Prioritizing non-coding regions based on human genomic constraint and sequence context with deep learning.

Nature communications
Elucidating functionality in non-coding regions is a key challenge in human genomics. It has been shown that intolerance to variation of coding and proximal non-coding sequence is a strong predictor of human disease relevance. Here, we integrate into...

The application of deep learning for the classification of correct and incorrect SNP genotypes from whole-genome DNA sequencing pipelines.

Journal of applied genetics
A downside of next-generation sequencing technology is the high technical error rate. We built a tool, which uses array-based genotype information to classify next-generation sequencing-based SNPs into the correct and the incorrect calls. The deep le...

DeepVariant-on-Spark: Small-Scale Genome Analysis Using a Cloud-Based Computing Framework.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
Although sequencing a human genome has become affordable, identifying genetic variants from whole-genome sequence data is still a hurdle for researchers without adequate computing equipment or bioinformatics support. GATK is a gold standard method fo...

A machine learning approach to optimizing cell-free DNA sequencing panels: with an application to prostate cancer.

BMC cancer
BACKGROUND: Cell-free DNA's (cfDNA) use as a biomarker in cancer is challenging due to genetic heterogeneity of malignancies and rarity of tumor-derived molecules. Here we describe and demonstrate a novel machine-learning guided panel design strategy...

Application of Whole-Genome Sequences and Machine Learning in Source Attribution of Salmonella Typhimurium.

Risk analysis : an official publication of the Society for Risk Analysis
Prevention of the emergence and spread of foodborne diseases is an important prerequisite for the improvement of public health. Source attribution models link sporadic human cases of a specific illness to food sources and animal reservoirs. With the ...

DeepMILO: a deep learning approach to predict the impact of non-coding sequence variants on 3D chromatin structure.

Genome biology
Non-coding variants have been shown to be related to disease by alteration of 3D genome structures. We propose a deep learning method, DeepMILO, to predict the effects of variants on CTCF/cohesin-mediated insulator loops. Application of DeepMILO on v...

A deep learning system accurately classifies primary and metastatic cancers using passenger mutation patterns.

Nature communications
In cancer, the primary tumour's organ of origin and histopathology are the strongest determinants of its clinical behaviour, but in 3% of cases a patient presents with a metastatic tumour and no obvious primary. Here, as part of the ICGC/TCGA Pan-Can...

VAMPr: VAriant Mapping and Prediction of antibiotic resistance via explainable features and machine learning.

PLoS computational biology
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasing threat to public health. Current methods of determining AMR rely on inefficient phenotypic approaches, and there remains incomplete understanding of AMR mechanisms for many pathogen-antimicrobial combin...

Evaluation of parameters affecting performance and reliability of machine learning-based antibiotic susceptibility testing from whole genome sequencing data.

PLoS computational biology
Prediction of antibiotic resistance phenotypes from whole genome sequencing data by machine learning methods has been proposed as a promising platform for the development of sequence-based diagnostics. However, there has been no systematic evaluation...
