Predicting multi-omics from genotypes with OmicsPred

Medical Xpress

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 from genotypes. A Research Briefing on the study is published in the same journal issue.

Predicting development of ALS disease with AI methods

Medical Xpress

Using artificial intelligence (AI) methods, researchers led by Professor Dr. Alexander Schönhuth from Bielefeld University's Faculty of Technology have succeeded in recording and deciphering the genotype profiles of 3,000 ALS patients and thus learning more about the development of the disease.

Why early participant engagement is now a top priority in genetic disease research

pharmaphorum

Pharmaceutical companies and biotechs are also adapting their approaches, launching patient finding and engagement programmes that can start years before clinical trials begin and allow them to run ‘recontact by genotype’ studies that the Resilience Project would have liked to do. Why should research be any different?

Study: Fiber intake reduces cognitive decline risk in older people with apolipoprotein ?4 allele

Medical Xpress

Fiber intake is associated with a lower risk of developing cognitive decline in those old people with the apolipoprotein E ApoE ε4 genotype, regarded as a genetic risk factor linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease.

Inferring human genomes at a fraction of the cost promises to boost biomedical research

Scienmag

To discover these associations, researchers need to compare the genomes of many individuals at millions of genetic locations or markers, and therefore require cost-effective genotyping technologies. A new statistical method, developed […].
