Accurate inference of the time to the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) between pairs of individuals and of the age of genomic variants is key in several population genetic analyses. We developed a likelihood-free approach, called CoalNN, which use...
DNA methylation is a fundamental epigenetic modification involved in various biological processes and diseases. Analysis of DNA methylation data at a genome-wide and high-throughput level can provide insights into diseases influenced by epigenetics, ...

Genomic prediction, which is based on solving linear mixed-model (LMM) equations, is the most popular method for predicting breeding values or phenotypic performance for economic traits in livestock. With the need to further improve the performance o...
Identifying the function of DNA sequences accurately is an essential and challenging task in the genomic field. Until now, deep learning has been widely used in the functional analysis of DNA sequences, including DeepSEA, DanQ, DeepATT and TBiNet. Ho...
Trypanosomatids are protozoan parasites that cause human and animal neglected diseases. Despite global efforts, effective treatments are still much needed. Phenotypic screens have provided several chemical leads for drug discovery, but the mechanism ...
DNA and RNA sequencing technologies have revolutionized biology and biomedical sciences, sequencing full genomes and transcriptomes at very high speeds and reasonably low costs. RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) enables transcript identification and quantific...
Determining the pathogenicity and functional impact (i.e. gain-of-function; GOF or loss-of-function; LOF) of a variant is vital for unraveling the genetic level mechanisms of human diseases. To provide a 'one-stop' framework for the accurate identifi...
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) is one of the world's leading sources of public biomolecular data. Based at the Wellcome Genome Campus in Hinxton, UK, EMBL-EBI is one of six sites of the Europe...
MOTIVATION: Interactions between proteins help us understand how genes are functionally related and how they contribute to phenotypes. Experiments provide imperfect 'ground truth' information about a small subset of potential interactions in a specif...
Identifying genomic regions influenced by natural selection provides fundamental insights into the genetic basis of local adaptation. However, it remains challenging to detect loci under complex spatially varying selection. We propose a deep learning...
