AI approaches for biomedicine: Cancer & Brain disorders
In this talk, I'll go over these two papers. My talk will focus on the
material in:
(1) Emani et al. (2024).
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 millions 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.
(2) Kumar et al. (2020).
I will also focus on the role of non-coding mutations in cancer.
As most know, the overwhelming part of the genome is noncoding, and
there are many somatic mutations in cancer in this region. It is still
debated the degree to which many of these mutations are under positive
selection and whether these mutations could represent either strong or
weak drivers and affect cancer progression

I've always struggled with managing multiple deadlines, so I eventually turned to Native Assignment Help just to survive the workload. I didn t expect it to make such a huge difference, but it honestly did. They helped me get my workload under control and, for the first time, actually understand what each assignment was asking for. Later, when my coursework started getting tougher, I needed help understanding the scope of entrepreneurial ventures, especially how new businesses identify opportunities, evaluate markets, manage risks, and drive innovation in different sectors, and it honestly became a complete lifesaver. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by criteria, units, and endless task requirements, I finally had someone guiding me through everything in a way that actually made sense.
