Large-scale genome-wide association and expression quantitative trait loci studies have identified multiple noncoding variants associated with genetic diseases via affecting gene expression. However, effectively and efficiently pinpointing causal variants remains a serious challenge. Here, we developed CARMEN, a novel algorithm to identify functional noncoding expression-modulating variants. Multiple evaluations demonstrated CARMENs superior performance over state-of-the-art tools. Its higher sensitivity and low false discovery rate enable CARMEN to identify multiple causal expression-modulating variants that other tools simply missed. Meanwhile, benefitting from extensive annotations generated, CARMEN provides mechanism hints on predicted expression-modulating variants, enabling effectively characterizing functional variants involved in gene expression and disease-related phenotypes. CARMEN scales well with the massive datasets and is available online as a Web server at http://carmen.gao-lab.org.

"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.
