Abstract excerpt
Understanding the relationship between genomic variation and phenotype is fundamental to deciphering the genetic architecture underlying complex traits. Yet, existing statistical models struggle to balance massive genomic datasets with biological interpretability. Here, we introduce GP-WAITER, a deep learning framework integrating GWAS-derived SNP weights into a hybrid convolutional neural network and Transformer...
