In many agricultural applications one wants to characterize physical properties of plants and use the measurements to predict, for example biomass and environmental influence. This process is known as phenotyping. Traditional collection of…
Plant phenotyping is the assessment of a plant's traits and plant identification is the process of determining the category such as genus and species. In this paper we present an interpretable neural network trained on the UPWINS spectral…
Identifying disease-associated genes enables the development of precision medicine and the understanding of biological processes. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS), gene expression data, biological pathway analysis, and protein network…
Network biology has been successfully used to help reveal complex mechanisms of disease, especially cancer. On the other hand, network biology requires in-depth knowledge to construct disease-specific networks, but our current knowledge is…
Seed phenotyping is the idea of analyzing the morphometric characteristics of a seed to predict the behavior of the seed in terms of development, tolerance and yield in various environmental conditions. The focus of the work is the…
Genetic interaction measures how different genes collectively contribute to a phenotype, and can reveal functional compensation and buffering between pathways under genetic perturbations. Recently, genome-wide screening for genetic…
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…
