Variational Inference for Large-Scale Genomic Data - CGSI 2022
Offered By: Computational Genomics Summer Institute CGSI via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Syllabus
Intro
Genome-wide association studies
GWAS does not provide causal mechanisms
Global biobanks reflect massive scale of available genome/phenome
Large-scale genomic analyses require scalable inference
Have you heard the good word of Thomas Bayes?
Variational approaches for approximate Bayesian inference I
Integrate molecular/functional information to understand disease mechanisms
Large-scale application to blood GWAS
TWAS identifies 6,236 and 116 genes for EA and AA across 15 traits
Gene sets by MA-FOCUS are more enriched for hematopoietic categories
Integrate phenome information to understand disease mechanisms
FactorGO: Factor analysis for genetic associations
FactorGO leverages information in under-powered studies
FactorGO finds greater enrichment at functionally relevant genomic annotations
