Muhanad Tuameh

Machine learning for scientific data, from genome curation to tissue images and language.

I am an Informatics and Digital Associate at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, building machine learning for genome curation. I work with large data, train and compare model architectures, and present results clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

Genome curation

Predicting neighbouring genome fragments and the ends that connect them, using contact images and graph learning.

Explore Genome curation
Genome curation, step by step1. Contact map: Hi-C contacts between eight genome fragments from a real sample. Darker red means more contact. 2. Pair features: Each candidate pair’s contact patch and its four corner crops pass through a frozen ViT-MAE, one vector per view. With four pair scalars, they describe that pair. 3. Fragment graph: The 14 candidate pairs become edges carrying those features. Each fragment becomes a node with six fragment properties. 4. Graph model: A graph neural network passes messages between neighbouring fragments along the edges. 5. Join scores: The model scores how likely each pair is to be direct neighbours. 6. Compatible paths: Strong joins are kept only if their ends are free. F01–F02 loses because one of its ends is already taken, leaving two paths. 7. Reassembled map: Fragments are reordered and flipped along the paths.
