Genetic dissection of neuropsychiatric disorders can potentially reveal novel therapeutic targets. While genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have tremendously advanced our understanding, we approach a sample size bottleneck (i.e.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFGenomewide association studies (GWAS) have identified a large number of loci associated with neuropsychiatric traits, however, understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these loci remains difficult. To help prioritize causal variants and interpret their functions, computational methods have been developed to predict regulatory effects of non-coding variants. An emerging approach to variant annotation is deep learning models that predict regulatory functions from DNA sequences alone.
