Prioritizing non-coding regions based on human genomic constraint and sequence context with deep learning

Intolerance to variation is a strong indicator of disease relevance for coding regions of the human genome. Here, the authors present JARVIS, a deep learning method integrating intolerance to variation in non-coding regions and sequence-specific annotations to infer non-coding variant pathogenicity.
