Abstract
Experimental time courses often reveal a nonlinear behaviour. Analysing these nonlinearities is even more challenging when the observed phenomenon is cyclic or oscillatory. This means, in general, that the data describe a circular trajectory which is caused by periodic gene regulation.
Nonlinear PCA (NLPCA) is used to approximate this trajectory by a curve referred to as nonlinear component. Which, in order to analyse cyclic phenomena, must be a closed curve hence a circular component. Here, a neural network with circular units is used to generate circular components.
This circular PCA is applied to gene expression data of a time course of the intraerythrocytic developmental cycle (IDC) of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. As a result, circular PCA provides a model which describes continuously the transcriptional variation throughout the IDC. Such a computational model can then be used to comprehensively analyse the molecular behaviour over time including the identification of relevant genes at any chosen time point.
