M\(\vphantom{0}^2\)DGAT: Multi-view multi-scale dynamic graph attention network(GAT) based prediction of Parkinson’s disease(PD) progression using whole-blood RNA sequencing data
摘要
With emerging single-cell transcriptomics data, deep learning approaches have enabled the diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease(PD). Based on whole-blood RNA sequencing data, the graph neural network has predicted Parkinson’s disease(PD) progression trajectories by exploiting spatial and temporal views that were related with neurodegenerative disorders. The single-view learning scheme, which focuses on gene expression embedding, was still insufficient in analyzing complicated human brain diseases. As a type of spatial representation underlying transcriptomics data, gene graphs that are closely associated with disease states have been inferred to investigate regulatory mechanisms and molecular dynamics. For disease-specific gene graphs, global and local structures contribute to fine-grained spatial representations. With the dynamic graph attention network (DGAT) backbone, this study proposes a multi-view, multi-scale M
