GenoML is a Python package automating machine learning workflows for genomics (genetics and multi-omics) with an open science philosophy. Genomics data require significant domain expertise to clean, pre-process, harmonize and perform…

Principal component analysis (PCA) is routinely used in population genetics to assess genetic structure. With chromosomal reference genomes and population-scale whole genome-sequencing becoming increasingly accessible, contemporary studies…

To understand how genetic variants in human genomes manifest in phenotypes -- traits like height or diseases like asthma -- geneticists have sequenced and measured hundreds of thousands of individuals. Geneticists use this data to build…

In the past decade, transcriptome data have become an important component of many phylogenetic studies. Phylogenetic studies now regularly include genes from newly sequenced transcriptomes, as well as publicly available transcriptomes and…

Summary: BGT is a compact format, a fast command line tool and a simple web application for efficient and convenient query of whole-genome genotypes and frequencies across tens to hundreds of thousands of samples. On real data, it encodes…

RNA sequencing techniques, like bulk RNA-seq and Single Cell (sc) RNA-seq, are critical tools for the biologist looking to analyze the genetic activity/transcriptome of a tissue or cell during an experimental procedure. Platforms like…

In this paper, we introduce a novel method for merging the weights of multiple pre-trained neural networks using a genetic algorithm called MeGA. Traditional techniques, such as weight averaging and ensemble methods, often fail to fully…
