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...

MET Exon 14 Skipping: A Case Study for the Detection of Genetic Variants in Cancer Driver Genes by Deep Learning.

International journal of molecular sciences
BACKGROUND: Disruption of alternative splicing (AS) is frequently observed in cancer and might represent an important signature for tumor progression and therapy. Exon skipping (ES) represents one of the most frequent AS events, and in non-small cell...

Refinement of the clinical variant interpretation framework by statistical evidence and machine learning.

Med (New York, N.Y.)
BACKGROUND: Although the American College of Medical Genetics andĀ Genomics/Association for Molecular Pathology (ACMG/AMP) guidelines for variant interpretation are used widely in clinical genetics, there is room for improvement of these knowledge-bas...

Prioritizing non-coding regions based on human genomic constraint and sequence context with deep learning.

Nature communications
Elucidating functionality in non-coding regions is a key challenge in human genomics. It has been shown that intolerance to variation of coding and proximal non-coding sequence is a strong predictor of human disease relevance. Here, we integrate into...

CADD-Splice-improving genome-wide variant effect prediction using deep learning-derived splice scores.

Genome medicine
BACKGROUND: Splicing of genomic exons into mRNAs is a critical prerequisite for the accurate synthesis of human proteins. Genetic variants impacting splicing underlie a substantial proportion of genetic disease, but are challenging to identify beyond...

Utilizing Computational Machine Learning Tools to Understand Immunogenic Breadth in the Context of a CD8 T-Cell Mediated HIV Response.

Frontiers in immunology
Predictive models are becoming more and more commonplace as tools for candidate antigen discovery to meet the challenges of enabling epitope mapping of cohorts with diverse HLA properties. Here we build on the concept of using two key parameters, div...
