Predicting geographic location from genetic variation with deep neural networks.

eLife
Most organisms are more closely related to nearby than distant members of their species, creating spatial autocorrelations in genetic data. This allows us to predict the location of origin of a genetic sample by comparing it to a set of samples of kn...

Artificial intelligence as the next step towards precision pathology.

Journal of internal medicine
Pathology is the cornerstone of cancer care. The need for accuracy in histopathologic diagnosis of cancer is increasing as personalized cancer therapy requires accurate biomarker assessment. The appearance of digital image analysis holds promise to i...

Machine-learning based patient classification using Hepatitis B virus full-length genome quasispecies from Asian and European cohorts.

Scientific reports
Chronic infection with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major risk factor for the development of advanced liver disease including fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The relative contribution of virological factors to disease progres...

PharmVar GeneFocus: CYP2D6.

Clinical pharmacology and therapeutics
The Pharmacogene Variation Consortium (PharmVar) provides nomenclature for the highly polymorphic human CYP2D6 gene locus. CYP2D6 genetic variation impacts the metabolism of numerous drugs and, thus, can impact drug efficacy and safety. This GeneFocu...

Machine Learning Approaches for the Prioritization of Genomic Variants Impacting Pre-mRNA Splicing.

Cells
Defects in pre-mRNA splicing are frequently a cause of Mendelian disease. Despite the advent of next-generation sequencing, allowing a deeper insight into a patient's variant landscape, the ability to characterize variants causing splicing defects ha...

Ranking of non-coding pathogenic variants and putative essential regions of the human genome.

Nature communications
A gene is considered essential if loss of function results in loss of viability, fitness or in disease. This concept is well established for coding genes; however, non-coding regions are thought less likely to be determinants of critical functions. H...

CPEM: Accurate cancer type classification based on somatic alterations using an ensemble of a random forest and a deep neural network.

Scientific reports
With recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies, fast acquisition of large-scale genomic data has become commonplace. For cancer studies, in particular, there is an increasing need for the classification of cancer type based on somatic alteration...

Dysmorphology in a Genomic Era.

Clinics in perinatology
Dysmorphology is the practice of defining the morphologic phenotype of syndromic disorders. Genomic sequencing has advanced our understanding of human variation and molecular dysmorphology has evolved in response to the science of relating embryologi...

Artificial intelligence reveals environmental constraints on colour diversity in insects.

Nature communications
Explaining colour variation among animals at broad geographic scales remains challenging. Here we demonstrate how deep learning-a form of artificial intelligence-can reveal subtle but robust patterns of colour feature variation along an ecological gr...

Designing Eukaryotic Gene Expression Regulation Using Machine Learning.

Trends in biotechnology
Controlling the expression of genes is one of the key challenges of synthetic biology. Until recently fine-tuned control has been out of reach, particularly in eukaryotes owing to their complexity of gene regulation. With advances in machine learning...
