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
