Summary: Gap-filling is a necessary step to produce quality genome-scale metabolic reconstructions capable of flux-balance simulation. Most available gap-filling tools use an organism-agnostic approach, where reactions are selected from a database to fill gaps without consideration of the target organism. Conversely, our likelihood based gap-filling with probabilistic annotations selects candidate reactions based on a likelihood score derived specifically from the target organism's genome. Here, we present two new implementations of probabilistic annotation and likelihood based gap-filling: a web service called ProbAnnoWeb, and a standalone python package called ProbAnnoPy.
Availability And Implementation: Our tools are available as a web service with no installation needed (ProbAnnoWeb) at probannoweb.systemsbiology.net, and as a local python package implementation (ProbAnnoPy) at github.com/PriceLab/probannopy.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is considered the most widespread chronic liver condition globally. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have pinpointed several genetic loci correlated to MASLD, yet the biological significance of these loci remains poorly understood. Initially, we applied Functional Mapping and Annotation (FUMA) to conduct a functional annotation of the MASLD GWAS summary statistics, which included data from 3242 cases and 707 631 controls.

This study aimed to develop an automatic segmentation method for brainstem fiber bundles. We utilized the brainstem as a seed region for probabilistic tractography based on multishell, multitissue constrained spherical deconvolution in 40 subjects from the Human Connectome Project (HCP). All tractography data were registered into a common space to construct a brainstem fiber cluster atlas.

The increasing availability of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has begun to elucidate the contribution of rare variants (RVs), both coding and non-coding, to complex disease. Multiple RV association tests are available to study the relationship between genotype and phenotype, but most are restricted to per-gene models and do not fully leverage the availability of variant-level functional annotations. We propose Genome-wide Rare Variant EnRichment Evaluation (gruyere), a Bayesian probabilistic model that complements existing methods by learning global, trait-specific weights for functional annotations to improve variant prioritization.

Foot-and-mouth disease poses a significant threat to both domestic and wild cloven-hoofed animals, leading to severe economic losses and jeopardizing food security. While machine learning models have become essential for predicting foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks, their effectiveness is often compromised by distribution shifts between training and target datasets, especially in non-stationary environments. Despite the critical impact of these shifts, their implications in foot-and-mouth disease outbreak prediction have been largely overlooked.

Non-B DNA structures, or flipons, are important functional elements that regulate a large spectrum of cellular programs. Experimental technologies for flipon detection are limited to the subsets that are active at the time of an experiment and cannot capture whole-genome functional set. Thus, the task of generating reliable whole-genome annotations of non-B DNA structures is put on deep learning models, however their quality depends on the available experimental data for training.
