Machine learning analyses of antibody somatic mutations predict immunoglobulin light chain toxicity.

Nature communications
In systemic light chain amyloidosis (AL), pathogenic monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains (LC) form toxic aggregates and amyloid fibrils in target organs. Prompt diagnosis is crucial to avoid permanent organ damage, but delayed diagnosis is common ...

A deep learning approach to identify gene targets of a therapeutic for human splicing disorders.

Nature communications
Pre-mRNA splicing is a key controller of human gene expression. Disturbances in splicing due to mutation lead to dysregulated protein expression and contribute to a substantial fraction of human disease. Several classes of splicing modulator compound...

Enhancement of protein thermostability by three consecutive mutations using loop-walking method and machine learning.

Scientific reports
We developed a method to improve protein thermostability, "loop-walking method". Three consecutive positions in 12 loops of Burkholderia cepacia lipase were subjected to random mutagenesis to make 12 libraries. Screening allowed us to identify L7 as ...

Data-driven approaches to advance research and clinical care for pediatric cancer.

Biochimica et biophysica acta. Reviews on cancer
Pediatric cancer is a rare disease with a distinct etiology and mutational landscape compared with adult cancer. Multi-omics profiling of retrospective and prospective cohorts coupled with innovative computational analysis have been instrumental in u...

Detecting adaptive introgression in human evolution using convolutional neural networks.

eLife
Studies in a variety of species have shown evidence for positively selected variants introduced into a population via introgression from another, distantly related population-a process known as adaptive introgression. However, there are few explicit ...

Benchmarking deep learning splice prediction tools using functional splice assays.

Human mutation
Hereditary disorders are frequently caused by genetic variants that affect pre-messenger RNA splicing. Though genetic variants in the canonical splice motifs are almost always disrupting splicing, the pathogenicity of variants in the noncanonical spl...

EARN: an ensemble machine learning algorithm to predict driver genes in metastatic breast cancer.

BMC medical genomics
BACKGROUND: Today, there are a lot of markers on the prognosis and diagnosis of complex diseases such as primary breast cancer. However, our understanding of the drivers that influence cancer aggression is limited.

CopulaNet: Learning residue co-evolution directly from multiple sequence alignment for protein structure prediction.

Nature communications
Residue co-evolution has become the primary principle for estimating inter-residue distances of a protein, which are crucially important for predicting protein structure. Most existing approaches adopt an indirect strategy, i.e., inferring residue co...

Application of machine learning to large in vitro databases to identify drug-cancer cell interactions: azithromycin and KLK6 mutation status.

Oncogene
Recent advances in machine learning promise to yield novel insights by interrogation of large datasets ranging from gene expression and mutation data to CRISPR knockouts and drug screens. We combined existing and new algorithms with available experim...
