Abstract

Aim: The epigenome influences gene regulation and phenotypes in response to exposures. Epigenome assessment can determine exposure history aiding in diagnosis. Materials & methods: Here we developed and implemented a machine learning algorithm, the exposure signature discovery algorithm (ESDA), to identify the most important features present in multiple epigenomic and transcriptomic datasets to produce an integrated exposure signature (ES). Results: Signatures were developed for seven exposures including Staphylococcus aureus, human immunodeficiency virus, SARS-CoV-2, influenza A (H3N2) virus and Bacillus anthracis vaccinations. ESs differed in the assays and features selected and predictive value. Conclusion: Integrated ESs can potentially be utilized for diagnosis or forensic attribution. The ESDA identifies the most distinguishing features enabling diagnostic panel development for future precision health deployment.
