Rare diseases (RDs) concern a broad range of disorders and can result from various origins. For a long time, the scientific community was unaware of RDs. Impressive progress has already been made for certain RDs; however, due to the lack of sufficien...
The rise of high-throughput experiments has transformed how scientists approach biological questions. The ubiquity of large-scale assays that can test thousands of samples in a day has necessitated the development of new computational approaches to i...
Long-read sequencing enables variant detection in genomic regions that are considered difficult-to-map by short-read sequencing. To fully exploit the benefits of longer reads, here we present a deep learning method NanoCaller, which detects SNPs usin...
Syndromic retinal diseases (SRDs) are a group of complex inherited systemic disorders, with challenging molecular underpinnings and clinical management. Our main goal is to improve clinical and molecular SRDs diagnosis, by applying a structured pheno...
Base editors are chimeric ribonucleoprotein complexes consisting of a DNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas module and a single-stranded DNA deaminase. They enable transition of C•G into T•A base pairs and vice versa on genomic DNA. While base editors have great ...
BACKGROUND: Modern Next Generation- and Third Generation- Sequencing methods such as Illumina and PacBio Circular Consensus Sequencing platforms provide accurate sequencing data. Parallel developments in Deep Learning have enabled the application of ...
Discovering sequence features that differentially direct cells to alternate fates is key to understanding both cellular development and the consequences of disease related mutations. We introduce Expected Pattern Effect and Differential Expected Patt...
Deep mutational scanning provides unprecedented wealth of quantitative data regarding the functional outcome of mutations in proteins. A single experiment may measure properties (eg, structural stability) of numerous protein variants. Leveraging the ...
BACKGROUND: Current risk stratification for patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma based on disease stage and histology is inadequate. For some individuals with early-stage epithelioid tumours, a good prognosis by current guidelines can progres...
Cell-free methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing (cfMeDIP-seq) is a new bisulfite-free technique, which can detect the whole-genome methylation of blood cell-free DNA (cfDNA). Using this technique, we identified differentia...
