title: Using methylation data to improve transcription factor binding prediction

description: Modelling the regulatory mechanisms that determine cell fate, response to external perturbation, and disease state depends on measuring many factors, a task made more difficult by the plasticity of the epigenome. Scanning the genome for the sequence patterns defined by Position Weight Matrices (PWM) can be used to estimate transcription factor (TF) binding locations. However, this approach does not incorporate information regarding the epigenetic context necessary for TF binding. CpG methylation is an epigenetic mark influenced by environmental factors that is commonly assayed in human cohort studies. We developed a framework to score inferred TF binding locations using methylation data. We intersected motif locations identified using PWMs with methylation information captured in both whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and Illumina EPIC array data for six cell lines, scored motif locations based on these data, and compared with experimental data characterizing TF binding (ChIP-seq). We found that for most TFs, binding prediction improves using methylation-based scoring compared to standard PWM-scores. We also illustrate that our approach can be generalized to infer TF binding when methylation information is only proximally available, <i>i.e</i>. measured for nearby CpGs that do not directly overlap with a motif location. Overall, our approach provides a framework for inferring context-specific TF binding using methylation data. Importantly, the availability of DNA methylation data in existing patient populations provides an opportunity to use our approach to understand the impact of methylation on gene regulatory processes in the context of human disease.

title: Model-Based Smoothing with Integrated Wiener Processes and Overlapping Splines

description: In many applications that involve the inference of an unknown smooth function, the inference of its derivatives is also important. To make joint inferences of the function and its derivatives, a class of Gaussian processes called <i>p</i>th order Integrated Wiener’s Process (IWP), is considered. Methods for constructing a finite element (FEM) approximation of an IWP exist but only focus on the case <i>p</i> = 2 and do not allow appropriate inference for derivatives. In this article, we propose an alternative FEM approximation with overlapping splines (O-spline). The O-spline approximation applies for any order p∈Z+, and provides consistent and efficient inference for all derivatives up to order <i>p</i> – 1. It is shown both theoretically and empirically that the O-spline approximation converges to the IWP as the number of knots increases. We further provide a unified and interpretable way to define priors for the smoothing parameter based on the notion of predictive standard deviation, which is invariant to the order <i>p</i> and the knot placement. Finally, we demonstrate the practical use of the O-spline approximation through an analysis of COVID death rates where the inference of derivative has an important interpretation in terms of the course of the pandemic. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

title: Model-based Smoothing with Integrated Wiener Processes and Overlapping Splines

description: In many applications that involve the inference of an unknown smooth function, the inference of its derivatives is also important. To make joint inferences of the function and its derivatives, a class of Gaussian processes called pth order Integrated Wiener’s Process (IWP), is considered.
