Wheat plays a crucial role in ensuring food security. However, its complex genetic structure and trait variation pose significant challenges for breeding superior varieties. In this study, a genomic prediction method for wheat (WheatGP) is proposed. ...
Classical genomic prediction approaches rely on statistical associations between traits and markers rather than their biological significance. Biologically informed selection of genomic regions can help prioritize polymorphisms by considering underly...
Amino acid substitution models play an important role in studying the evolutionary relationships among species from protein sequences. The amino acid substitution model consists of a large number of parameters; therefore, it is estimated from hundred...
Response to spatiotemporal variation in selection gradients resulted in signatures of polygenic adaptation in human genomes. We introduce RAISING, a two-stage deep learning framework that optimizes neural network architecture through hyperparameter t...
Nonadditive genetic effects pose significant challenges to traditional genomic selection methods for quantitative traits. Machine learning approaches, particularly kernel-based methods, offer promising solutions to overcome these limitations. In this...
In genomics, use of deep learning (DL) is rapidly growing and DL has successfully demonstrated its ability to uncover complex relationships in large biological and biomedical data sets. With the development of high-throughput sequencing techniques, g...
Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) are indicative of elevated homozygosity and inbreeding due to mating of closely related individuals. Self-fertilization can be a major source of inbreeding which elevates genome-wide homozygosity and thus should also creat...
Inferring past demographic history of natural populations from genomic data is of central concern in many studies across research fields. Previously, our group had developed dadi, a widely used demographic history inference method based on the allele...

Marine macro-algae, commonly known as "seaweed," are used in everyday commodity products worldwide for food, feed, and biostimulant for plants and animals and continue to be one of the conspicuous components of world aquaculture production. However, ...
BACKGROUND: Polygenic risk scores (PRS) are linear combinations of genetic markers weighted by effect size that are commonly used to predict disease risk. For complex heritable diseases such as late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), PRS models fail t...
