Re: potential seminar in Center for Neural Circuit Mapping
AI Approaches for Understanding Brain Disorders
ABSTRACT
My talk will focus on the material in:
Single-cell genomics and regulatory networks for 388 human brains
Emani et al. (2024). Science.
Specifically, I'll discuss:
Single-cell genomics is a powerful tool for studying heterogeneous
tissues such as the brain. Yet little is understood about how genetic
variants influence cell-level gene expression. Addressing this, we
uniformly processed single-nuclei, multiomics datasets into a resource
comprising >2.8 million nuclei from the prefrontal cortex across 388
individuals with various brain-related disorders and controls. Using
this, we built cell–type–specific gene regulatory and cell-to-cell
communication networks and an integrative deep-learning model that
accurately imputes single-cell expression and simulates perturbations.
The model prioritized ~250
disease-risk genes and drug targets with associated cell types.
If there's time, I'll also touch on the material in :
* A Variational Graph Partitioning Approach to Modeling Protein
Liquid-liquid Phase Separation
G Wang et al. (2024). Cell Reports Physical Science.
* Leveraging a large language model to predict protein phase
transition: a physical, multiscale and interpretable approach
M Frank et al. (2024). PNAS
* Digital phenotyping from wearables using AI characterizes
psychiatric disorders and identifies genetic associations
J Liu et al. (2024). Cell.

variants influence cell-level gene expression. Addressing this, we
uniformly processed single-nuclei, multiomics datasets into a resource
comprising >2.8 million nuclei from the prefrontal cortex across 388
individuals with various brain-related disorders and controls. For 28
harmonized neuronal and non-neuronal cell types, we assessed
population-level variation in expression and chromatin across gene
families and drug targets. Integration of expression and genotype data
revealed >1.4 million single-cell expression quantitative trait loci
(eQTLs), many of which were not seen in bulk gene-expression datasets.
The chromatin datasets allowed for the identification of >550,000
single-cell cis-regulatory elements enriched at loci linked to
brain-related traits. Combining expression, chromatin, and eQTL
datasets, we built cell type–specific gene regulatory and cell-to-cell
communication networks, which manifest cellular changes in aging and
neuropsychiatric disorders, including altered Wnt signaling in
schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. We further constructed an
integrative deep-learning model that accurately imputes single-cell
expression and simulates perturbations. The model prioritized ~250
disease-risk genes and drug targets with associated cell types,
suggesting potential precision-medicine approaches for
neuropsychiatric disorders.

Hi Mark,
Fine. We'll add that in the morning to the already-posted calendar version (which included the title) and to the ListServ.
Again, best wishes. Bissan will be introducing you, so she can ask for any additional info if needed.
Best,
John and Bissan

Hi Dear
I trust this message finds you well.
Permit me to introduce myself. I'm John Romano. I'm looking for woman who's as interested in a long-term relationship as I am.
Three words to describe me: adventurous, optimistic, spontaneous. I am a medical sales personnel, so I'm always open to new possibilities. Seeking casual dates and lots of fun.
Am sorry if i invaded your private space. Apologies. If you want to find out more about me feel free to send me a message and I will be glad to share more about myself with you and send you some of my recent pictures.
Enjoy your day and I look forward to hearing from you!
Cheers,
John
