Cipherome
(Deciphering personal genome)
The Cipherome is a project to
establish systematic infrastructures and develop computational methods
for interpreting personal genome variations. In this project, we expect
to evaluate the phenotypic effects of sequence variations, especially
private variation wherein the variation is unique to an individual or a
family.
- Establishing systematic infrastructures for interpreting personal
genome variations.
[Pipelining for sequence variant analysis]
[Disease risk prediction
service]
- Interpreting personal genome variations using
gene-disease-environment interaction network analysis.
This study found the
relationship of disease, genetic factors and environment as etiological
factors using literature data and make interaction network up. The
network gives information of etiology and it can help to interpret
personal genome data.
- The development of priority weighting approach for
disease-environment interaction based on personal genome
Both genetic and
environmental factors contributed to chronic diseases. Individuals who
are genetically susceptible to the environmental exposure should
increase the magnitude of relative risk in chronic diseases. So, this
research develops priority weighting approach for disease-environment
interaction based on personal genome. Taking account of
diseases-environment interactions considered personal genome can have
important implications for public health and personalized medicine and
provide behavior modification for high-priority environment exposure to
prevent relevant to diseases.
- Establishing phenotypic signatures to infer relevant phenotypic
characteristics using semantic similarity calculation.
Many human diseases
and traits are influenced by genetic factors, but the known genetic
variations explain only a small proportion of trait heritability. Here
we demonstrate that genomic data can be interpreted through knowledge
data. First we construct a Phenotypic Semantic map using Phenopedia and
Unified Medical Language System(UMLS). Then, we find signature
differences in the phenotypes in certain group of cases by using
knowledge of their genetic variation on semantic map. Lastly, we
confirm that similar traits are clustered in phenotypes which have
shorter distances among controlled vocabularies.
- Mining drug-drug interaction using annotated pharmacogenomic
phenotype and UMLS.
Personal drug
response is important prediction test. Unfortunately, Drug-Drug
interactions does not adapted for personalized medicine. So, We will
find novel drug-drug interactions using relation of pharmacogenomic
phenotypes in the literature. This work help to report personalized
drug-drug interactions and to reduce the drug accidents.
