Interpreting artificial neural networks to detect genome-wide association signals for complex traits.

Abstract excerpt

Investigating the genetic architecture of complex diseases is challenging due to the multifactorial interplay of genomic and environmental influences. Although GWAS have identified thousands of variants for multiple complex traits, conventional statistical approaches can be limited by simplified assumptions such as linearity and lack of epistasis. In this work, we trained artificial neural networks using...
