Deep learning insights into distinct patterns of polygenic adaptation across human populations.

ABSTRACT: Response to spatiotemporal variation in selection gradients resulted in signatures of polygenic adaptation in human genomes. We introduce RAISING, a two-stage deep learning framework that optimizes neural network architecture through hyperparameter tuning before performing feature selection and prediction tasks. We tested RAISING on published and newly designed simulations that incorporate the complex interplay between demographic history and selection gradients. RAISING outperformed Phylogenetic Generalized Least Squares (PGLS), ridge regression and DeepGenomeScan, with significantly higher true positive rates (TPR) in detecting genetic adaptation. It reduced computational time by 60-fold and increased TPR by up to 28% compared to DeepGenomeScan on published data. In more complex demograp
