    SquiggleNet: real-time, direct classification of nanopore signals

    We present SquiggleNet, the first deep-learning model that can classify nanopore reads directly from their electrical signals. SquiggleNet operates faster than DNA passes through the pore, allowing real-time c...

    Comprehensive identification of somatic nucleotide variants in human brain tissue

    Post-zygotic mutations incurred during DNA replication, DNA repair, and other cellular processes lead to somatic mosaicism. Somatic mosaicism is an established cause of various diseases, including cancers. How...

    Translation of upstream open reading frames in a model of neuronal differentiation

    Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) initiate translation within mRNA 5′ leaders, and have the potential to alter main coding sequence (CDS) translation on transcripts in which they reside. Ribosome profiling ...

    FusorSV: an algorithm for optimally combining data from multiple structural variation detection methods

    Comprehensive and accurate identification of structural variations (SVs) from next generation sequencing data remains a major challenge. We develop FusorSV, which uses a data mining approach to assess performance...
