Machine learning on genome-wide association studies to predict the risk of radiation-associated contralateral breast cancer in the WECARE Study.

PloS one
The purpose of this study was to identify germline single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that optimally predict radiation-associated contralateral breast cancer (RCBC) and to provide new biological insights into the carcinogenic process. Fifty-two w...

GenEpi: gene-based epistasis discovery using machine learning.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide a powerful means to identify associations between genetic variants and phenotypes. However, GWAS techniques for detecting epistasis, the interactions between genetic variants associated with ...

DeepWAS: Multivariate genotype-phenotype associations by directly integrating regulatory information using deep learning.

PLoS computational biology
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify genetic variants associated with traits or diseases. GWAS never directly link variants to regulatory mechanisms. Instead, the functional annotation of variants is typically inferred by post hoc analyses...

Deep learning models predict regulatory variants in pancreatic islets and refine type 2 diabetes association signals.

eLife
Genome-wide association analyses have uncovered multiple genomic regions associated with T2D, but identification of the causal variants at these remains a challenge. There is growing interest in the potential of deep learning models - which predict e...

Next-generation drug repurposing using human genetics and network biology.

Current opinion in pharmacology
Drug repurposing has attracted increased attention, especially in the context of drug discovery rates that remain too low despite a recent wave of approvals for biological therapeutics (e.g. gene therapy). These new biological entities-based treatmen...

Machine Learning Characterization of COPD Subtypes: Insights From the COPDGene Study.

Chest
COPD is a heterogeneous syndrome. Many COPD subtypes have been proposed, but there is not yet consensus on how many COPD subtypes there are and how they should be defined. The COPD Genetic Epidemiology Study (COPDGene), which has generated 10-year lo...

Machine Learning Enables High-Throughput Phenotyping for Analyses of the Genetic Architecture of Bulliform Cell Patterning in Maize.

G3 (Bethesda, Md.)
Bulliform cells comprise specialized cell types that develop on the adaxial (upper) surface of grass leaves, and are patterned to form linear rows along the proximodistal axis of the adult leaf blade. Bulliform cell patterning affects leaf angle and ...

TSLRF: Two-Stage Algorithm Based on Least Angle Regression and Random Forest in genome-wide association studies.

Scientific reports
One of the most important tasks in genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) is the detection of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which are related to target traits. With the development of sequencing technology, traditional statistical methods a...

Brain age prediction using deep learning uncovers associated sequence variants.

Nature communications
Machine learning algorithms can be trained to estimate age from brain structural MRI. The difference between an individual's predicted and chronological age, predicted age difference (PAD), is a phenotype of relevance to aging and brain disease. Here...
