BACKGROUND: Identifying interaction effects between genes is one of the main tasks of genome-wide association studies aiming to shed light on the biological mechanisms underlying complex diseases. Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) is a popul...
LightGBM is an ensemble model of decision trees for classification and regression prediction. We demonstrate its utility in genomic selection-assisted breeding with a large dataset of inbred and hybrid maize lines. LightGBM exhibits superior performa...
Despite the growing constellation of genetic loci linked to common traits, these loci have yet to account for most heritable variation, and most act through poorly understood mechanisms. Recent machine learning (ML) systems have used hierarchical bio...
Long-read sequencing enables variant detection in genomic regions that are considered difficult-to-map by short-read sequencing. To fully exploit the benefits of longer reads, here we present a deep learning method NanoCaller, which detects SNPs usin...

Assigning function to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to understand the mechanisms that link genetic and phenotypic variation and disease is an area of intensive research that is necessary to contribute to the continuing development of precisi...
BACKGROUND: Control of tuberculosis (TB) depends on a balance between host's immune factors and bacterial evasion strategies. Interleukin-37 (IL-37) is among the immunomodulatory factors that have been proposed to influence susceptibility to tubercul...
Targeted high-throughput DNA sequencing is a primary approach for genomics and molecular diagnostics, and more recently as a readout for DNA information storage. Oligonucleotide probes used to enrich gene loci of interest have different hybridization...
Venous thromboembolism is the third common cardiovascular disease and is composed of two entities, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and its potential fatal form, pulmonary embolism (PE). While PE is observed in ~ 40% of patients with documented DVT, there ...
This study aimed to establish a predictive model to identify children with hematologic malignancy at high risk for delayed clearance of high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) based on machine learning. A total of 205 patients were recruited. Five variables ...
Species harbor extensive structural variation underpinning recent adaptive evolution. However, the causality between genomic features and the induction of new rearrangements is poorly established. Here, we analyze a global set of telomere-to-telomere...
