Variable Number Tandem Repeats mediate the expression of proximal genes

2020-05-25

Abstract excerpt

Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) account for a significant amount of human genetic variation. VNTRs have been implicated in both Mendelian and Complex disorders, but are largely ignored by whole genome analysis pipelines due to the complexity of genotyping and the computational expense. We describe adVNTR-NN, a method that uses shallow neural networks for fast read recruitment. On 55X whole genome data, adVN...
