Abstract excerpt
A gene is considered essential if loss of function results in loss of viability, fitness or in disease. This concept is well established for coding genes; however, non-coding regions are thought less likely to be determinants of critical functions. Here we train a machine learning model using functional, mutational and structural features, including new genome essentiality metrics, 3D genome organization and...
