Predicting transcriptional outcomes of novel multigene perturbations with GEARS
MainThe transcriptional response of a cell to genetic perturbation reveals fundamental insights into how the cell functions. Transcriptional responses can describe diverse functionality ranging from how gene regulatory machinery helps maintain cellular identity to how modulating gene expression can reverse disease phenotypes1,2,3. This has implications for biomedical research, especially in developing personalized therapeutics. For instance

Predicting and preparing for the impact of approaching storms
Newcastle University research is helping to prepare for and mitigate storm damage before extreme weather occurs. Climate experts and engineers have created a new model to predict the damage caused by adverse weather. This new framework for 'consequence forecasting' enables first responders to effectively target resources prior to an extreme weather event, such as Storm…
Predicting Early Mortality in Alcohol-Associated Hepatitis
A novel scoring system proved accurate for predicting which patients with alcohol-associated hepatitis are at high risk of short-term mortality, according to researchers. In a derivation cohort, the so-called Mortality Index for Alcohol-Associated Hepatitis (MIAAH) model -- which incorporates patients' age, blood urea nitrogen, albumin, bilirubin, and international normalized ratio (INR) -- achieved a C…
