Dynamic Color Transform Networks for Wheat Head Detection.

Wheat head detection can measure wheat traits such as head density and head characteristics. Standard wheat breeding largely relies on manual observation to detect wheat heads, yielding a tedious and inefficient procedure. The emergence of affordable camera platforms provides opportunities for deploying computer vision (CV) algorithms in wheat head detection, enabling automated measurements of wheat traits. Accurate wheat head detection, however, is challenging due to the variability of observation circumstances and the uncertainty of wheat head appearances. In this work, we propose a simple b

A Statistical Growth Property of Plant Root Architectures.

Numerous types of biological branching networks, with varying shapes and sizes, are used to acquire and distribute resources. Here, we show that plant root and shoot architectures share a fundamental design property. We studied the spatial density function of plant architectures, which specifies the probability of finding a branch at each location in the 3-dimensional volume occupied by the plant. We analyzed 1645 root architectures from four species and discovered that the spatial density functions of all architectures are population-similar. This means that despite their apparent visual dive

Cell Type-Resolved Causal Inference and Spatial Transcriptomic Integration Reveal Immune-Specific Genetic Drivers of Autoimmune and Malignant Thyroid Disease.

BACKGROUND: Thyroid diseases, including autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and thyroid cancer, are characterized by immune dysregulation, yet the cell type-specific genetic mechanisms underlying these conditions remain poorly understood. Most genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have relied on bulk tissue expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), which cannot resolve the heterogeneity of immune cell populations. METHODS: We performed two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses using single-cell cis-eQTLs from 14 immune cell subtypes (OneK1K cohort) as instrumental variables against GWA

Mendelian Randomization Revealed Potential of mTOR Inhibitors for Treatment of Osteoporosis: Evidence From GWAS and Transcriptome Data.

AIMS: Numerous preclinical studies suggested that targeted inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) may be beneficial for the treatment of osteoporosis. However, the relevance of these findings to human populations remains unclear. We hypothesized that lifelong genetically higher mTOR expression leads to reduced bone mineral density (BMD), and we use Mendelian randomization to estimate its causal effect. BACKGROUND: We aimed to utilize existing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) data to comprehensively evaluate whether genetically p

Extra-axial cerebrospinal fluid in high-risk and normal-risk children with autism aged 2-4 years: a case-control study.

BACKGROUND: We previously showed, in two separate cohorts, that high-risk infants who were later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder had abnormally high extra-axial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume from age 6-24 months. The presence of increased extra-axial CSF volume preceded the onset of behavioural symptoms of autism and was predictive of a later diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. In this study, we aimed to establish whether increased extra-axial CSF volume is found in a large, independent sample of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, whether extra-axial CSF remains ab

A multi-dimensional bioinformatic dissection of the molecular mechanisms in high-BMI-associated colorectal cancer: identification and validation of EGLN1 as a key target.

BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents a major global health burden, and a high body mass index (BMI) has been established as an independent risk factor. Despite this clear epidemiological association, the complex molecular mechanisms driving CRC progression in the context of high BMI remain to be fully elucidated. This study aimed to systematically investigate the genetic association and potential molecular mechanisms between high BMI and CRC through a multi-dimensional bioinformatic integrative analysis and to identify key therapeutic targets. METHODS: This study integrated global b

Многоомичные биомаркеры, связанные с множественным склерозом: от менделианской случайности до прогнозирования наркотиков.

В настоящее время лечение и профилактика множественных склерозов (МС) по-прежнему сталкиваются с серьезными проблемами. Одним из важнейших методов проведения исследований в рамках реализации новых терапевтических стратегий стал менделийский анализ случайности (МСР). Соответственно, мы предполагаем, что существует причинно-следственная связь между генетическими вариантами конкретных плазменных белков и MS с помощью механизмов MR и что ключевые терапевтические цели можно точно определить путем интеграции многомерных аналитических подходов. В этом исследовании мы разработали всеобъемлющую аналити

Human IL-34 Deficiency Primes Microglia Toward Alzheimer's Disease-Associated States.

BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS), with independent replication in large European consortia, have identified a common nonsense variant in IL-34 (Y213X) as a genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the biological consequences of this IL-34 mutation in humans, its prevalence in the population, and the mechanisms by which IL-34-Y213X alters microglial homeostasis, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteomic networks, and amyloid pathology remain poorly understood. METHODS: We combined human genetics, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum proteomics, transcrip

GBA1 as a risk gene for osteoporosis in the specific populations and its role in the development of Gaucher disease.

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis and its primary complication, fragility fractures, contribute to substantial global morbidity and mortality. Gaucher disease (GD) is caused by glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) deficiency, leading to skeletal complications. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the GBA1 gene on osteoporosis progression in GD patients and the specific populations. METHODS: We selected 8115 patients with osteoporosis (T-score ≤ - 2.5) and 55,942 healthy individuals (T-score > - 1) from a clinical database (N = 95,223). Monocytes from GD patients were evaluated in relation to endoplasmic

Тип 1 Диабет и многоразовый склероз делятся общей генной переменой автономного иммунитета.

Справочная информация/цели: тип 1 диабет (T1D) и множественный склероз (MS) являются аутоиммунными, многофакторными, специфическими для органов расстройствами, обусловленными иммунными клетками. Их соучастие отчасти объясняется общими генетическими и экологическими факторами. Мы стремились расчленить общую генетическую архитектуру между T1D и MS с использованием крупномасштабных исследований по общегеномной ассоциации (GWAS) и анализа совместной локализации. Методы: Мы применили Байесовскую систему совместной локализации к two Крупномасштабные наборы данных GWAS: исследование T1D, включающее 1

Exploring new drug treatment targets for immune related bone diseases using a multi omics joint analysis strategy.

In the field of treatment and prevention of immune-related bone diseases, significant challenges persist, necessitating the urgent exploration of new and effective treatment methods. However, most existing Mendelian randomization (MR) studies are confined to a single analytical approach, which limits the comprehensive understanding of the pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets of these diseases. In light of this, we propose the hypothesis that genetic variations in specific plasma proteins have a causal relationship with immune-related bone diseases through the MR mechanism, and that k

Association of Genome-Wide Polygenic Scores for Multiple Psychiatric and Common Traits in Preadolescent Youths at Risk of Suicide.

IMPORTANCE: Suicide is the second leading cause of death among youths worldwide, but no available means exist to identify the risk of suicide in this population. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether genome-wide polygenic scores for psychiatric and common traits are associated with the risk of suicide among preadolescent children and to investigate whether and to what extent the interaction between early life stress (a major environmental risk factor) and polygenic factors is associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors among youths. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This cohort study analyzed th

A polygenic risk score for multiple myeloma risk prediction.

There is overwhelming epidemiologic evidence that the risk of multiple myeloma (MM) has a solid genetic background. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 23 risk loci that contribute to the genetic susceptibility of MM, but have low individual penetrance. Combining the SNPs in a polygenic risk score (PRS) is a possible approach to improve their usefulness. Using 2361 MM cases and 1415 controls from the International Multiple Myeloma rESEarch (IMMEnSE) consortium, we computed a weighted and an unweighted PRS. We observed associations with MM risk with OR = 3.44, 95% CI 2.53-4.6
