Abstract: Universal signatures represent generalizable features that are informative for generating predictions for different disease activities across different diseases. More specifically, one or more universal signatures are learned from data pertaining to a first disease indication and then applied to generate predictions for a one or more additional disease indications. The implementation of one or more universal signatures is useful for generating predictions for disease indications, such as disease indications involving rare or novel diseases, where it may be infeasible to develop a model due to insufficient training data.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for determining regions, domains, or amino acid residues of proteins that are intolerant to mutation. Also disclosed are applications for visualizing intolerant proteins regions, domains, and amino acid residues.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems, software and methods for diagnosis or prognosis of subjects for obesity or a disease related thereto, including, classification and treatment of subjects who have been diagnosed with or deemed at risk of having obesity. The methods are based, in part, on the detection of the levels or activities of a plurality of metabolites or their derivatives, such as levels of amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and/or cofactors, in the subject's biological sample, e.g., blood.

Abstract: A probiotic composition comprises an effective amount of a combination of bacteria, wherein the combination of bacteria comprises certain at least one bacterium A selected from the Bacteroidetes phylum and certain at least one bacterium B selected from the Firmicutes phylum.

Abstract: Described are genomic health risk metrics elaborated herein to hold significant advantages for the health care industry. The likelihood that any given GSV will be deleterious is relatively small. Since every human genome sequenced may result in several million GSVs, the advantage of a genomic health risk metric such as a tolerability score, an n-mer score, a context dependent tolerance score, or a protein tolerability score to clinicians is that it will allow them to focus on and prioritize deleterious mutations.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, media, and methods for providing a genomic search engine application comprising: a plurality of indices, recorded in the computer storage, the indices comprising tokenized genomic data; a software module providing an indexing pipeline, the indexing pipeline ingesting genomic data and annotation associated with the genomic data, tokenizing the data while preserving gene names and gene variant names, and updating the indices with the tokenized data; and a software module presenting a user interface allowing a user to enter a user query; a software module providing a query engine, the query engine accepting the user query, selecting one or more relevant indices, and applying a ranking formula to the selected indices to return ranked results.

Abstract: In this invention, we propose privacy-enhancing technologies for medical tests and personalized medicine methods, which utilize patients' genomic data. Assuming the whole genome sequencing is done by a certified institution, we propose to store patients' genomic data encrypted by a patient's public keys at a Storage and Processing Unit (SPU). A part of the corresponding private key is also stored on the SPU. At the time of the test by a Medical Unit (MU), the patient provides the second part of the private key to the MU. A test with its associated markers is determined by the MU and sent to the SPU. The test is carried out on the encrypted values thanks to homomorphic operation and returned back to the MU. The latter uses the second part of the private key to access the result.

Abstract: A privacy-preserving method for performing a disease susceptibility test on a patient, said method comprising: (I) performing homomorphic computations, (J) obtaining a test result which is partly decrypted with a first part (prk1 resp. prk2) of a private key, (L) decrypting said partly decrypted result with a second part (prk2 resp. prk1) of said private key, wherein said homomorphic computations are based on encrypted genomic markers of the patient, on encrypted clinical and/or environmental markers, and on encrypted ancestry markers of the patient. The invention is also related to a method for inferring ancestry in the encrypted domain.

Abstract: A nucleotide sequence encoding a katG/lacZ fusion protein is useful for assaying the enzymatic activity of the katG gene product. A process of selecting a compound that is toxic against an isoniazid-resistant mycobaterial strain comprises incubating a catalase peroxidase enzyme with an isoniazid to produce a compound that restores isoniazid susceptability to the isoniazid-resistant mycobaterial strain.
