Using the structure of genome data in the design of deep neural networks for predicting amyotrophic lateral sclerosis from genotype

Abstract excerpt

MOTIVATION: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by aberrations in the genome. While several disease-causing variants have been identified, a major part of heritability remains unexplained. ALS is believed to have a complex genetic basis where non-additive combinations of variants constitute disease, which cannot be picked up using the linear models employed in classical...
