Abstract

Understanding tumour heterogeneity is fundamental for improving breast cancer prognosis and working towards precision medicine. In this thesis, we develop computational methods and a software tool to address the following research questions posed by breast cancer heterogeneity: 1) how to develop a breast cancer prognosis method with stable prediction performance in different independent breast cancer cohorts; 2) how to examine the roles of miRNAs and lncRNAs in characterising breast cancer outcomes and subtypes; 3) how to utilise single-cell data to identify molecular signatures related to intra-tumour heterogeneity to improve breast cancer prognosis. The experiments on real breast cancer datasets demonstrated that the computational methods presented in the thesis outperformed the existing methods and provided new biological knowledge.
