Abstract:

Millions of genetic variants have been identified in the human genome, but it is challenging to understand the functional, clinical, and evolutionary significance of these variants. I am interested in solving this problem using computational methods. By combing state-of-the-art machine learning techniques and population genetic theory, I recently developed two novel statistical models, LINSIGHT and DeepINSIGHT, to infer deleterious genetic variants from functional and population genomic data. These new models are powerful both for prioritizing disease variants and for obtaining insights into natural selection.
