Genome scale analysis of pathogenic variants targetable for single base editing.

abstract：BACKGROUND:One of the tasks in the 2017 iDASH secure genome analysis competition was to enable training of logistic regression models over encrypted genomic data. More precisely, given a list of approximately 1500 patient records, each with 18 binary features containing information on specific mutations, the idea was f...
