| Abstract | Biomarker discovery aims to find biomarkers involved in biological mechanisms of a disease under study that can be further utilized for diagnosis, prognosis, drug development, etc. Although current high throughput technologies provide a deluge of data per point, research is usually constrained to small samples, impeding reliable biomarker discovery. Given the ongoing research on biomarker discovery during the past decades there exists an incredibly useful, but still limited, prior knowledge on cancer biology, such as small gene sets already known to be involved in cancer. This information, if properly integrated with feature selection, could potentially help to detect new biomarkers. However, most current methods used for biomarker discovery cannot easily be extended to account for such prior knowledge. Recent work proposes a hierarchical Bayesian framework for feature selection which places priors on both the identity of all features and identity-conditioned feature distribution. Various models are obtained based on this framework, including dependent good dependent bad (DGDB) model. An approximate solution of DGDB has been used with a set selection heuristic to successfully find genes involved in colon cancer and multiple sclerosis. While the approximate solution only relies on training data, we propose a new algorithm that takes advantage of previously known biomarkers to find additional biomarkers, hereafter called Informed Approximate 3MNC-DGDB (IA-3MNC). In three synthetic simulations we illustrate (a) IA-3MNC outperforms many popular feature selection algorithms, and (b) prior knowledge helps to correctly detect additional biomarkers, particularly under small samples. We apply IA-3MNC to colon cancer and breast cancer datasets deposited on gene expression omnibus with accession numbers GSE1456 and GSE41850, respectively. Studying top 20 selected genes of IA-3MNC and top 10 enriched pathways we find many of highly ranked genes and pathways are suggested to be involved in cancer. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
