Abstract:
Integrating the diverse types of genome-wide data can provide us a deeper understanding of the biological process. Multi-omics data integration methods are needed to deal with the increasing information from various data layers. Based on the widely used method - Similarity Network Fusion(SNF), however, suffering the trivial parameters setting, we present Ls-SNF which employs the local scaling method to construct the affinity matrix. To demonstrate the effectiveness, we applied Ls-SNF to colon cancer and lung cancer subtyping. Compared with the similarity network fusion(SNF) and affinity network fusion (ANF), our approach can eliminate the scaling problem and needs less parameters while producing better clustering performance.
