Abstract: Genome-wide association studies may allow for detection of variants that are statistically significantly associated with disease risk. However, inferring which are the genes underlying these variant associations may be difficult. The presently disclosed approaches utilize machine learning techniques to predict genes from genome-wide association study summary statistics that substantially improves causal gene identification in terms of both precision and recall compared to other techniques.

Abstract: An illustrative optical measurement system includes a light source configured to emit light directed at a target, an array of photodetectors configured to detect photons of the light after the light is scattered by the target, and a processing unit configured to measure a noise level of a photodetector included in the array of photodetectors, the noise level comprising a dark count rate that measures a dark count divided by a time period, determine that the noise level meets a predetermined threshold comprising a dark count rate threshold, and prevent, based on the determining that the noise level meets the predetermined threshold, an output of the photodetector from being used in generating a histogram based on a temporal distribution of photons detected by the array of photodetectors, the preventing comprising switching the output to a monitoring circuit that monitors a characteristic of the optical measurement system separate from the photodetector.
