed in many cancers including 60% of acute myeloid leukemia. HEAT diffusion for Internal Tandem dUPlication (HeatITup) provides an efficient and robust algorithm for identification, classification, and visualization of ITD mutations.
Classes of ITD Predict Outcomes in AML Patients Treated With FLT3 Inhibitors.

InteGREAT
Transcriptomic and proteomic measurements provide complementary but sometimes irreconcilable information about tumors. To accurately relate heterogenous high-throughput data sources, we developed inteGREAT, a graph-based algorithm. inteGREAT provides a robust and scalable solution for differential integration of transcriptomic and proteomic measurements. Application of inteGREAT to breast cancer data identified novel prognostic biomarkers associated with different disease subtypes.
Differential Integration of Transcriptome and Proteome Identifies Pan-cancer Prognostic Biomarkers.
