‘Deep learning’ finds autism, cancer mutations in unexplored regions of genome

18 December 2014

Scientists have built a computer model that has uncovered disease-causing mutations in large regions of the genome that previously could not be explored. Their method seeks out mutations that cause changes in ‘gene splicing,’ and has revealed unexpected genetic determinants of autism, colon cancer and spinal muscular atrophy.
