Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing scientific discovery because of its super capability, following the neural scaling laws, to integrate and analyze large-scale datasets to mine knowledge. Foundation models, large language models (LLMs) and large vision models (LVMs), are among the most important foundations paving the way for general AI by pre-training on massive domain-specific datasets. Different from the well annotated, formatted and integrated large textual and image datasets for LLMs and LVMs, biomedical knowledge and datasets are fragmented with data scattered across publications and inconsistent databases that often use diverse nomenclature systems in the field of AI for Precision Health and Medicine (AI4PHM).

Triglyceride (TG)/HDL-C ratio (THR) is a surrogate predictor of hyperinsulinemia. To identify novel genetic loci for THR change over time (ΔTHR), we conducted genome-wide association study (GWAS) and genome-wide linkage scan (GWLS) among nondiabetic Europeans from the Long Life Family Study (n = 1,384). Subjects with diabetes or on dyslipidemia medications were excluded.

Motivation: Multi-omics data, i.e. genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, characterize cellular complex signaling systems from multi-level and multi-view and provide a holistic view of complex cellular signaling pathways.

Article Synopsis
  • A randomized controlled trial was conducted in Bangladesh on children aged 12-18 months, comparing a microbiome-directed complementary food (MDCF-2) with a calorically dense standard food, revealing better weight-for-length improvement in those treated with MDCF-2.
  • The study also found significant protein and microbiome changes associated with the recovery process, suggesting potential biomarkers for treatment response and the need for further research on MDCF efficacy.

Multi-omic data can better characterize complex cellular signaling pathways from multiple views compared to individual omic data. However, integrative multi-omic data analysis to rank key disease biomarkers and infer core signaling pathways remains an open problem. In this study, our novel contributions are that we developed a novel graph AI model, , for analyzing multi-omic signaling graphs (mosGraphs), 2) analyzed multi-omic mosGraph datasets of AD, and 3) identified, visualized and evaluated a set of AD associated signaling biomarkers and network.
