RegVar: Tissue-specific Prioritization of Non-coding Regulatory Variants.

Genomics, proteomics & bioinformatics
Non-coding genomic variants constitute the majority of trait-associated genome variations; however, the identification of functional non-coding variants is still a challenge in human genetics, and a method for systematically assessing the impact of r...

Deep learning enables genetic analysis of the human thoracic aorta.

Nature genetics
Enlargement or aneurysm of the aorta predisposes to dissection, an important cause of sudden death. We trained a deep learning model to evaluate the dimensions of the ascending and descending thoracic aorta in 4.6 million cardiac magnetic resonance i...

Personalized Cell Therapy for Patients with Peripheral Arterial Diseases in the Context of Genetic Alterations: Artificial Intelligence-Based Responder and Non-Responder Prediction.

Cells
Stem/progenitor cell transplantation is a potential novel therapeutic strategy to induce angiogenesis in ischemic tissue, which can prevent major amputation in patients with advanced peripheral artery disease (PAD). Thus, clinicians can use cell ther...

Leveraging machine learning essentiality predictions and chemogenomic interactions to identify antifungal targets.

Nature communications
Fungal pathogens pose a global threat to human health, with Candida albicans among the leading killers. Systematic analysis of essential genes provides a powerful strategy to discover potential antifungal targets. Here, we build a machine learning mo...

Deep Learning of the Retina Enables Phenome- and Genome-Wide Analyses of the Microvasculature.

Circulation
BACKGROUND: The microvasculature, the smallest blood vessels in the body, has key roles in maintenance of organ health and tumorigenesis. The retinal fundus is a window for human in vivo noninvasive assessment of the microvasculature. Large-scale com...

Predicting physiological aging rates from a range of quantitative traits using machine learning.

Aging
It is widely thought that individuals age at different rates. A method that measures "physiological age" or physiological aging rate independent of chronological age could therefore help elucidate mechanisms of aging and inform an individual's risk o...

Spatial rank-based multifactor dimensionality reduction to detect gene-gene interactions for multivariate phenotypes.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Identifying interaction effects between genes is one of the main tasks of genome-wide association studies aiming to shed light on the biological mechanisms underlying complex diseases. Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) is a popul...

LightGBM: accelerated genomically designed crop breeding through ensemble learning.

Genome biology
LightGBM is an ensemble model of decision trees for classification and regression prediction. We demonstrate its utility in genomic selection-assisted breeding with a large dataset of inbred and hybrid maize lines. LightGBM exhibits superior performa...

Genetic dissection of complex traits using hierarchical biological knowledge.

PLoS computational biology
Despite the growing constellation of genetic loci linked to common traits, these loci have yet to account for most heritable variation, and most act through poorly understood mechanisms. Recent machine learning (ML) systems have used hierarchical bio...

ReFeaFi: Genome-wide prediction of regulatory elements driving transcription initiation.

PLoS computational biology
Regulatory elements control gene expression through transcription initiation (promoters) and by enhancing transcription at distant regions (enhancers). Accurate identification of regulatory elements is fundamental for annotating genomes and understan...
