Machine learning model finds genetic factors for heart disease

To get an inside look at the heart, cardiologists often use electrocardiograms (ECGs) to trace its electrical activity and magnetic resonance images (MRIs) to map its structure. Because the two types of data reveal different ...

Predicting multi-omics from genotypes with OmicsPred

Work by an international research team led by Yu Xu and Michael Inouye at the Department of Public Health and Primary Care, University of Cambridge, has resulted in a unique resource for predicting multi-omics data directly ...

Cardiology

Researchers use DNA analysis to diagnose subtypes of heart disease

The human heart is an intricate, complex organ and, like a car that starts sputtering, its function deteriorates for all sorts of reasons. Cardiomyopathy—any disease of the heart muscle that makes it pump blood less effectively—can ...
