Background Rare diseases can be difficult to diagnose due to limited patient data and broad genetic diversity. Despite the advances in variant prioritization tools, many rare disease cases remain undiagnosed. While large language models (LLMs) have performed well in medical exams, their accuracy in diagnosing rare genetic diseases has not yet been evaluated. Methods To identify causal genes for genetic diseases, we benchmarked various LLMs for gene prioritization. We employed multi-agent and Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) classification approaches to identify patient case groups based on phenotypes categorizing them into different levels of solvability. To address LLM limitations in ranking large gene sets, we used a divide-and-conquer strategy to break down the ranking task into smaller subsets. Mini-batching inputs and limiting the number of generated tokens improved efficiency. Results In its vanilla form, GPT-4 consistently outperformed the other LLMs with an accuracy around 30%. Multi-agent and HPO classification approaches aided us in distinguishing between confidently-solved and challenging cases. In addition, we observed bias towards well-studied genes and input order sensitivity which are drawbacks of LLMs in disease-causal gene prioritization. Our divide-and-conquer strategy enhanced accuracy by overcoming positional and gene frequency biases in literature. This framework, based on benchmarking insights and novel techniques, significantly optimizes the overall process when identifying disease-causal genes for genetic diseases when compared to our baseline evaluation, and thereby better enables the development of targeted diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Conclusions Using HPO classification and our novel multi-agent techniques, and our LLM divide-and-conquer strategy (1) highlighted the importance of accounting for differences in patient case solvability and (2) yielded improved performance in identifying causal genes for rare diseases when compare

Proximity-induced equilibrium supercurrent and perfect superconducting diode effect due to band asymmetry

Physical Review B 2023年第9期108卷 094513-094513页

We theoretically investigate the consequences of proximity-induced conventional superconductivity in metals that break time-reversal and inversion symmetries through their energy dispersion. We discover behaviors impossible in an isolated superconductor such as an equilibrium supercurrent that apparently violates a no-go theorem and, at suitable topological defects, nonconservation of electric charge reminiscent of the chiral anomaly. The equilibrium supercurrent is expected to be trainable by a helical electromagnetic field in the normal state. Remarkably, if the band asymmetry exceeds the critical current of the parent superconductor in appropriate units, we predict a perfect superconducting diode effect with diode coefficient unity. We propose toroidal metals such as UNi4B and metals with directional scalar spin chiral order as potential platforms.

Starting at middle age, adults often suffer from visceral adiposity and associated adverse metabolic disorders. Lineage tracing in mice revealed that adipose progenitor cells (APCs) in visceral fat undergo extensive adipogenesis during middle age. Thus, despite the low turnover rate of adipocytes in young adults, adipogenesis is unlocked during middle age. Transplantations quantitatively showed that APCs in middle-aged mice exhibited high adipogenic capacity cell-autonomously. Single-cell RNA sequencing identified a distinct APC population, the committed preadipocyte, age-enriched (CP-A), emerging at this age. CP-As demonstrated elevated proliferation and adipogenesis activity. Pharmacological and genetic manipulations indicated that leukemia inhibitory factor receptor signaling was indispensable for CP-A adipogenesis and visceral fat expansion. These findings uncover a fundamental mechanism of age-dependent adipose remodeling, offering critical insights into age-related metabolic diseases.

Regulatory DNA provides a platform for transcription factor binding to encode cell-type-specific patterns of gene expression. However, the effects and programmability of regulatory DNA sequences remain difficult to map or predict. Here, we develop variant effects from flow-sorting experiments with CRISPR targeting screens (Variant-EFFECTS) to introduce hundreds of designed edits to endogenous regulatory DNA and quantify their effects on gene expression. We systematically dissect and reprogram 3 regulatory elements for 2 genes in 2 cell types. These data reveal endogenous binding sites with effects specific to genomic context, transcription factor motifs with cell-type-specific activities, and limitations of computational models for predicting the effect sizes of variants. We identify small edits that can tune gene expression over a large dynamic range, suggesting new possibilities for prime-editing-based therapeutics targeting regulatory DNA. Variant-EFFECTS provides a generalizable tool to dissect regulatory DNA and to identify genome editing reagents that tune gene expression in an endogenous context. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.

Patients with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) are usually diagnosed with advanced-stage disease, and the tumors often have immunosuppressive characteristics. Together, these factors are important for disease progression, drug resistance, and mortality. In this study, we used a combination of single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to identify the molecular mechanisms that lead to immunosuppression in HGSC. Primary tumors consistently showed a more active immune microenvironment than did omental tumors. In addition, we found that untreated primary tumors were mostly populated by dysfunctional CD4 and CD8 T cells in later stages of differentiation;this, in turn, was correlated with expression changes in the interferon α and γ pathways in epithelial cells, showing that cross-communication between the epithelial and immune compartments is important for immune suppression in HGSC. These findings could have implications for the design of clinical trials with immune-modulating drugs. © The Author(s) 2025.

We are pleased to introduce a first-of-its-kind tool that combines in-silico region detection and missing value estimation for spatially resolved transcriptomics. Spatial transcriptomics by 10X Visium (ST) is a new technology used to dissect gene and cell spatial organization. Analyzing this new type of data has two main challenges: automatically annotating the major tissue regions and excessive zero values of gene expression due to high dropout rates. We developed a computational tool—MIST—that addresses both challenges by automatically identifying tissue regions and estimating missing gene-expression values for each detected region. We validated MIST detected regions across multiple datasets using manual annotation on the histological staining images as references. We also demonstrated that MIST can accurately recover ST’s missing values through hold-out experiments. Furthermore, we showed that MIST could identify intra-tissue heterogeneity and recover spatial gene-gene co-expression signals. We therefore strongly encourage using MIST before downstream ST analysis because it provides unbiased region annotations and enables accurately denoised spatial gene-expression profiles. © 2021, CC BY.

Identification of evolutionarily stable functional and immunogenic sites across the SARS-CoV-2 proteome and the greater coronavirus family

Since the first recognized case of COVID-19, more than 100 million people have been infected worldwide. Global efforts in drug and vaccine development to fight the disease have yielded vaccines and drug candidates to cure COVID-19. However, the spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants threatens the continued efficacy of these treatments. In order to address this, we interrogate the evolutionary history of the entire SARS-CoV-2 proteome to identify evolutionarily conserved functional sites that can inform the search for treatments with broader coverage across the coronavirus family. Combining this information with the mutations observed in the current COVID-19 outbreak, we systematically and comprehensively define evolutionarily stable sites that may provide useful drug and vaccine targets and which are less likely to be compromised by the emergence of new virus strains. Several experimentally-validated effective drugs interact with these proposed target sites. In addition, the same evolutionary information can prioritize cross reactive antigens that are useful in directing multi-epitope vaccine strategies to illicit broadly neutralizing immune responses to the betacoronavirus family. Although the results are focused on SARS-CoV-2, these approaches stem from evolutionary principles that are agnostic to the organism or infective agent. © 2020, CC BY.
