Show abstract
Despite all the work done, mapping GWAS SNPs in non-coding regions to their target genes remains a challenge. The SNP can be associated with target genes by eQTL analysis. Here we introduce a method to make these eQTLs more robust. Instead of correlating the gene expression with the SNP value like in eQTLs, we correlate it with epigenomic data. This epigenomic data is very expensive and noisy. We therefore predict the epigenomic data from the DNA sequence using the deep learning framework DeepSEA (Zhou and Troyanskaya, 2015).

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
