Omani research team uses AI to detect genetic heart disorders

Muscat: A groundbreaking research initiative has made significant progress in identifying the genetic causes of cardiomyopathy in the Sultanate of Oman. The study, titled 'Implementation of Machine Learning Approach to Predict Pathogenicity of Genetic Variants Associated with Cardiomyopathy,' utilises Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) methodologies to investigate the underlying genetic contributors to this complex heart condition. The research was led by Dr. Ahmed Al Amri, Consultant of Molecular Genetics Lab and Head of Training and Professional Staff Development at the National Genetics Centre of the Royal Hospital. Cardiomyopathy, a heterogeneous group of myocardial disorders, remains a significant health burden worldwide. In the Sultanate of Oman, the genetic basis of the disease has been insufficiently characterised, hindering effective diagnosis and intervention. This study aimed to bridge that gap by conducting genetic analysis on a cohort of Omani families affected by cardiomyopathy. Dr. Ahmed Al Amri explained that central to the research is the development of a novel AI-based analysis model called 'CardioVar.' This model is designed to enhance the interpretation of WES data through the integration of more than 50,000 genetic variants and mutations linked to cardiomyopathy, supported by multiple AI algorithms to ensure analytical precision. The research project achieved a diagnostic success rate of over 80%, uncovering both known and previously unreported genetic mutations, some of which involve genes not previously linked to cardiomyopathy. These findings offer valuable insight into the genetic landscape of the disease within the Omani population and present new opportunities for further research to confirm the clinical relevance of novel variants. The AI model significantly improved both the speed and accuracy of genetic analysis, demonstrating its practical value in overcoming the limitations of traditional sequencing approaches. Dr. Al Amri emphasised that this approach not only advances the understanding of the genetic basis of cardiomyopathy in the Sultanate of Oman but also provides a scalable framework for implementing AI in genomic medicine, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and personalised care. The multidisciplinary research team included Dr. Ahmed Al Amri, Dr. Aisha Al Balushi, Nibras Al Mahrami, Dr. Musallam Al Ariami, Dr. Nadia Al Hashimi, Dr. Mohammed Al Rawahi, Dr. Tuqa Al Lawati, Dr. Bushra Al Shamsi, Dr. Fahad Al Hattali, and Ms. Mashael Al Balushi. Together, they have contributed to a practical model that blends clinical knowledge, laboratory science, and artificial intelligence to achieve high-impact results. This research not only advances the scientific understanding of inherited cardiomyopathy in the Sultanate of Oman but also exemplifies how AI can transform genetic diagnostics. It stands as a national model for the integration of precision medicine into routine clinical care, with plans to expand the study to include other hereditary heart conditions and incorporate its findings into everyday healthcare practices.

Rare sighting: Over 300 endangered Egyptian vultures spotted in North Al Sharqiyah

Muscat: The Environment Authority in North Al Sharqiyah Governorate today documented a significant sighting of over 300 endangered Egyptian vultures in the Wilayat of Dima Wattayyen. Saif bin Habib Al Naabi, Environmental Systems Supervisor at the Environment Authority in North Al Sharqiyah Governorate, described this as one of the largest recorded sightings of this species in the region. He emphasized the environmental importance of the Sultanate of Oman as a vital habitat for both migratory and resident birds. Al Naabi explained that the Egyptian vulture, scientifically known as Neophron percnopterus, is classified as a globally threatened species, primarily due to habitat loss and poaching. Environmental experts confirm that this unusually large gathering is a strong indicator of the success of environmental conservation efforts within the Sultanate. This phenomenon is considered a positive sign of the rich wildlife diversity in North Al Sharqiyah Governorate, further bolstering efforts to preserve the ecosystems that support such species. This monitoring effort is part of the Environment Authority's ongoing commitment to biodiversity monitoring. The frequent documentation of rare bird species across Oman's governorates solidifies the Sultanate's growing reputation as a destination for ecotourism and scientific research.

Astronomical landscape in Oman: Towards a renewed community culture and scientific vision

Muscat — The Sultanate of Oman is home to numerous astronomical observatories dedicated to studying celestial phenomena and promoting astronomical knowledge. Among them is Al Saa'a 'the clock Observatory in Muscat Governorate, used for studying the movement of planets and stars and serving as an educational center for students and astronomy enthusiasts. Given the importance of this field, Oman Astronomical Society plays crucial roles in enhancing astronomical awareness. These include education and outreach, with the Society offering regular lectures and workshops on various astronomical topics, organizing events such as astronomical observation nights, and fostering scientific research. The Society encourages scientific research in astronomy and helps provide necessary resources for researchers and interested individuals. Its roles also include collaborating with educational institutions, working with schools and universities to enhance astronomy-related curricula, participating in global events like "World Space Week," and publishing astronomical materials, which serve as educational resources for enthusiasts. Astronomy has long received widespread attention from Omanis, playing a pivotal role in daily life. Through it, they organized their affairs, including travel, agriculture, and fishing. For instance, to divide falaj water during the day, they developed the "solar sundial" system, locally known as "Al-Lamd." This system relies on the movement of the shadow of a gnomon (made of iron, wood, or stone) from sunrise to sunset, serving as a timekeeper for farmers' shares of falaj water during the day. This was called "day lecture," distinguishing it from "night lecture," which always referred to using stars to complete the water distribution process in the evening. These stars are known among farmers, numbering around 24 in some wilayats and 26 in others, with this number sometimes increasing in exceptional cases. Examples of these stars include Al-Sarrah Al-Oula, Al-Sarrah Al-Thaniya, Al-Kawi, Aldebaran, Al-Miyathib, Al-Dhulmi, and others. To ensure accuracy in water distribution, farmers identified the star "Al-Munsif," whose appearance signals the halfway point of the "athar," the unit used for dividing falaj water, equivalent to approximately half an hour. The terraced agriculture in mountainous regions like Al Jabal Al Akhdar is a testament to the optimal utilization of solar radiation angles, contributing to the diversity of crops based on pre-determined measurements. In the maritime domain, Omanis were renowned as ship captains. Ahmed bin Majid Al Saadi and Nasser bin Ali Al Khadhouri are just two examples among thousands of sailors and navigators who meticulously documented their knowledge of routes, stars, and seasons for fishing and travel. They used stars as guides in the darkness of the sea and as timings for travel and fishing seasons. They also understood "sea strikes," a term used in Omani and Gulf popular culture to describe violent or sudden marine phenomena that cause disturbances in sea waters, such as strong waves, powerful currents, or sea storms. Sailors would not venture into the sea for travel or fishing during these times, which they identified by the rising or setting of certain stars. Among the most important "strikes" known to ancient Omanis is "Dharbat Al-Ahaimar," a star with a reddish hue. This leads to disagreement about the exact identity of this star; some consider "Al-Ahaimar" to be the star "Antares" in the constellation Scorpius, while others believe it is "Arcturus" in the constellation Boötes, both of which rise at the same time. Other known strikes include "Dharbat Al-Shali," which is the 90th strike of the third hundred in the "Hisbat Al-Durour" (calculation of periods), and is considered the strongest and most violent among known strikes, lasting between four and five days. Furthermore, the strikes of "Hawitaim," "Al-Lakidhib," and "Al-Kawi" are also dangerous for seafarers, which is why Omanis timed their seasons and knew their dates through the rising of stars. Dr. Ishaq Yahya Al Shuaili, Chairman of Oman Astronomical and Space Society, stated that "Omani proverbs have preserved heritage in a simplified way that carries both humor and knowledge. For instance, the beginning of the heat's decline is accompanied by the appearance of the star Suhail, hence the saying: 'If Suhail appears, water and night cool down,' and 'When Al-Kawi appears, cut and roast the wheat,' which refers to the ripening of wheat and the time for its harvest. These and other proverbs convey astronomical heritage to generations, enveloped in years of experience and ancestral knowledge." Al Shuaili believes that the concerted efforts among various educational institutions, civil society, and entities related to science and technology, by expanding the scope of scientific activities and contributions to promote progress in the astronomy and space sectors, will enhance astronomical and space awareness among the new generation in the Sultanate of Oman, in line with the goals of the "National Space Policy." This, he said, can be achieved by integrating and developing astronomy and space sciences into curricula to introduce students to the basics of astronomy and its applications, and to connect them with space exploration at an early stage. Introducing topics such as satellites, meteorites, space robots, and human exploration missions will stimulate scientific curiosity among students at various academic levels. He explained that practical and community activities play a significant role in embodying and clarifying theoretical concepts. These include scientific astronomical observation workshops, visits to astronomical observatories, astronomical scientific competitions, astronomical summer camps, and other activities that allow participants to fully experience astronomy. He also emphasized activating the role of scientific media through the production of educational documentaries and digital content that highlight the importance of astronomy and space in our daily lives, clarify the impact and role of space applications in various fields of life, and contribute to improving essential sectors such as agriculture, communications, navigation, and disaster management. Furthermore, partnerships with specialized scientific societies and institutions in astronomy and space contribute to enhancing community education, including partnerships with scientific research centers and Oman Astronomical and Space Society, to collaborate on various scientific initiatives for the public, such as observation nights and astronomical festivals in universities and schools, he added. Within the same context, Omar Hamdan Al Hosni, a board member of Oman Astronomical and Space Society, noted that "qualifying and training teachers in astronomy and space is a strategic investment in spreading space awareness throughout society, as teachers play a crucial role in transmitting a passion for science. Therefore, qualifying them in astronomy and space, and providing them with modern educational tools, would contribute to enhancing community awareness." Al Hosni pointed out that astronomy and space sciences are undergoing a significant global transformation, with an increasing number of countries entering this field, benefiting from technological development, especially through small satellites (CubeSats) and commercial space projects. From this perspective, the Sultanate of Oman can keep pace with these transformations by adopting the "National Space Policy," which the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology has done through the "National Space Program." The National Space Policy has been adopted, focusing on supporting scientific research, developing the necessary infrastructure, and qualifying national competencies in the space sector, he pointed out. He explained that engaging in educational space projects has a significant impact on developing the local space sector, such as designing and manufacturing educational satellites in cooperation with universities in the Sultanate of Oman. This, he said, would contribute to training students in all stages of space systems, from design, manufacturing, and testing to receiving and analyzing space data. Contributing to strengthening Oman's role as a regional center for research and development in astronomy and space will empower national competencies in scientific and innovative projects, Al Hosni affirmed.
