Understanding FlexLMM: A Nextflow Framework for Genome-Wide Association Studies
ByNeermita Bhattacharya October 14, 2024October 22, 2026

Genome-wide association Studies (GWAS) consider sequencing the DNA of a person and then comparing it with a population to find genetic markers associated with a disease or trait, and this is why they have become an integral part of modern genomics. However, the ongoing development of GWAS has led to the growth of problems associated…

MIT’s iPGS: A New Inclusive Polygenic Scoring Model Revolutionizes Disease Risk Assessment for Diverse Populations
BySwasti Tyagi November 11, 2023November 11, 2023

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) computer scientists developed iPGS, a model that gives accurate polygenic score calculations for the genetic makeup of individuals belonging to diverse ancestral backgrounds. Diversity in human beings can be attributed to the 0.1% of DNA that varies across individuals. It determines the phenotypes that would be expressed as well as…

Beyond Biopsies: Single-Molecule Cell-Free DNA Profiling Fuels Non-Invasive Cancer Screening and Detection
ByNeegar Naushaba Iqbal July 30, 2023July 30, 2023

A new ray of hope for non-invasive cancer detection has emerged. A machine learning algorithm called GEMINI, created by John Hopkins University and Boston University researchers, can effectively diagnose cancer patients using CT scans, even in the early stages (stages I and II), without intrusive treatments like biopsies. This model focuses on the DNA changes…

Transcriptome-Wide Association Studies Integrated with 3D Genomic and Epigenomic Data used to Improve Target Gene Discovery and Drug Repurposing
ByTanveen Kaur June 13, 2022October 22, 2026

Scientists from Pennsylvania State University integrated 3D genomic and epigenomic data with transcriptome-wide association studies data to improve gene expression predictions. The researchers propose an integrative method PUMICE that integrates 3D genomic and epigenomic data with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) to predict gene expressions more accurately. An extension of the method PUMICE +, also combines transcriptome-wide…

Scientists Revealed the Human Genetic Epidemiology of the COVID-19 Disease
ByTanveen Kaur May 12, 2022October 22, 2026

Scientists from the University of Helsinki, Broad Institute, and Harvard Medical School have revealed the human genetic epidemiology of the COVID-19 disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. The study indicates that the genetic association studies have been particularly fast in conveying new genetic signals underlying COVID-19 severity and disease susceptibility and can advance the treatment significantly. Human…
