Illuminating dark genes and dark metabolites: calibrated functional association across kingdoms with autoencoders and correlation

Yannick Mahlich, Dylan H. Ross, Lummy Maria Oliveira Monteiro, Sutanay Choudhury, William C Nelson, Jason McDermott

VaLPAS pairs a bi-directional autoencoder with correlation for omics guilt-by-association with calibrated confidence; in L. starkeyi its autoencoder linked 176 unidentified metabolites to known-function proteins at ≥50% confidence.
