Computing linkage disequilibrium aware genome embeddings using autoencoders.

Abstract excerpt

MOTIVATION: The completion of the genome has paved the way for genome-wide association studies (GWAS), which explained certain proportions of heritability. GWAS are not optimally suited to detect non-linear effects in disease risk, possibly hidden in non-additive interactions (epistasis). Alternative methods for epistasis detection using, e.g. deep neural networks (DNNs) are currently under active development....
