GenePy identifies potential missed biallelic diagnoses in the 100KGP by scoring variants and analyzing phenotypic overlaps, finding 14% of undiagnosed participants may have a missed diagnosis.

This study identifies genetic differences between pediatric and adult cardiomyopathy, finding more constrained variants in childhood cases and female patients.

The paper introduces MuAt, a deep learning model that learns representations of somatic mutations to predict tumour types and subtypes with high accuracy.

The paper introduces DeNovoLOEUF, a method to identify diagnostic variants in genome sequencing data, achieving 96% positive predictive value and uncovering 39 missed diagnoses in the 100,000 Genomes Project.

The paper identifies an intermediate-effect variant in UMOD associated with chronic kidney disease risk and shows it has reduced disease severity compared to canonical ADTKD mutations.

The paper examines genetic variation and natural selection at SARS-CoV-2 host genes in diverse populations and links selected variants to clinical phenotypes in COVID-19.

The paper identifies gene-specific mutational signatures caused by replication errors and endogenous DNA damage using CRISPR-Cas9 knockouts and whole-genome sequencing.
