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 ...

Using machine learning to track the evolution of COVID-19

Scientists have developed a machine-learning approach to track the evolution of SARS‑CoV‑2, the virus that causes COVID-19, and potentially other viruses, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National ...

Cardiology

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 ...

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 ...

Diabetes

Genetic trigger for type-1 diabetes may be in lung

New research suggests lung infections could trigger the onset of type-1 diabetes, the auto-immune condition that leaves a person unable to produce enough insulin to keep their blood sugar in a normal range. Hunting for patterns ...

Scientists obtain real-time look at how cancers evolve

From amoebas to zebras, all living things evolve. They change over time as pressures from the environment cause individuals with certain traits to become more common in a population while those with other traits become less ...

Genetics

Fingerprint of multiple sclerosis immune cells identified

Researchers at the University of Zurich have identified a cell population that likely plays a key role in multiple sclerosis (MS). T helper cells in the blood of MS patients infiltrate the central nervous system, where they ...

Alzheimer's disease & dementia

Artificial intelligence tool vastly scales up Alzheimer's research

Researchers at UC Davis and UC San Francisco have found a way to teach a computer to precisely detect one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease in human brain tissue, delivering a proof of concept for a machine-learning ...
