A machine learning model to determine the accuracy of variant calls in capture-based next generation sequencing.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: Next generation sequencing (NGS) has become a common technology for clinical genetic tests. The quality of NGS calls varies widely and is influenced by features like reference sequence characteristics, read depth, and mapping accuracy. Wi...

Imbalance-Aware Machine Learning for Predicting Rare and Common Disease-Associated Non-Coding Variants.

Scientific reports
Disease and trait-associated variants represent a tiny minority of all known genetic variation, and therefore there is necessarily an imbalance between the small set of available disease-associated and the much larger set of non-deleterious genomic v...

Multiple Trait Covariance Association Test Identifies Gene Ontology Categories Associated with Chill Coma Recovery Time in Drosophila melanogaster.

Scientific reports
The genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) model has proven to be useful for prediction of complex traits as well as estimation of population genetic parameters. Improved inference and prediction accuracy of GBLUP may be achieved by identify...

SNooPer: a machine learning-based method for somatic variant identification from low-pass next-generation sequencing.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) allows unbiased, in-depth interrogation of cancer genomes. Many somatic variant callers have been developed yet accurate ascertainment of somatic variants remains a considerable challenge as evidenced by t...

WORMHOLE: Novel Least Diverged Ortholog Prediction through Machine Learning.

PLoS computational biology
The rapid advancement of technology in genomics and targeted genetic manipulation has made comparative biology an increasingly prominent strategy to model human disease processes. Predicting orthology relationships between species is a vital componen...

Machine Learning Based Classification of Microsatellite Variation: An Effective Approach for Phylogeographic Characterization of Olive Populations.

PloS one
Finding efficient analytical techniques is overwhelmingly turning into a bottleneck for the effectiveness of large biological data. Machine learning offers a novel and powerful tool to advance classification and modeling solutions in molecular biolog...

Prioritizing Clinically Relevant Copy Number Variation from Genetic Interactions and Gene Function Data.

PloS one
It is becoming increasingly necessary to develop computerized methods for identifying the few disease-causing variants from hundreds discovered in each individual patient. This problem is especially relevant for Copy Number Variants (CNVs), which can...

Model-Based Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction for Rare Variant Association Analysis.

Human heredity
Genome-wide association studies have revealed a vast amount of common loci associated to human complex diseases. Still, a large proportion of heritability remains unexplained. The extent to which rare genetic variants (RVs) are able to explain a rele...
