Causal inference approaches in systems genetics exploit quantitative trait loci (QTL) genotypes to infer causal relationships among phenotypes. The genetic architecture of each phenotype may be complex, and poorly estimated genetic…
High-dimensional phenotypes hold promise for richer findings in association studies, but testing of several phenotype traits aggravates the grand challenge of association studies, that of multiple testing. Several methods have recently been…
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…
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…
Current molecular generative models primarily focus on improving drug-target binding affinity and specificity, often neglecting the system-level phenotypic effects elicited by compounds. Transcriptional profiles, as molecule-level readouts…
It has been recently shown that sparse, nonnegative tensor factorization of multi-modal electronic health record data is a promising approach to high-throughput computational phenotyping. However, such approaches typically do not leverage…
Phylogenetic profiles - presence-absence patterns of genes across taxa - are rich information sources for inferring the evolutionary history of genes and gene families. When aggregated across many genes, these profiles can reveal…
Understanding how genes influence phenotype across species is a fundamental challenge in genetic engineering, which will facilitate advances in various fields such as crop breeding, conservation biology, and personalized medicine. However,…
Processing high-throughput DNA sequencing data of individuals or populations requires stringing together independent software tools with many parameters, often leading to non-reproducible pipelines and datasets. We developed grenepipe to…
Mapping genotypes to phenotypes (G2P) is a fundamental goal in biology. So called PhyloG2P methods are a relatively new set of tools that leverage replicated evolution in phylogenetically independent lineages to identify genomic regions…
Objective For the UK Biobank standardized phenotype codes are associated with patients who have been hospitalized but are missing for many patients who have been treated exclusively in an outpatient setting. We describe a method for…
Identifying a patient's key problems over time is a common task for providers at the point care, yet a complex and time-consuming activity given current electric health records. To enable a problem-oriented summarizer to identify a…
Phenotype-driven gene prioritization is a critical process in the diagnosis of rare genetic disorders for identifying and ranking potential disease-causing genes based on observed physical traits or phenotypes. While traditional approaches…
Many machine learning models have been proposed to classify phenotypes from gene expression data. In addition to their good performance, these models can potentially provide some understanding of phenotypes by extracting explanations for…
In this contribution, we discuss the basic concepts of genotypes and phenotypes in tree-based GP (TGP), and then analyze their behavior using five benchmark datasets. We show that TGP exhibits the same behavior that we can observe in other…
Automatic phenotype concept recognition from unstructured text remains a challenging task in biomedical text mining research. Previous works that address the task typically use dictionary-based matching methods, which can achieve high…
The use of networks to integrate different genetic, proteomic, and metabolic datasets has been proposed as a viable path toward elucidating the origins of specific diseases. Here we introduce a new phenotypic database summarizing…
Human genetics offers a promising route to therapeutic discovery, yet practical frameworks translating genotype-derived signal into ranked target and drug hypotheses remain limited, particularly when matched disease transcriptomics are…
Genotype imputation enhances genetic data by predicting missing SNPs using reference haplotype information. Traditional methods leverage linkage disequilibrium (LD) to infer untyped SNP genotypes, relying on the similarity of LD structures…
Phylogenetic trees elucidate evolutionary relationships among species, but phylogenetic inference remains challenging due to the complexity of combining continuous (branch lengths) and discrete parameters (tree topology). Traditional Markov…
