PURPOSE: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tends to metastasize to the brain. Between 10 and 60% of NSCLCs harbor an activating mutation in the epidermal growth-factor receptor (EGFR), which may be targeted with selective EGFR inhibitors. However, d...
BACKGROUND: Accurate detection of somatic mutations is challenging but critical in understanding cancer formation, progression, and treatment. We recently proposed NeuSomatic, the first deep convolutional neural network-based somatic mutation detecti...

Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is a fundamental matrix decomposition technique that is used primarily for dimensionality reduction and is increasing in popularity in the biological domain. Although finding a unique NMF is generally not possi...
α-Synuclein is a central player in Parkinson's disease (PD) pathology. Various point mutations in α-synuclein have been identified to alter the protein-phospholipid binding behavior and cause PD. Therefore, exploration of α-synuclein-phospholipid int...
BACKGROUND: Mutation processes leave different signatures in genes. For single-base substitutions, previous studies have suggested that mutation signatures are not only reflected in mutation bases but also in neighboring bases. However, because of th...

The prediction of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) based on genomic information can improve patient outcomes. Genetic mechanisms have been shown to explain AMR with accuracies in line with standard microbiology laboratory testing. To translate genetic ...
Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder in which the body produces defective hemoglobin. One of the important processes to reduce the complication of major β-thalassemia is blood transfusion that leads to elevated ferritin levels in the blood. Man...
Metastatic cancer is associated with poor patient prognosis but its spatiotemporal behavior remains unpredictable at early stage. Here we develop MetaNet, a computational framework that integrates clinical and sequencing data from 32,176 primary and ...
