Machine learning compensates fold-change method and highlights oxidative phosphorylation in the brain transcriptome of Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder causing 70% of dementia cases. However, the mechanism of disease development is still elusive. Despite the availability of a wide range of biological data, a comprehensive understanding of AD's mechanism from machine learning (ML...
