Selene: a PyTorch-based deep learning library for sequence data.

Nature methods
To enable the application of deep learning in biology, we present Selene (https://selene.flatironinstitute.org/), a PyTorch-based deep learning library for fast and easy development, training, and application of deep learning model architectures for ...

Identifying mouse developmental essential genes using machine learning.

Disease models & mechanisms
The genes that are required for organismal survival are annotated as 'essential genes'. Identifying all the essential genes of an animal species can reveal critical functions that are needed during the development of the organism. To inform studies o...

Genotoxicity evaluation of titanium dioxide nanoparticles using the mouse lymphoma assay and the Ames test.

Mutation research. Genetic toxicology and environmental mutagenesis
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO-NPs) are widely used in the cosmetics, health, and food industries, but their safety and genotoxicity remain a matter of debate. We investigated whether TiO-NPs could induce gene mutations in mouse lymphoma L5178Y ...

Machine-Learning-Guided Mutagenesis for Directed Evolution of Fluorescent Proteins.

ACS synthetic biology
Molecular evolution based on mutagenesis is widely used in protein engineering. However, optimal proteins are often difficult to obtain due to a large sequence space. Here, we propose a novel approach that combines molecular evolution with machine le...

Enhancing the Biological Relevance of Machine Learning Classifiers for Reverse Vaccinology.

International journal of molecular sciences
Reverse vaccinology (RV) is a bioinformatics approach that can predict antigens with protective potential from the protein coding genomes of bacterial pathogens for subunit vaccine design. RV has become firmly established following the development of...

Extending (Q)SARs to incorporate proprietary knowledge for regulatory purposes: A case study using aromatic amine mutagenicity.

Regulatory toxicology and pharmacology : RTP
Statistical-based and expert rule-based models built using public domain mutagenicity knowledge and data are routinely used for computational (Q)SAR assessments of pharmaceutical impurities in line with the approach recommended in the ICH M7 guidelin...

Identification of Clonal Hematopoiesis Driver Mutations through In Silico Saturation Mutagenesis.

Cancer discovery
Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is a phenomenon of clonal expansion of hematopoietic stem cells driven by somatic mutations affecting certain genes. Recently, CH has been linked to the development of hematologic malignancies, cardiovascular diseases, and o...

SuPreMo: a computational tool for streamlining in silico perturbation using sequence-based predictive models.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
SUMMARY: The increasing development of sequence-based machine learning models has raised the demand for manipulating sequences for this application. However, existing approaches to edit and evaluate genome sequences using models have limitations, suc...

Optimizing machine-learning models for mutagenicity prediction through better feature selection.

Mutagenesis
Assessing a compound's mutagenicity using machine learning is an important activity in the drug discovery and development process. Traditional methods of mutagenicity detection, such as Ames test, are expensive and time and labor intensive. In this c...

fastISM: performant in silico saturation mutagenesis for convolutional neural networks.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Deep-learning models, such as convolutional neural networks, are able to accurately map biological sequences to associated functional readouts and properties by learning predictive de novo representations. In silico saturation mutagenesis...
