Abstract
Simultaneous mutations in synthetic lethality genes can lead to cancer cell apoptosis and it can be utilized in cancer target therapy. However, high-throughput wet laboratory screening methods are expensive and time-consuming. Computational methods are therefore a good complement to the prediction of synthetic lethality. Recently, graph embedding-based methods have been developed to predict synthetic lethal gene pairs. Here, we proposed a novel synthetic lethality prediction method based on bidirectional attention learning. Through aggregating biological multi-omics data, we can construct the node embedding representation and the graph link representation respectively. The correlation between gene pairs with these two feature representations is calculated using a multilayer perceptron as a decoder. The correlation with high gene pair score is predicted as potential synthetic lethal pair.
