Human 5' UTR design and variant effect prediction from a massively parallel translation assay

Update: This paper has now been published at Nature Biotechnology. “Human 5’ UTR design and variant effect prediction from a massively parallel translation assay” by Paul J. Sample, Ban Wang, David W. Reid, Vlad Presnyak, Iain McFadyen, David R. Morris, and Georg Seelig. https://doi.org/10.1101/310375 I selected this article for review for two reasons: I am excited to learn about applications of massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs). I have a general interest in methods that use deep learning (in this case convolutional neural networks) with genomic data. »
