Cancer typically arises from failures in cell cycle regulation, leading to uncontrolled cell division and tumour formation. This study focuses on genes directly involved in the cell cycle and their interactions with nine key cell processes across different phases (G0, G1, S, G2, M), such as apoptosis, DNA replication, and chromosome segregation. By simulating gene mutations and analysing their impact on these processes, we used machine learning models, including Gradient Boosting Machines (GBM), Random Forests, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Neural Networks, and Logistic Regression, to predict mutation impact levels. Our findings demonstrate that GBM and Random Forests are highly effective for this purpose, achieving high accuracy and robustness, even with incomplete data. This research provides a valuable framework for understanding the molecular mechanisms of cancer progression and suggests potential therapeutic interventions based on gene mutation effects.

摘要

Cancer typically arises from failures in cell cycle regulation, leading to uncontrolled cell division and tumour formation. This study focuses on genes directly involved in the cell cycle and their interactions with nine key cell processes across different phases (G0, G1, S, G2, M), such as apoptosis, DNA replication, and chromosome segregation. By simulating gene mutations and analysing their impact on these processes, we used machine learning models, including Gradient Boosting Machines (GBM), Random Forests, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Neural Networks, and Logistic Regression, to predict mutation impact levels. Our findings demonstrate that GBM and Random Forests are highly effective for this purpose, achieving high accuracy and robustness, even with incomplete data. This research provides a valuable framework for understanding the molecular mechanisms of cancer progression and suggests potential therapeutic interventions based on gene mutation effects.
