Project Details
Description
Because natural languages and genetic sequences share structural similarities, natural language processing techniques are applied to predict the disease risk associated with non-coding variants.
Layman's description
As DNA works a bit like a human language, language-processing tools are used to figure out if certain changes in DNA might lead to disease.
