Epistasis Analysis: Classification Through Machine Learning Methods

Research output: Chapters, Conference Papers, Creative and Literary WorksRGC 12 - Chapter in an edited book (Author)peer-review

Abstract

Complex disease is different from Mendelian disorders. Its development usually involves the interaction of multiple genes or the interaction between genes and the environment (i.e. epistasis). Although the high-throughput sequencing technologies for complex diseases have produced a large amount of data, it is extremely difficult to analyze the data due to the high feature dimension and the combination in the epistasis analysis. In this work, we introduce machine learning methods to effectively reduce the gene dimensionality, retain the key epistatic effects, and effectively characterize the relationship between epistatic effects and complex diseases.
