304 results about "Oncogene" patented technology

An oncogene is a gene that has the potential to cause cancer. In tumor cells, these genes are often mutated, or expressed at high levels. Most normal cells will undergo a programmed form of rapid cell death (apoptosis) when critical functions are altered and malfunctioning. Activated oncogenes can cause those cells designated for apoptosis to survive and proliferate instead. Most oncogenes began as proto-oncogenes, normal genes involved in cell growth and proliferation or inhibition of apoptosis. If normal genes promoting cellular growth, through mutation, are up-regulated (gain-of-function mutation), they will predispose the cell to cancer and are thus termed oncogenes. Usually multiple oncogenes, along with mutated apoptotic or tumor suppressor genes will all act in concert to cause cancer. Since the 1970s, dozens of oncogenes have been identified in human cancer. Many cancer drugs target the proteins encoded by oncogenes.

Oncogene prediction method based on graph variation self-coding

The invention relates to an oncogene prediction method based on graph variation self-coding, and belongs to the field of bioinformatics. The method is based on a dual-path neural network framework: a main path processes an original network and features enhanced by a variational auto-encoder (VAE) by using a graph attention network (GAT) so as to capture a complex relationship between nodes; the auxiliary path generates an auxiliary network and features containing global information through an APPNP algorithm, and the auxiliary network and features are aggregated through GraphSAGE to retain structural information. The model introduces jump connection and residual connection to relieve gradient disappearance and enhance feature complementarity. And finally, integrating dual-path information output prediction through a linear layer. The method is verified on a plurality of biological network data sets, the prediction accuracy, robustness and hidden relation recognition capability are remarkably improved, and a reliable tool is provided for cancer research.
