Lecture 16 outline: Deep Learning for Human Genetics and Disease
1. Human Genetics: Inheritance, Mendel, Fisher, SNPs, STRs, alleles
2. ‘Disease gene’ hunting: Common/rare alleles, Linkage vs. GWAS
3. Evolution/scaling of GWAS power: Sharing, inflection points
4. LD, Haplotypes, Co-inheritance, and the challenge of fine-mapping
5. Machine learning tools for variant interpretation
- Deep variant
- Eigen, FunSeq2, LINSIGHT, CADD, FATHMM, ReMM, Orion, CDTS
- DeepSEA
6. From locus to mechanism -Case study: FTO and Obesity
7. Disease mechanism inference challenges and resources
