BACKGROUND: Start loss variants are a class of genetic variants that affect the bases of the start codon, disrupting the normal translation initiation process and leading to protein deletions or the production of different proteins. Accurate assessme...
BACKGROUND: Shandong's local duck breeds are renowned for their outstanding egg-laying performance and are regarded as valuable assets within China's waterfowl germplasm. Understanding the genetic characteristics of these populations, along with moni...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning and artificial intelligence are increasingly being applied to identify phenotypically causal genetic variation. These data-driven methods require comprehensive training sets to deliver reliable results. However, large unb...

Lineage-specific genetic variants play a key role in evolutionary divergence, particularly through changes in cis-regulatory elements that fine-tune gene expression. Massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs) provide a powerful approach to characteri...
BACKGROUND: Whole genome sequencing offers significant potential to improve the diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases by enabling the identification of thousands of rare, potentially pathogenic variants. Existing variant prioritisation tools can b...
Understanding how genetic variation impacts transcription factor (TF) binding remains a major challenge, limiting our ability to model disease-associated variants. Here, we used a highly controlled system of F crosses with extensive genetic diversity...
Variants of Uncertain Significance (VUS) in genetic testing for hereditary diseases burden patients and clinicians, yet clinical data that could reduce VUS are underutilized due to a lack of scalable strategies. We assessed whether a machine learning...
BACKGROUND: A significant challenge in precision medicine is confidently identifying mutations detected in sequencing processes that play roles in disease treatment or diagnosis. Furthermore, the lack of representativeness of single nucleotide varian...
BACKGROUND: Methotrexate (MTX) is the mainstay initial treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but individual response varies and remains difficult to predict. The role of genetics remains unclear, but studies suggest its importance.
