Artificial intelligence and machine learning in cell-free-DNA-based diagnostics.

Genome research
The discovery of circulating fetal and tumor cell-free DNA (cfDNA) molecules in plasma has opened up tremendous opportunities in noninvasive diagnostics such as the detection of fetal chromosomal aneuploidies and cancers and in posttransplantation mo...

An appropriate DNA input for bisulfite conversion reveals LINE-1 and Alu hypermethylation in tissues and circulating cell-free DNA from cancers.

PloS one
The autonomous and active Long-Interspersed Element-1 (LINE-1, L1) and the non-autonomous Alu retrotransposon elements, contributing to 30% of the human genome, are the most abundant repeated sequences. With more than 90% of their sequences being met...

Plasma cell-free RNA signatures of inflammatory syndromes in children.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Inflammatory syndromes, including those caused by infection, are a major cause of hospital admissions among children and are often misdiagnosed because of a lack of advanced molecular diagnostic tools. In this study, we explored the utility of circul...

Detecting pulmonary malignancy against benign nodules using noninvasive cell-free DNA fragmentomics assay.

ESMO open
BACKGROUND: Early screening using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) can reduce mortality caused by non-small-cell lung cancer. However, ∼25% of the 'suspicious' pulmonary nodules identified by LDCT are later confirmed benign through resection surge...

Tissue of origin detection for cancer tumor using low-depth cfDNA samples through combination of tumor-specific methylation atlas and genome-wide methylation density in graph convolutional neural networks.

Journal of translational medicine
BACKGROUND: Cell free DNA (cfDNA)-based assays hold great potential in detecting early cancer signals yet determining the tissue-of-origin (TOO) for cancer signals remains a challenging task. Here, we investigated the contribution of a methylation at...

Deep learning model integrating cfDNA methylation and fragment size profiles for lung cancer diagnosis.

Scientific reports
Detecting aberrant cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation is a promising strategy for lung cancer diagnosis. In this study, our aim is to identify methylation markers to distinguish patients with lung cancer from healthy individuals. Additionally, we soug...

Prediction of Transcription Factor Binding Sites on Cell-Free DNA Based on Deep Learning.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Transcription factors (TFs) are important regulatory elements for vital cellular activities, and the identification of transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) can help to explore gene regulatory mechanisms. Research studies have proved that cfDNA (...

A Machine learning model for predicting sepsis based on an optimized assay for microbial cell-free DNA sequencing.

Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry
OBJECTIVE: To integrate an enhanced molecular diagnostic technique to develop and validate a machine-learning model for diagnosing sepsis.

Machine learning-enhanced noninvasive prenatal testing of monogenic disorders.

Prenatal diagnosis
OBJECTIVE: Single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) are of great significance in prenatal diagnosis as they are the leading cause of inherited single-gene disorders (SGDs). Identifying SNVs in a non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) scenario is particularl...

The role of cell-free DNA biomarkers and patient data in the early prediction of preeclampsia: an artificial intelligence model.

American journal of obstetrics and gynecology
BACKGROUND: Accurate individualized assessment of preeclampsia risk enables the identification of patients most likely to benefit from initiation of low-dose aspirin at 12 to 16 weeks of gestation when there is evidence for its effectiveness, and ena...
