SVFX: a machine learning framework to quantify the pathogenicity of structural variants.

Genome biology
There is a lack of approaches for identifying pathogenic genomic structural variants (SVs) although they play a crucial role in many diseases. We present a mechanism-agnostic machine learning-based workflow, called SVFX, to assign pathogenicity score...

Deep learning approach for predicting functional Z-DNA regions using omics data.

Scientific reports
Computational methods to predict Z-DNA regions are in high demand to understand the functional role of Z-DNA. The previous state-of-the-art method Z-Hunt is based on statistical mechanical and energy considerations about B- to Z-DNA transition using ...

Single-Cell Techniques and Deep Learning in Predicting Drug Response.

Trends in pharmacological sciences
Rapidly developing single-cell sequencing analyses produce more comprehensive profiles of the genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic heterogeneity of tumor subpopulations than do traditional bulk sequencing analyses. Moreover, single-cell techniques...

Computational methods and next-generation sequencing approaches to analyze epigenetics data: Profiling of methods and applications.

Methods (San Diego, Calif.)
Epigenetics is mainly comprised of features that regulate genomic interactions thereby playing a crucial role in a vast array of biological processes. Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation and histone modifications influence gene expression b...

Integrating multi-omics data by learning modality invariant representations for improved prediction of overall survival of cancer.

Methods (San Diego, Calif.)
Breast and ovarian cancers are the second and the fifth leading causes of cancer death among women. Predicting the overall survival of breast and ovarian cancer patients can facilitate the therapeutics evaluation and treatment decision making. Multi-...

Cross-species regulatory sequence activity prediction.

PLoS computational biology
Machine learning algorithms trained to predict the regulatory activity of nucleic acid sequences have revealed principles of gene regulation and guided genetic variation analysis. While the human genome has been extensively annotated and studied, mod...

CNN-Peaks: ChIP-Seq peak detection pipeline using convolutional neural networks that imitate human visual inspection.

Scientific reports
ChIP-seq is one of the core experimental resources available to understand genome-wide epigenetic interactions and identify the functional elements associated with diseases. The analysis of ChIP-seq data is important but poses a difficult computation...

Machine learning and clinical epigenetics: a review of challenges for diagnosis and classification.

Clinical epigenetics
BACKGROUND: Machine learning is a sub-field of artificial intelligence, which utilises large data sets to make predictions for future events. Although most algorithms used in machine learning were developed as far back as the 1950s, the advent of big...

Estimating gene expression from DNA methylation and copy number variation: A deep learning regression model for multi-omics integration.

Genomics
Gene expression analysis plays a significant role for providing molecular insights in cancer. Various genetic and epigenetic factors (being dealt under multi-omics) affect gene expression giving rise to cancer phenotypes. A recent growth in understan...

Deep learning models predict regulatory variants in pancreatic islets and refine type 2 diabetes association signals.

eLife
Genome-wide association analyses have uncovered multiple genomic regions associated with T2D, but identification of the causal variants at these remains a challenge. There is growing interest in the potential of deep learning models - which predict e...
