anomaly detection machine learning kaggle

What is Anomaly Detection? Anomaly detection, also known as outlier detection or novelty detection, is a method of identifying uncommon events, or data points that don’t conform to the expected pattern in a dataset. Anomaly detection is used in a wide range of applications, such as networking and security-related areas,…

Whole-genome CRISPR activation for the identification of host factors controlling cellular interactions with SARS-CoV-2

In a recent study published in the PLOS Biology, researchers found that leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 15 (LRRC15), a toll-like receptor (TLR)-related cell surface receptor, blocked severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) binding. Study: Fibroblast-expressed LRRC15 is a receptor for SARS-CoV-2 spike and controls antiviral and antifibrotic transcriptional…

The role of heteroplasmic mitochondrial DNA mutations on tumorigenesis and metabolism

The electron transport chain (ETC) activity in mammalian cells is necessary for survival and proliferation. The ETC is composed of ~100 subunits mostly encoded in the nuclear genome, but 13 essential subunits are in the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA). Accumulation of mutations in the mtDNA can lead to severe genetic defects…

Natural variants of human SARM1 cause both intrinsic and dominant loss-of-function influencing axon survival

Selection of naturally occurring human SARM1 variants with potential for LoF We hypothesised that naturally occurring SARM1 coding variation that confers LoF exists in the general human population. Previous studies have shown that disruption of the SAM multimerization domains or catalytic TIR domain of SARM1 is more likely to cause…

A Guide for Optimizing Arrayed CRISPR Screens

Loss-of-function (LOF) screens measure the phenotypic effects of gene disruptions, which helps researchers identify and validate gene targets for drug discovery. CRISPR-Cas9 technology has enabled great advances in LOF screening. While researchers typically use pooled CRISPR screens to assess fitness phenotypes, arrayed screens are amenable to a variety of functional…

Loss of gene linked to differences in brain size

The work, from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, the French Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm), the University of Bourgogne Franche-Comté, and Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI)-Shenzhen, found that when there was a loss-of-function mutation in the mouse gene Magee2, it led to adult male mice having slightly enlarged brains. When…
