High-throughput technologies to collect field data have made observations possible at scale in several branches of life sciences. The data collected can range from the molecular level (genotypes) to physiological (phenotypic traits) and…
In mass spectrometry-based proteomics, experts usually project data onto a single set of reference sequences, overlooking the influence of common haplotypes (combinations of genetic variants inherited together from a parent). We recently…
The linking genotype to phenotype is the fundamental aim of modern genetics. We focus on study of links between gene expression data and phenotype data through integrative analysis. We propose three approaches. 1) The inherent complexity of…
Accurate identification of haplotypes in sequenced human genomes can provide invaluable information about population demography and fine-scale correlations along the genome, thus empowering both population genomic and medical association…
Genomic data visualization is essential for interpretation and hypothesis generation as well as a valuable aid in communicating discoveries. Visual tools bridge the gap between algorithmic approaches and the cognitive skills of…
Genotype-to-phenotype mappings translate genotypic variations such as mutations into phenotypic changes. Neutrality is the observation that some mutations do not lead to phenotypic changes. Studying the search trajectories in genotypic and…
The Genographic Project is an international effort using genetic data to chart human migratory history. The project is non-profit and non-medical, and through its Legacy Fund supports locally led efforts to preserve indigenous and…
This paper presents a non-parametric classification technique for identifying a candidate bi-allelic genetic marker set that best describes disease susceptibility in gene-gene interaction studies. The developed technique functions by…
Phenomics is an emerging branch of modern biology that uses high throughput phenotyping tools to capture multiple environmental and phenotypic traits, often at massive spatial and temporal scales. The resulting high dimensional data…
Understanding genetic variation, e.g., through mutations, in organisms is crucial to unravel their effects on the environment and human health. A fundamental characterization can be obtained by solving the haplotype assembly problem, which…
The genotype-phenotype gap is a persistent barrier to complex trait genetic dissection, worsened by the explosive growth of genomic data (1.5 billion variants identified in the UK Biobank WGS study) alongside persistently scarce and…
Complete genome sequences contain valuable information about natural selection, but extracting this information for short, widely scattered noncoding elements remains a challenging problem. Here we introduce a new computational method for…
GeneVis is a web-based tool to visualize complementary data sets of different disciplines within the field of genetics. It overlays gene-cluster information, gene-interaction data and gene-disease association data by means of web-based…
Understanding how genetic variants influence cellular-level processes is an important step towards understanding how they influence important organismal-level traits, or "phenotypes", including human disease susceptibility. To this end…
Algorithms for laying out large graphs have seen significant progress in the past decade. However, browsing large graphs remains a challenge. Rendering thousands of graphical elements at once often results in a cluttered image, and…
Identifying genes associated with complex human diseases is one of the main challenges of human genetics and computational medicine. To answer this question, millions of genetic variants get screened to identify a few of importance. To…
Summary: The vast generation of genetic data poses a significant challenge in efficiently uncovering valuable knowledge. Introducing GENEVIC, an AI-driven chat framework that tackles this challenge by bridging the gap between genetic data…
Background: Cancers are highly heterogeneous with different subtypes. These subtypes often possess different genetic variants, present different pathological phenotypes, and most importantly, show various clinical outcomes such as varied…
In understanding and redesigning the function of proteins in modern biochemistry, protein engineers are increasingly focusing on exploring regions in proteins called loops. Analyzing various characteristics of these regions helps the…
Phylogenetic analyses of gene expression have great potential for addressing a wide range of questions. These analyses will, for example, identify genes that have evolutionary shifts in expression that are correlated with evolutionary…
