Gene regulation is tightly regulated in healthy human development but frequently dysregulated in disease. RNA -seq has become ubiquitous for assaying the transcriptome: the collection of messenger RNA molecules expressed from the genes of an organism. However, significant computational and statistical challenges remain to translate the resulting noisy, confounded RNA -seq data into meaningful understanding of the biological system or disease state under consideration. I will describe our use of probabilistic models, deep learning and convex optimization to address such challenges.
