Integrated Differential Analysis of Multi Omics Data using a
Joint Mixture Model
Description
A joint mixture model has been developed by Majumdar et al. (2025) that integrates information from gene expression data and methylation data at the modelling stage to capture their inherent dependency structure, enabling simultaneous identification of differentially methylated cytosine-guanine dinucleotide (CpG) sites and differentially expressed genes. The model leverages a joint likelihood function that accounts for the nested structure in the data, with parameter estimation performed using an expectation-maximisation algorithm.
