Deep learning models have achieved state-of-the-art performance at predicting diverse genomic modalities, yet their promise for biological discovery lies in how they are used after demonstrating their predictive performance. Here, we describe the functionality of tangermeme, a highly optimized toolkit for "everything-but-the-model" when it comes to genomic deep learning, and demonstrate how tangermeme can be used to distill the learned cis- regulatory patterns from models into human-interpretable insights.

Matching journals

The top 4 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

50% of probability mass above

"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.
