Gene clustering and sample clustering are commonly used to find patterns in gene expression datasets. However, genes may cluster differently in heterogeneous samples (e.g. different tissues or disease states), whilst traditional methods assume that clusters are consistent across samples. Biclustering algorithms aim to solve this issue by performing sample clustering and gene clustering simultaneously. Existing reviews of biclustering algorithms have yet to include a number of more recent algorithms and have based comparisons on simplistic simulated datasets without specific evaluation of biclusters in real datasets, using less robust metrics. We compared four classes of sparse biclustering algorithms on a range of simulated and real datasets. All algorithms generally struggled on simulated datasets with a large number of genes or implanted biclusters. We found that Bayesian algorithms with strict sparsity constraints had high accuracy on the simulated datasets and did not require any post-processing, but 10.5281/zenodo.4581206. Code to run the analysis is available at https//github.com/nichollskc/biclust_comp, including wrappers for each algorithm, implementations of evaluation metrics, and code to simulate datasets and perform pre- and post-processing.

Approaches to prevent GVHD to date focus on immune-suppression. Here we identify interferon-lambda (IFNl, IL-28/IL-29) as a key protector of GI GVHD immunopathology, notably within the intestinal stem cell (ISC) compartment. Ifnlr1-/- mice displayed exaggerated GI GVHD and mortality independent of Paneth cells and alterations to microbiome. Ifnlr1-/- intestinal organoid growth was significantly impaired and targeted Ifnlr1 deficiency demonstrated effects intrinsic to recipient Lgr5+ ISC and NK cells. PEGylated IL-29 (PEG-rIL-29) treatment of naïve mice enhanced Lgr5+ ISC numbers and organoid growth independent of both IL-22 and type-1 IFN and modulated proliferative and apoptosis gene sets in Lgr5+ ISC. PEG-rIL-29 treatment improved survival, reduced GVHD severity, and enhanced epithelial proliferation and ISC-derived organoid growth after BMT, The preservation of ISC numbers in response to PEG-rIL-29 after BMT occurred both in the presence and absence of IFNl,-signaling in recipient NK cells. IFNl is therefore an attractive and rapidly testable approach to prevent ISC loss and immunopathology during GVHD. Accurate and efficient prediction of molecular properties is one of the fundamental issues in drug design and discovery pipelines. Traditional feature engineering-based approaches require extensive expertise in the feature design and selection process. With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, data-driven methods exhibit unparalleled advantages over the feature engineering-based methods in various domains. Nevertheless, when applied to molecular property prediction, AI models usually suffer from the scarcity of labeled data and show poor generalization ability. In this study, we proposed molecular graph BERT (MG-BERT), which integrates the local message passing mechanism of graph neural networks (GNNs) into the powerful BERT model to facilitate learning from molecular graphs. Furthermore, an effective self-supervised learning strategy named masked atoms prediction was proposed to pretrain the MG-BERT model on a large amount of unlabeled data to mine context information in moleculefective self-supervised learning strategy named masked atoms prediction was proposed to pretrain the MG-BERT model on a large amount of unlabeled data to mine context information in molecu
