Machine learning random forest for predicting oncosomatic variant NGS analysis.

Scientific reports
Since 2017, we have used IonTorrent NGS platform in our hospital to diagnose and treat cancer. Analyzing variants at each run requires considerable time, and we are still struggling with some variants that appear correct on the metrics at first, but ...

Disease variant prediction with deep generative models of evolutionary data.

Nature
Quantifying the pathogenicity of protein variants in human disease-related genes would have a marked effect on clinical decisions, yet the overwhelming majority (over 98%) of these variants still have unknown consequences. In principle, computational...

Revisiting the out of Africa event with a deep-learning approach.

American journal of human genetics
Anatomically modern humans evolved around 300 thousand years ago in Africa. They started to appear in the fossil record outside of Africa as early as 100 thousand years ago, although other hominins existed throughout Eurasia much earlier. Recently, s...

Evolutionarily informed machine learning enhances the power of predictive gene-to-phenotype relationships.

Nature communications
Inferring phenotypic outcomes from genomic features is both a promise and challenge for systems biology. Using gene expression data to predict phenotypic outcomes, and functionally validating the genes with predictive powers are two challenges we add...

Assigning function to SNPs: Considerations when interpreting genetic variation.

Seminars in cell & developmental biology
Assigning function to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to understand the mechanisms that link genetic and phenotypic variation and disease is an area of intensive research that is necessary to contribute to the continuing development of precisi...

Machine learning-based identification and characterization of 15 novel pathogenic SUOX missense mutations.

Molecular genetics and metabolism
Isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency (ISOD) is a rare hereditary metabolic disease caused by absence of functional sulfite oxidase (SO) due to mutations of the SUOX gene. SO oxidizes toxic sulfite and sulfite accumulation is associated with neurologic...

Application of the random forest algorithm to Streptococcus pyogenes response regulator allele variation: from machine learning to evolutionary models.

Scientific reports
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a globally significant bacterial pathogen. The GAS genotyping gold standard characterises the nucleotide variation of emm, which encodes a surface-exposed protein that is recombinogenic and under immune-based selection ...

A Deep-Learning Sequence-Based Method to Predict Protein Stability Changes Upon Genetic Variations.

Genes
Several studies have linked disruptions of protein stability and its normal functions to disease. Therefore, during the last few decades, many tools have been developed to predict the free energy changes upon protein residue variations. Most of these...
