Sparse coding of SNP/disease association
A new feature article in Nature about sparse coding let me wonder if we could construct also some Waddington-like picture of the SNPxSNP landscape as well as a disease traits and apply such an algorithm to that picture. I did some research but didn’t find any example exploiting that idea; maybe it’s even more useful with the current shift to full genomes?
