报告摘要:Existing tools for cell abundance quantification in bulk omics data either underestimate the between-subject heterogeneity of reference panel or rarely incorporate the multimodalities of molecules. Here, we employ the support vector machine and the linear mixed effect model with Restricted Maximum Likelihood or EM algorithm to recover individualized reference panel, improving the quantified cellular composition and cell-type-specific statistical inference. On the other hand, for tissue-matched transcriptome-proteome data, we integrate the bulk multi-omics profiles by assuming cell counts fractions shared across molecular modalities and estimating the high-dimensional parameters with Joint Nonnegative Matrix Factorization and Projected Gradient Descent. We rigorously benchmarked the performance of our methods and competing methods via extensive simulation studies and applications to different diseases, with implementation in Bioconductor packages ISELT and MICSQTL.
