Leveraging supervised learning for functionally informed fine-mapping of cis-eQTLs identifies an additional 20,913 putative causal eQTLs.

Nature communications
The large majority of variants identified by GWAS are non-coding, motivating detailed characterization of the function of non-coding variants. Experimental methods to assess variants' effect on gene expressions in native chromatin context via direct ...

Machine learning approaches reveal genomic regions associated with sugarcane brown rust resistance.

Scientific reports
Sugarcane is an economically important crop, but its genomic complexity has hindered advances in molecular approaches for genetic breeding. New cultivars are released based on the identification of interesting traits, and for sugarcane, brown rust re...

How Machine Learning Methods Helped Find Putative Rye Wax Genes Among GBS Data.

International journal of molecular sciences
The standard approach to genetic mapping was supplemented by machine learning (ML) to establish the location of the rye gene associated with epicuticular wax formation (glaucous phenotype). Over 180 plants of the biparental F population were genotype...

lncRNAKB, a knowledgebase of tissue-specific functional annotation and trait association of long noncoding RNA.

Scientific data
Long non-coding RNA Knowledgebase (lncRNAKB) is an integrated resource for exploring lncRNA biology in the context of tissue-specificity and disease association. A systematic integration of annotations from six independent databases resulted in 77,19...

Sensitivity analysis based on the random forest machine learning algorithm identifies candidate genes for regulation of innate and adaptive immune response of chicken.

Poultry science
Two categories of immune responses-innate and adaptive immunity-have both polygenic backgrounds and a significant environmental component. The goal of the reported study was to define candidate genes and mutations for the immune traits of interest in...

An enhanced machine learning tool for cis-eQTL mapping with regularization and confounder adjustments.

Genetic epidemiology
Many expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies have been conducted to investigate the biological effects of variants in gene regulation. However, these eQTL studies may suffer from low or moderate statistical power and overly conservative fal...

Cross-species regulatory sequence activity prediction.

PLoS computational biology
Machine learning algorithms trained to predict the regulatory activity of nucleic acid sequences have revealed principles of gene regulation and guided genetic variation analysis. While the human genome has been extensively annotated and studied, mod...

Morphological traits of drought tolerant horse gram germplasm: classification through machine learning.

Journal of the science of food and agriculture
BACKGROUND: Horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc.) is an underutilized pulse crop with good drought resistance traits. It is a rich source of protein. Conventional breeding methods for high yielding and abiotic stress tolerant germplasm are...

DeepWAS: Multivariate genotype-phenotype associations by directly integrating regulatory information using deep learning.

PLoS computational biology
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify genetic variants associated with traits or diseases. GWAS never directly link variants to regulatory mechanisms. Instead, the functional annotation of variants is typically inferred by post hoc analyses...

TSLRF: Two-Stage Algorithm Based on Least Angle Regression and Random Forest in genome-wide association studies.

Scientific reports
One of the most important tasks in genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) is the detection of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which are related to target traits. With the development of sequencing technology, traditional statistical methods a...
