Batch correction evaluation framework using a-priori gene-gene associations: applied to the GTEx dataset.

Judith Somekh | Shai S Shen-Orr | Isaac S Kohane
BMC bioinformatics | 2019

Correcting a heterogeneous dataset that presents artefacts from several confounders is often an essential bioinformatics task. Attempting to remove these batch effects will result in some biologically meaningful signals being lost. Thus, a central challenge is assessing if the removal of unwanted technical variation harms the biological signal that is of interest to the researcher.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


Biological General Repository for Interaction Datasets (BioGRID) (tool)

RRID:SCR_007393

Curated protein-protein and genetic interaction repository of raw protein and genetic interactions from major model organism species, with data compiled through comprehensive curation efforts.

PEER (tool)

RRID:SCR_009326

Software collection of Bayesian approaches to infer hidden determinants and their effects from gene expression profiles using factor analysis methods. Applications of PEER have * detected batch effects and experimental confounders * increased the number of expression QTL findings by threefold * allowed inference of intermediate cellular traits, such as transcription factor or pathway activations This project offers an efficient and versatile C++ implementation of the underlying algorithms with user-friendly interfaces to R and python.
