    Abstract An accurate quantification of HLA class I gene expression is important in understanding the interplay with the tumor microenvironment of antitumor cytotoxic T cell activities. Because HLA-I sequences are highly variable, standard RNAseq and mass spectrometry-based quantification workflows using common genome and protein sequence references do not provide HLA-I allele specific quantifications. Here, we used personalized HLA-I nucleotide and protein reference sequences based on the subjects' HLA-I genotypes and surveyed tumor and adjacent normal samples from patients across nine cancer types. Mass spectrometry using data dependent acquisition data was validated to be sufficient to estimate HLA-A protein expression at the allele level. We found that HLA-I proteins were present in significantly higher levels in tumors compared to adjacent normal tissues from 41 to 63% of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma, and clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients, and this was driven by increased levels of HLA-I gene transcripts. Most immune cell types are universally enriched in HLA-I high tumors, while endothelial and neuronal cells showed divergent relationships with HLA-I. Pathway analysis revealed that tumor senescence and autophagy activity influence the level of HLA-I proteins in glioblastoma. Genes correlated to HLA-I protein expression are mostly the ones directly involved in HLA-I function in immune response and cell death, while glycosylation genes are exclusively co-expressed with HLA-I at the protein level.

    Abstract Motivation: LINE-1 elements are retrotransposons that are capable of copying their sequence to new genomic loci. LINE-1 derepression is associated with a number of disease states, and has the potential to cause significant cellular damage. Because LINE-1 elements are repetitive, it is difficult to quantify LINE-1 RNA at specific loci and to separate transcripts with protein coding capability from other sources of LINE-1 RNA.
    Results: We provide a tool, L1EM that uses the expectation maximization algorithm to quantify LINE-1 RNA at each genomic locus, separating transcripts that are capable of generating retrotransposition from those that are not. We show the accuracy of L1EM on simulated data and against long read sequencing from HEK cells.
    Availability and implementation: L1EM is written in python. The source code along with the necessary annotations are available at https://github.com/FenyoLab/L1EM and distributed under GPLv3.

    Abstract Background: In recent years, researchers have made significant strides in understanding the heterogeneity of breast cancer and its various subtypes. However, the wealth of genomic and proteomic data available today necessitates efficient frameworks, instruments, and computational tools for meaningful analysis. Despite its success as a prognostic tool, the PAM50 gene signature's reliance on many genes presents challenges in terms of cost and complexity. Consequently, there is a need for more efficient methods to classify breast cancer subtypes using a reduced gene set accurately.
    Results: This study explores the potential of achieving precise breast cancer subtype categorization using a reduced gene set derived from the PAM50 gene signature. By employing a "Few-Shot Genes Selection" method, we randomly select smaller subsets from PAM50 and evaluate their performance using metrics and a linear model, specifically the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. In addition, we aim to assess whether a more compact gene set can maintain performance while simplifying the classification process. Our findings demonstrate that certain reduced gene subsets can perform comparable or superior to the full PAM50 gene signature.
    Conclusions: The identified gene subsets, with 36 genes, have the potential to contribute to the development of more cost-effective and streamlined diagnostic tools in breast cancer research and clinical settings.

    Abstract Background: Postpartum hemorrhage remains one of the largest causes of maternal morbidity and mortality in the United States.
    Objective: The aim of this paper is to use machine learning techniques to identify patients at risk for postpartum hemorrhage at obstetric delivery.
    Methods: Women aged 18 to 55 years delivering at a major academic center from July 2013 to October 2018 were included for analysis (N=30,867). A total of 497 variables were collected from the electronic medical record including the following: demographic information; obstetric, medical, surgical, and family history; vital signs; laboratory results; labor medication exposures; and delivery outcomes. Postpartum hemorrhage was defined as a blood loss of ≥1000 mL at the time of delivery, regardless of delivery method, with 2179 (7.1%) positive cases observed. Supervised learning with regression-, tree-, and kernel-based machine learning methods was used to create classification models based upon training (21,606/30,867, 70%) and validation (4630/30,867, 15%) cohorts. Models were tuned using feature selection algorithms and domain knowledge. An independent test cohort (4631/30,867, 15%) determined final performance by assessing for accuracy, area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC), and sensitivity for proper classification of postpartum hemorrhage. Separate models were created using all collected data versus models limited to data available prior to the second stage of labor or at the time of decision to proceed with cesarean delivery. Additional models examined patients by mode of delivery.
    Results: Gradient boosted decision trees achieved the best discrimination in the overall model. The model including all data mildly outperformed the second stage model (AUROC 0.979, 95% CI 0.971-0.986 vs AUROC 0.955, 95% CI 0.939-0.970). Optimal model accuracy was 98.1% with a sensitivity of 0.763 for positive prediction of postpartum hemorrhage. The second stage model achieved an accuracy of 98.0% with a sensitivity of 0.737. Other selected algorithms returned models that performed with decreased discrimination. Models stratified by mode of delivery achieved good to excellent discrimination but lacked the sensitivity necessary for clinical applicability.
    Conclusions: Machine learning methods can be used to identify women at risk for postpartum hemorrhage who may benefit from individualized preventative measures. Models limited to data available prior to delivery perform nearly as well as those with more complete data sets, supporting their potential utility in the clinical setting. Further work is necessary to create successful models based upon mode of delivery and to validate the findings of this study. An unbiased approach to hemorrhage risk prediction may be superior to human risk assessment and represents an area for future research.

    Abstract MED19, a component of the mediator complex and a co-regulator of the androgen receptor (AR), is pivotal in prostate cancer cell proliferation. MED19 has two isoforms: a full-length "canonical" and a shorter "alternative" variant. Specific antibodies were developed to investigate these isoforms. Both exhibit similar expression in normal prostate development and adult prostate tissue, but the canonical isoform is elevated in prostate adenocarcinomas. Overexpression of canonical MED19 in LNCaP cells promotes growth under conditions of androgen deprivation in vitro and in vivo, mirroring earlier findings with alternative MED19-overexpressing LNCaP cells. Interestingly, alternative MED19 cells displayed strong colony formation in clonogenic assays under conditions of androgen deprivation, while canonical MED19 cells did not, suggesting distinct functional roles. These isoforms also modulated gene expression differently. Canonical MED19 triggered genes related to extracellular matrix remodeling while suppressing those involved in androgen-inactivating glucuronidation. In contrast, alternative MED19 elevated genes tied to cell movement and reduced those associated with cell adhesion and differentiation. The ratio of MED19 isoform expression in prostate cancers shifts with the disease stage. Early-stage cancers exhibit higher canonical MED19 expression than alternative MED19, consistent with canonical MED19's ability to promote cell proliferation under androgen deprivation. Conversely, alternative MED19 levels were higher in later-stage metastatic prostate cancer than in canonical MED19, reflecting alternative MED19's capability to enhance cell migration and autonomous cell growth. Our findings suggest that MED19 isoforms play unique roles in prostate cancer progression and highlights MED19 as a potential therapeutic target for both early and late-stage prostate cancer.

    Abstract Purpose: Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) comprises 17% of the human genome. Retrotransposons may perturb gene integrity or alter gene expression by altering regulatory regions in the genome. The germline employs a number of mechanisms, including cytosine methylation, to repress retrotransposon transcription throughout most of life. Demethylation during germ cell and early embryo development de-represses retrotransposons. Intriguingly, de novo genetic variation appearing in sperm has been implicated in a number of disorders in offspring, including autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. We hypothesize that human sperm exhibit de novo retrotransposition and employ a new sequencing method, single cell transposon insertion profiling by sequencing (scTIPseq) to map them in small amounts of human sperm.
    Methods: Cross-sectional case-control study of sperm samples (n=10 men; ages 32-55 years old) from consenting men undergoing IVF at NYU Langone Fertility Center. scTIPseq identified novel LINE-1 insertions in individual sperm and TIPseqHunter, a custom bioinformatics pipeline, compared the architecture of sperm LINE-1 to known LINE-1 insertions from the European database of Human specific LINE-1 (L1Hs) retrotransposon insertions (euL1db).
    Results: scTIPseq identified 17 novel insertions in sperm. New insertions were mainly intergenic or intronic. Only one sample did not exhibit new insertions. The location or number of novel insertions did not differ by paternal age.
    Conclusion: This study for the first time reports novel LINE-1 insertions in human sperm, demonstrating the feasibility of scTIPseq, and identifies new contributors to genetic diversity in the human germ line.
