Deep learning models predict regulatory variants in pancreatic islets and refine type 2 diabetes association signals

Genome-wide association analyses have uncovered multiple genomic regions associated with T2D, but identification of the causal variants at these remains a challenge. There is growing interest in the potential of deep learning models - which predict epigenome features from DNA sequence - to support i...
