Tissue-specific transfer learning improves functional variant and therapeutic target discoveries in breast and prostate cancer.

Abstract excerpt

DNA foundation models trained on large-scale genomic and epigenetic datasets have shown promise for regulatory variant interpretation, yet their application to tissue-specific contexts remain limited. Here, we present a transfer learning (TL) framework to adapt Enformer, a deep neural network trained on 5,313 multi-omics tracks, to breast and prostate cancer using 275 and 357 tissue-specific transcription factor...
