Probing omics data via harmonic persistent homology
Identifying molecular signatures from complex disease patients with underlying symptomatic similarities is a significant challenge in the analysis of high dimensional multi-omics data. Topological data analysis (TDA) provides a way of extracting such information from the geometric structure of the data and identifying multiway higher-order relationships. Here, we propose an application of Harmonic persistent homology, which overcomes the limitations of ambiguous assignment of the topological information to the original elements in a representative topological cycle from the data. When applied to multi-omics data, this leads to the discovery of hidden patterns highlighting the relationships between different omic profiles, while allowing for common tasks in multi-omics analyses, such as disease subtyping, and most importantly biomarker identification for similar latent biological pathways that are associated with complex diseases. Our experiments on multiple cancer data show that harmonic persistent homology effectively dissects multi-omics data to identify biomarkers by detecting representative cycles predictive of disease subtypes.

Confidence sets for persistence diagrams
Persistent homology is a method for probing topological properties of point clouds and functions. The method involves tracking the birth and death of topological features (2000) as one varies a tuning parameter. Features…
Analyzing Brain Tumor Connectomics using Graphs and Persistent Homology
Recent advances in molecular and genetic research have identified a diverse range of brain tumor sub-types, shedding light on differences in their molecular mechanisms, heterogeneity, and origins. The present study perfo…

Why do some macroscopic structures remain identifiable even though their microscopic constituents continually change? Vortices persist while fluid parcels turn over, neural memories persist while spikes and synapses fluc…
Persistent Topology of Syntax
We study the persistent homology of the data set of syntactic parameters of the world languages. We show that, while homology generators behave erratically over the whole data set, non-trivial persistent homology appears…

Classical persistent homology is a powerful mathematical tool for shape comparison. Unfortunately, it is not tailored to study the action of transformation groups that are different from the group Homeo(X) of all self-ho…
