Revolutionizing Genomics with Reinforcement Learning Techniques

In recent years, Reinforcement Learning (RL) has emerged as a powerful tool for solving a wide range of problems, including decision-making and genomics. The exponential growth of raw genomic data over the past two decades has exceeded the capacity of manual analysis, leading to a growing interest in automatic data analysis and processing. RL algorithms are capable of learning from experience with minimal human supervision, making them well-suited for genomic data analysis and interpretation. One of the key benefits of using RL is the reduced cost associated with collecting labeled training data, which is required for supervised learning. While there have been numerous studies examining the applications of Machine Learning (ML) in genomics, this survey focuses exclusively on the use of RL in various genomics research fields, including gene regulatory networks (GRNs), genome assembly, and sequence alignment. We present a comprehensive technical overview of existing studies on the application of RL in genomics, highlighting the strengths and limitations of these approaches. We then discuss potential research directions that are worthy of future exploration, including the development of more sophisticated reward functions as RL heavily depends on the accuracy of the reward function, the integration of RL with other machine learning techniques, and the application of RL to new and emerging areas in genomics research. Finally, we present our findings and conclude by summarizing the current state of the field and the future outlook for RL in genomics.

Large Language Model Agents for Evidence Based Genetic Disease Severity Classification

Disease severity classification for genetic conditions is subjective and labor-intensive, creating bottlenecks in genomic screening, where commercial panels vary widely in size and overlap. We developed an autonomous AI agent integrating Reasoning and Acting (ReAct) with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to classify 10,211 Human Phenotype Ontology terms. It uses American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG)-endorsed severity guidelines and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) quality-of-life criteria to retrieve PubMed literature, generate interpretable reasoning chains, and independently verify claims. At the phenotype level, using expert-curated cohorts, the agent achieved 93.55% accuracy (MCC 0.9237) with 82.6% to 91.4% of claims supported by direct evidence or valid inferences. Gene-level severity was aggregated across 8,738 pairs, identifying 3,283 autosomal recessive pairs with severe or profound presentations. External validation showed 95.2% concordance with Mackenzie's Mission gene list. This system enables standardized panel design by providing reliable, automated classification supported by direct evidence.

A Q-learning-based QoS-aware multipath routing protocol in IoMT-based wireless body area network

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) enables intelligent healthcare services but faces challenges such as dynamic topology, energy constraints, and diverse QoS requirements. This paper proposes QQMR, a Q-learning-based QoS-aware multipath routing method for WBANs. QQMR classifies data into three priority levels and employs adaptive multi-level queuing and fuzzy C-means clustering to optimize routing decisions. It maintains separate learning policies for each data type and selects primary and backup paths accordingly. Experimental results demonstrate improved packet delivery ratio and significant reductions in delay, routing overhead, and energy consumption compared to existing methods.

MS-DKC: A Dataset Knowledge Card Framework for Designing and Adapting Medical Image Segmentation Models

Medical image segmentation is often framed as a search for stronger architectures, but this can obscure a more fundamental question: what does the dataset require from the model? In medical imaging, this requirement is shaped by foreground occupancy, morphology, boundary ambiguity, topology sensitivity, annotation quality, acquisition variation, and operating point. This paper introduces the Medical Segmentation Dataset Knowledge Card (MS-DKC), a framework for making these factors explicit. MS-DKC records dataset evidence through image/acquisition, morphology, supervision, context-dependence, and deployment-risk descriptors. These descriptors are mapped to failure modes, design priors, and risk-aligned criteria, making segmentation design more traceable than architecture-first comparison. We evaluate MS-DKC on DRIVE, ISIC2018, and ACDC, representing distinct regimes. DRIVE contains sparse, thin, branching vessels, favoring detail-preserving models, sensitivity-aware optimization, threshold analysis, and topology-aware metrics. DKC-TNet-v2 achieved Dice 0.8044 and IoU 0.6730 with 35103 parameters, while SA-UNetv2-DKC-AmbRef reached Dice 0.8141, IoU 0.6865, sensitivity 0.8265, specificity 0.9804, and AUC 0.9853. ISIC2018 involves compact but appearance-variable lesions; validation-constrained score-function selection on Att-Next-Topo/ATTNext produced MS-DKC-AttNextTopo-VCSF-NoAug with Dice 0.8872, IoU 0.8214, precision 0.9173, Boundary F1 0.4878, and ASSD 4.13, while plausible additions failed to improve the risk-aligned profile. ACDC provides a multi-class cardiac case, where MS-DKC recommends four-class softmax segmentation, class-balanced Dice/CE supervision, and class-wise surface evaluation. Overall, the results support dataset-conditioned design: different datasets require different priors, operating points, and evidence before a model can be judged appropriate.

Focal Modulation and Bidirectional Feature Fusion Network for Medical Image Segmentation

Medical image segmentation is essential for clinical applications such as disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and disease development monitoring because it provides precise morphological and spatial information on anatomical structures that directly influence treatment decisions. Convolutional neural networks significantly impact image segmentation; however, since convolution operations are local, capturing global contextual information and long-range dependencies is still challenging. Their capacity to precisely segment structures with complicated borders and a variety of sizes is impacted by this restriction. Since transformers use self-attention methods to capture global context and long-range dependencies efficiently, integrating transformer-based architecture with CNNs is a feasible approach to overcoming these challenges. To address these challenges, we propose the Focal Modulation and Bidirectional Feature Fusion Network for Medical Image Segmentation, referred to as FM-BFF-Net in the remainder of this paper. The network combines convolutional and transformer components, employs a focal modulation attention mechanism to refine context awareness, and introduces a bidirectional feature fusion module that enables efficient interaction between encoder and decoder representations across scales. Through this design, FM-BFF-Net enhances boundary precision and robustness to variations in lesion size, shape, and contrast. Extensive experiments on eight publicly available datasets, including polyp detection, skin lesion segmentation, and ultrasound imaging, show that FM-BFF-Net consistently surpasses recent state-of-the-art methods in Jaccard index and Dice coefficient, confirming its effectiveness and adaptability for diverse medical imaging scenarios.
