Identifying causative genes from patient phenotypes remains a significant challenge in precision medicine, with important implications for the diagnosis and treatment of genetic disorders. We propose a novel graph-based approach for…
Phenotypes are the observable characteristics of an organism arising from its response to the environment. Phenotypes associated with engineered and natural genetic variation are widely recorded using phenotype ontologies in model…
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…
Decoding the genome confers the capability to predict characteristics of the organism(phenotype) from DNA (genotype). We describe the present status and future prospects of genomic prediction of complex traits in humans. Some highly…
Many rare genetic diseases exhibit recognizable facial phenotypes, which are often used as diagnostic clues. However, current facial phenotype diagnostic models, which are trained on image datasets, have high accuracy but often suffer from…
This issue includes six articles that develop and apply statistical methods for the analysis of gene sequencing data of different types. The methods are tailored to the different data types and, in each case, lead to biological insights not…
Exploring how genetic sequences shape phenotypes is a fundamental challenge in biology and a key step toward scalable, hypothesis-driven experimentation. The task is complicated by the large modality gap between sequences and phenotypes, as…
Rare genetic disease diagnosis faces critical challenges: insufficient patient data, inaccessible full genome sequencing, and the immense number of possible causative genes. These limitations cause prolonged diagnostic journeys,…
Disease heterogeneity has been a critical challenge for precision diagnosis and treatment, especially in neurologic and neuropsychiatric diseases. Many diseases can display multiple distinct brain phenotypes across individuals, potentially…
The association of a given human phenotype to a genetic variant remains a critical challenge for biology. We present a novel system called PhenoLinker capable of associating a score to a phenotype-gene relationship by using heterogeneous…
Identification of causal genes and pathways is a critical step for understanding the genetic underpinnings of rare diseases. We propose novel approaches to gene prioritization and pathway identification using DNA language model, graph…
The genetic etiologies of common diseases are highly complex and heterogeneous. Classic statistical methods, such as linear regression, have successfully identified numerous genetic variants associated with complex diseases. Nonetheless,…
