(author), Holstege, H. (author)Human longevity is influenced by the genetic risk of age-related diseases. As Alzheimer’s disease (AD) represents a common condition at old age, an interplay between genetic factors affecting AD and longevity is expected. We explored this interplay by studying the prevalence of AD-associated single-nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) in...journal article 2021

van den Bent, Irene (author), Makrodimitris, S. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author)Computationally annotating proteins with a molecular function is a difficult problem that is made even harder due to the limited amount of available labeled protein training data. Unsupervised protein embeddings partly circumvent this limitation by learning a universal protein representation from many unlabeled sequences. Such embeddings...journal article 2021

(author), Hoeben, Rob (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author)The maintenance of pancreatic islet architecture is crucial for proper β-cell function. We previously reported that disruption of human islet integrity could result in altered β-cell identity. Here we combine β-cell lineage tracing and single-cell transcriptomics to investigate the mechanisms underlying this process in primary human islet...journal article 2021

Michielsen, L.C.M. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author), Mahfouz, A.M.E.T.A. (author)Supervised methods are increasingly used to identify cell populations in single-cell data. Yet, current methods are limited in their ability to learn from multiple datasets simultaneously, are hampered by the annotation of datasets at different resolutions, and do not preserve annotations when retrained on new datasets. The latter point is...journal article 2021

(author), de Ridder, Dick (author), Megens, Hendrik-Jan (author), Groenen, Martien A.M. (author)The genotype-phenotype link is a major research topic in the life sciences but remains highly complex to disentangle. Part of the complexity arises from the number of genes contributing to the observed phenotype. Despite the vast increase of molecular data, pinpointing the causal variant underlying a phenotype of interest is still challenging...journal article 2021

(author), Mahfouz, A.M.E.T.A. (author)Structural covariance networks are able to identify functionally organized brain regions by gray matter volume covariance across a population. We examined the transcriptomic signature of such anatomical networks in the healthy brain using postmortem microarray data from the Allen Human Brain Atlas. A previous study revealed that a posterior...journal article 2021

Yu, W. (author), Mahfouz, A.M.E.T.A. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author)The power of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) in detecting cell heterogeneity or developmental process is becoming more and more evident every day. The granularity of this knowledge is further propelled when combining two batches of scRNA-seq into a single large dataset. This strategy is however hampered by technical differences between...journal article 2021

Here, we compared immune signatures of malaria-naive Europeans and of Africans with lifelong malaria exposure using mass cytometry, RNA sequencing and data integration, before...journal article 2021

(author)The recent boom in microfluidics and combinatorial indexing strategies, combined with low sequencing costs, has empowered single-cell sequencing technology. Thousands-or even millions-of cells analyzed in a single experiment amount to a data revolution in single-cell biology and pose unique data science problems. Here, we outline eleven...review 2020

Mokveld, T.O. (author), Linthorst, J. (author), Al-Ars, Z. (author), Holstege, H. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author)The practical use of graph-based reference genomes depends on the ability to align reads to them. Performing substring queries to paths through these graphs lies at the core of this task. The combination of increasing pattern length and encoded variations inevitably leads to a combinatorial explosion of the search space. Instead of heuristic...journal article 2020

(author)Motivation: Protein function prediction is a difficult bioinformatics problem. Many recent methods use deep neural networks to learn complex sequence representations and predict function from these. Deep supervised models require a lot of labeled training data which are not available for this task. However, a very large amount of protein...journal article 2020

Makrodimitris, S. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author), van Ham, R.C.H.J. (author)Physical interaction between two proteins is strong evidence that the proteins are involved in the same biological process, making Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) networks a valuable data resource for predicting the cellular functions of proteins. However, PPI networks are largely incomplete for non-model species. Here, we tested to what...journal article 2020

(author)Background: In animal breeding, identification of causative genetic variants is of major importance and high economical value. Usually, the number of candidate variants exceeds the number of variants that can be validated. One way of prioritizing probable candidates is by evaluating their potential to have a deleterious effect, e.g. by...journal article 2020
