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...

Forest and Trees: Exploring Bacterial Virulence with Genome-wide Association Studies and Machine Learning.

Trends in microbiology
The advent of inexpensive and rapid sequencing technologies has allowed bacterial whole-genome sequences to be generated at an unprecedented pace. This wealth of information has revealed an unanticipated degree of strain-to-strain genetic diversity w...

A Revised Model of Anatomically Modern Human Expansions Out of Africa through a Machine Learning Approximate Bayesian Computation Approach.

Genes
There is a wide consensus in considering Africa as the birthplace of anatomically modern humans (AMH), but the dispersal pattern and the main routes followed by our ancestors to colonize the world are still matters of debate. It is still an open ques...

DeepVariant-on-Spark: Small-Scale Genome Analysis Using a Cloud-Based Computing Framework.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
Although sequencing a human genome has become affordable, identifying genetic variants from whole-genome sequence data is still a hurdle for researchers without adequate computing equipment or bioinformatics support. GATK is a gold standard method fo...

A Linear Regression and Deep Learning Approach for Detecting Reliable Genetic Alterations in Cancer Using DNA Methylation and Gene Expression Data.

Genes
DNA methylation change has been useful for cancer biomarker discovery, classification, and potential treatment development. So far, existing methods use either differentially methylated CpG sites or combined CpG sites, namely differentially methylate...

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...
