• Abstract: Investigation of age-related genes is of great importance for multiple purposes, for instance, improving our understanding of the mechanism of ageing, increasing life expectancy, age prediction, and other healthcare applications. In his work, starting with a set of 27,142 genes, we develop an information-theoretic framework for identifying genes that are associated with aging by applying unsupervised and semi-supervised learning techniques on human dermal fibroblast gene expression data. First, we use unsupervised learning and apply information-theoretic measures to identify key features for effective representation of gene expression values in the transcriptome data. Using the identified features, we perform clustering on the data. Finally, we apply semi-supervised learning on the clusters using different distance measures to identify novel genes that are potentially associated with aging. Performance assessment for both unsupervised and semi-supervised methods show the effectiveness of the framework.

  Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of blindness in older adults. Despite advances in understanding AMD, the molecular factors driving the severity of subretinal scarring (fibrosis) remain elusive. This study introduces a machine learning-based framework to predict key genes that are strongly correlated with lesion severity.
