SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING MACHINE LEARNING AND DNA SEQUENCING TO EXTRACT LATENT INFORMATION FOR DNA, RNA AND PROTEIN SEQUENCES

摘要

A method of characterizing biological sequences includes: preparing a library of sequences; subjecting the sequences in the library to at least one screening experiment to obtain an experiment outcome of each of the sequences; creating a first dataset comprising identities of the sequences and the experiment outcomes of the sequences; and training a first neural network using the first dataset to extract first sequence features from the sequences in the first dataset. A second neural network may be additionally be trained using a second dataset based on an external database to generate a pre-trained model, which is used extract additional features from the first dataset.
