Using Computer Vision Deep Learning Models to Detect ecDNA

Using Computer Vision Deep Learning Models to Detect ecDNA

Abstract

ecDNA are small extrachromosomal DNA created by excess DNA damage of the linear genomes. These particles often replicate proto-oncogenes and thus are shown to result in and increase in drug-resistant cancers. The current method of studying ecDNA and the effects various therapies have on the ecDNA count and quality is by using FISH (Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization). This results in images which trained humans can discern ecDNA from. However, this process of detection requires strong human discretion and a variety of tools to segregate true ecDNA from noise, often taking up to an hour to identify all the positive locations in a single image. We hope to create a deep learning model which is able to train from the labels made by humans previously to learn a more robust object detection scheme, which can be generalized to all images. This would allow us to study drug effects on ecDNA in a fraction of the time while reducing systematic and random biases in enumerating ecDNA results from these trials.
