Abstract: With over 3-5 million variants between any two human genomes it is difficult to identify and prioritize variants involved in a particular physiological condition. The problem is not trivial with 90% of variants mapping to noncoding regions, which may or may not have biological functions attributed to them. In this talk, I will discuss existing frameworks and algorithms that aid in prioritizing variants in both coding and noncoding regions and discuss the challenges we face. I will also discuss some aspects of our own work in developing classifiers to prioritize variants in certain regions of the noncoding genome.
