There is a significant unsolved problem about how non-coding DNA regulates gene expression in many cell types, and important downstream applications in human genetics rely on improved solutions. Enformer is a deep learning architecture that can incorporate data from long-distance interactions (up to 100 kb apart) in the genome. Predicting the impact of genetic variations on cell-type-specific gene expression is a key objective of this app.
Example use case: Variant effect prediction
Technology: Neural Network, Transformers
Limitation: Pretrained models created based on human and mouse genomes only.
Metrics: Some metrics related to research can be found here.
