Haplotyping and copy number estimation of the highly polymorphic human beta-defensin locus on 8p23 by 454 amplicon sequencing.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Existing functional description of genes are categorical, discrete, and mostly through manual process. In this work, we explore the idea of gene embedding, distributed representation of genes, in the spirit of word embedding. RESULTS:From a pure data-driven fashion, we trained a 200-dimension vector represe...
