CHOP, Penn Medicine Researchers Use Deep Learning Algorithm to Pinpoint Potential Disease-Causing Variants in Non-Coding Regions of the Human Genome
Children's Hospital of PhiladelphiaResearchers have successfully employed an algorithm to identify potential mutations which increase disease risk in the noncoding regions our DNA, which make up the vast majority of the human genome. The findings could serve as the basis for detecting disease-associated variants in a range of common diseases.
