Intersecting impact of CAG repeat and huntingtin knockout in stem cell-derived cortical neurons.

Neurobiology of disease
Huntington's Disease (HD) is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the gene encoding huntingtin (HTT). While normal HTT function appears impacted by the mutation, the specific pathways unique to CAG repeat expansion versus loss of normal function are u...

A pan-CRISPR analysis of mammalian cell specificity identifies ultra-compact sgRNA subsets for genome-scale experiments.

Nature communications
A genetic knockout can be lethal to one human cell type while increasing growth rate in another. This context specificity confounds genetic analysis and prevents reproducible genome engineering. Genome-wide CRISPR compendia across most common human c...

Mini-batch optimization enables training of ODE models on large-scale datasets.

Nature communications
Quantitative dynamic models are widely used to study cellular signal processing. A critical step in modelling is the estimation of unknown model parameters from experimental data. As model sizes and datasets are steadily growing, established paramete...

Large-scale DNA-based phenotypic recording and deep learning enable highly accurate sequence-function mapping.

Nature communications
Predicting effects of gene regulatory elements (GREs) is a longstanding challenge in biology. Machine learning may address this, but requires large datasets linking GREs to their quantitative function. However, experimental methods to generate such d...

High-throughput transformation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae using liquid handling robots.

PloS one
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast) is a powerful eukaryotic model organism ideally suited to high-throughput genetic analyses, which time and again has yielded insights that further our understanding of cell biology processes conserved in human...

A Knowledge-Based System for Display and Prediction of O-Glycosylation Network Behaviour in Response to Enzyme Knockouts.

PLoS computational biology
O-linked glycosylation is an important post-translational modification of mucin-type protein, changes to which are important biomarkers of cancer. For this study of the enzymes of O-glycosylation, we developed a shorthand notation for representing Ga...

Understanding TCR T cell knockout behavior using interpretable machine learning.

Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing. Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing
Genetic perturbation of T cell receptor (TCR) T cells is a promising method to unlock better TCR T cell performance to create more powerful cancer immunotherapies, but understanding the changes to T cell behavior induced by genetic perturbations rema...

Min3: Predict microRNA target gene using an improved binding-site representation method and support vector machine.

Journal of bioinformatics and computational biology
MicroRNAs are single-stranded noncoding RNAs known to down-regulate target genes at the protein or mRNA level. Computational prediction of targets is essential for elucidating the detailed functions of microRNA. However, prediction specificity and se...
