Detecting SNP markers discriminating horse breeds by deep learning.

ABSTRACT: The assignment of an individual to the true population of origin using a low-panel of discriminant SNP markers is one of the most important applications of genomic data for practical use. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of different Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) approaches consisting Deep Neural Networks (DNN), Garson and Olden methods for feature selection of informative SNP markers from high-throughput genotyping data, that would be able to trace the true breed of unknown samples. The total of 795 animals from 37 breeds, genotyped by using the Illumina SNP 50k Bead chip were used in the current study and principal component analysis (PCA), log-likelihood ratios (LLR) and Neighbor-Joining (NJ) were applied to assess the performance of different assignment methods.
