Show abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified over 150,000 links between common genetic variants and human traits or complex diseases. Over 80% of these associations map to polymorphisms in non-coding DNA. Therefore, the challenge is to identify disease-causing variants, the genes they affect, and the cells in which these effects occur. We have developed a platform using ATAC-seq, DNaseI footprints, NG Capture-C and machine learning to address this challenge. Applying this approach to red blood cell traits identifies a significant proportion of known causative variants and their effector genes, which we show can be validated by direct in vivo modelling.

"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.
