A deep learning classifier for local ancestry inference

Date:

Preliminary results towards developing a deep convolutional neural network to predict local ancestry tracts in whole-genome sequence data. Selected as a reviewer’s choice abstract (scored by reviewers in top 10% of all poster abstracts), and presented as a Poster Talk. Now posted as an arXiv preprint.

Presented as a virtual poster at the annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG). More information here.
