ExtenDRA — Extended Longevity Discovery & Response Architecture

For Identifying Causal Molecular Determinants of Exceptional Longevity

What This Is

ExtenDRA is a causal deep learning framework that models the central dogma of biology — DNA → RNA → Protein → Phenotype — directly in its architecture. Unlike black-box ML models that generate genotype-phenotype correlations, ExtenDRA explicitly represents the biological information flow across molecular layers.

Key innovation: Uses SELU + AlphaDropout self-normalizing networks (SeNMo architecture, arxiv:2405.08226) instead of transformers — multi-omics data has 15K+ features with only hundreds of samples. Transformers need more data. SeNMo validated at C-index 0.758 on TCGA pan-cancer.

Delivered Results

✅ Test Case 1: Pan-Cancer Survival Prediction

Top causal genes and their aging relevance:

✅ Test Case 2: Drug Perturbation Screening

Screened 377 drugs from Tahoe-100M (100M+ drug-cell perturbation pairs) using multi-criteria longevity scoring:

Finding: mTOR inhibitors (rapalogs) dominate the top of the ranking — consistent with decades of longevity research showing mTOR inhibition extends lifespan across species.

⏳ Test Case 3: Single-Cell Aging Atlas (Running)

• Dataset: Tabula Muris Senis — 490,778 cells from aging mice
• Ages: 1-30 months across multiple tissues
• Model: AgingClock — SNN with SELU predicting biological age from scRNA-seq
• Job: https://huggingface.co/jobs/vedatonuryilmaz/69ff8385317220dbbd1a7286

📋 Test Case 4: Cross-Species Transfer (Designed)

• PATH-AE: Projection-Aligned Transfer Heterogeneous Autoencoder
• Mouse → Human ortholog mapping via BioMart
• Architecture designed, awaiting Test Case 3 results

Architecture

ChromatinState [WGBS + ATAC-seq] (designed, awaiting data)
       ↓
DNA [Methylation + CNV] ───┐
                            ├──→ CentralDogmaFusion
RNA [mRNA + miRNA] ────────┘         ↓
                                 Phenotype
                              (survival/age)

Design decisions:

• NOT transformers — multi-omics has 15K features × 1,177 samples. Transformers need orders of magnitude more data.
• SELU + AlphaDropout self-normalizing networks validated at C-index 0.758 on TCGA pan-cancer
• Causal discovery via Integrated Gradients — 20 IG steps × 50 test samples → ranked gene contributions
• Central dogma as architectural constraint — not learned, but enforced
