Abstract Background. Assembly and function of neuronal synapses require the coordinated expression of a yet undetermined set of genes. Previously, we had trained an ensemble machine learning model to assign a probability of having synaptic function to every protein-coding gene in Drosophila melanogaster. This approach resulted in the publication of a catalogue of 893 genes that was postulated to be very enriched in genes with still undocumented synaptic functions. Since then, the scientific community has experimentally identified 79 new synaptic genes. Here we used these new empirical data to evaluate the predictive power of the catalogue. Then we implemented a series of improvements to the training scheme and the ensemble rules of our model and added the new synaptic genes to the training set, to obtain a new, enhanced catalogue of putative synaptic genes. Results. The retrospective analysis demonstrated that our original catalogue was indeed highly enriched in genes with unknown synaptic function. The changes to the training scheme and the ensemble rules resulted in a catalogue with better predictive power. Finally, training this improved model with an updated training set, that includes all the new synaptic genes, we obtained a new, enhanced catalogue of putative synaptic genes, which we present here announcing a regularly updated version that will be available online at: http://synapticgenes.bnd.edu.uy Conclusions. We show that training a machine learning model solely with the whole-body temporal transcription profiles of known synaptic genes resulted in a catalogue with a significant enrichment in undiscovered synaptic genes. Using new empirical data, we validated our original approach, improved our model an obtained a better catalogue. The utility of this approach is that it reduces the number of genes to be tested through hypothesis-driven experimentation.

Abstract BackgroundThe novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads rapidly among people and causes a global pandemic. It is of great clinical significance to identify COVID-19 patients with high risk of death.ResultsOf the 2,169 COVID-19 patients, the median age was 61 years and male patients accounted for 48%. A total of 646 patients were diagnosed with severe illness, and 75 patients died. Obvious differences in demographics, clinical characteristics and laboratory examinations were found between survivors and non-survivors. A decision tree classifier, including three biomarkers, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, C-reactive protein and lactic dehydrogenase, was developed to predict death outcome in severe patients. This model performed well both in train dataset and test dataset. The accuracy of this model was 0.98 and 0.98, respectively.ConclusionThe machine learning model was robust and effective in predicting the death outcome in severe COVID-19 patients.
