Abstract

In recent years, due to the high availability of omic data, data-driven biology has greatly expanded. However, the analysis of different data sources is still an open challenge. A few multi-omics approaches have been proposed in the literature, none of which takes into consideration the intrinsic topology of each omic, though. In this work, an unsupervised learning method based on a deep neural network is proposed. Foreach omic, a separate network is trained, whose outputs are fused into a single graph; at this purpose, an innovative loss function has been designed to better represent the data cluster manifolds. The graph adjacency matrix is exploited to determine similarities among samples. With this approach, omics having a different number of features are merged into a unique representation. Quantitative and qualitative analyses show that the proposed method has comparable results to the state of the art. The method has great intrinsic flexibility as it can be customized according to the complexity of the tasks and it has a lot of room for future improvements compared to more fine-tuned methods, opening the way for future research.
