Recent deep learning (DL) models predict average gene expression levels from DNA sequences with high overall correlation to measured values. We examine these DL models through the lens of disease research. The seemingly high overall performance of DL models is largely due to capturing whether genes are “On” or “Off”, a...

Hearing loss (HL) is a major modifiable risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the relationship between hearing loss and cognitive decline as influenced by common biological factors, i.e. genetic predisposition, is not fully understood. Furthermore, auditory...

By analyzing associations between community-level factors and inflammation-related proteins, this study provides new molecular insights into how social context may relate to biological risk, identifies proteomic patterns that could inform the development of community-level interventions, and underscores the utility of...
