DNA sequence deep learning to map genome-wide genetic variants underlying complex traits and disease
Deep learning predicts genetic variant effects on DNA regulation, but scales poorly. We aim to leverage better GPU parallelisation and sub-network isolation to run inference genome-wide, boosting disease-risk prediction and heritability estimation.
