BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer screening programs are increasingly relying on sensitive molecular approaches as primary tests to detect high-risk human papillomaviruses (hrHPV), the causative agents of cervix cancer. Although hrHPV infection is a pre-re...
Fragmentomics features of cell-free DNA represent promising non-invasive biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. A lack of systematic evaluation of biases in feature quantification hinders the adoption of such applications. We compare features derived from ...
Improvements in sequencing technology make the development of new tools for detection of structural variance more and more common. However, since the tools available for the long-read Oxford Nanopore sequencing are limited, and the selection of the o...

Recent advances in next-generation sequencing have opened up new possibilities for applying the human microbiome in various fields, including forensics. Researchers have capitalized on the site-specific microbial communities found in different parts ...
UNLABELLED: Antimicrobial resistance is an escalating global health crisis, underscoring the urgent need for timely and targeted therapies to ensure effective clinical treatment. We developed a machine learning model based on metagenomic next-generat...
Circular RNA (circRNA) represents a type of RNA molecule characterized by a closed-loop structure that is distinct from linear RNA counterparts. Recent studies have revealed the emerging role of these circular transcripts in gene regulation and disea...

OBJECTIVE: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) can potentially detect various pathogenic microorganisms without bias to improve the diagnostic rate of fever of unknown origin (FUO), but there are no effective methods to predict mNGS-positiv...
Using millions of methylation segments, we developed DiffuCpG, a generative artificial intelligence (AI) diffusion model designed to solve the critical challenge of missing data in high-throughput methylation technologies. DiffuCpG goes beyond conven...
BACKGROUND: T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoires provide insights into tumor immunology, yet their variations across digestive system cancers are not well understood. Characterizing TCR differences between colorectal cancer (CRC) and gastric cancer (GC)...
Small non-coding molecules known as microRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis evaluation. Traditional wet-lab methods for validating miRNA-disease associations are often time-consuming and inefficient. Wit...
