Polygenic scores, which estimate an individual's genetic propensity for a disease or trait, have the potential to become part of genomic healthcare. Neural-network based deep-learning has emerged as a method of intense interest to model complex, nonl...
BACKGROUND: Identifying Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms is crucial for diagnosing and managing rare diseases. However, clinicians, especially junior physicians, often face challenges due to the complexity of describing patient phenotypes accurat...

Integrating, learning from, and predicting using vast datasets from various scales, platforms, and species is crucial for advancing crop improvement through breeding. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a broad category of methods, many of which have bee...
BACKGROUND: Whole genome sequencing offers significant potential to improve the diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases by enabling the identification of thousands of rare, potentially pathogenic variants. Existing variant prioritisation tools can b...
Current diagnostic procedures for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are mainly subjective and prone to bias. While research on potential biomarkers, including EEG, brain imaging, and genetics is promising, it has yet to demonstrate clin...
INTRODUCTION: Physical activity (PA) is crucial for older adults' well-being and mitigating health risks. Encouraging active lifestyles requires a deeper understanding of the factors influencing PA, which conventional approaches often overlook by ass...
BACKGROUND: Differentiating bipolar disorder (BD) from unipolar depression (UD) is essential, as these conditions differ greatly in their progression and treatment approaches. Digital phenotyping, which involves using data from smartphones or other d...
Large-cohort imaging and diagnostic studies often assess cardiac function but overlook underlying biological mechanisms. Cardiac digital twins (CDTs) are personalized physics-constrained and physiology-constrained in silico representations, uncoverin...
UNLABELLED: Gihawi et al. (mBio 14:e01607-23, 2023, https://doi.org/10.1128/mbio.01607-23) argued that the analysis of tumor-associated microbiome data by Poore et al. (Nature 579:567-574, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2095-1) is invalid b...
