深度学习在人类基因组研究中的应用与挑战

Applications and Challenges of Deep Learning in Human Genome Research

  • 摘要: 近年来,随着高通量组学技术的发展,人类基因组数据迎来了爆炸式增长。通过海量数据挖掘人类基因组潜在作用已成为功能基因组研究的一项挑战。尽管传统统计方法在过去小规模数据分析中取得了成功,但其在分析效率、多维度数据整合方面存在明显局限,难以满足日益增长的数据分析需求。深度学习技术的引入为该领域研究提供了一个新的思路。本文系统综述了深度学习在人类基因组研究中的应用进展。研究表明,在标记数据完备的情况下,基于判别式深度学习的计算方法,如卷积神经网络(CNN)和长短记忆神经网络(LSTM)架构在基因组变异发现任务中表现出较高的准确性和效率。而基于生成式深度学习的计算方法,如大语言深度学习模型架构(LLM)有效利用自监督预训练策略实现复杂基因组信息的整合,在功能性基因组序列注释中表现优秀。此外,本文还探讨了LLM深度学习模型在多组学数据整合及预测中的应用。未来,随着长片段、高维度数据的积累,深度学习技术有望实现更复杂混合基因组信息的整合,在人类基因组研究中发挥更加重要的作用。

     

    Abstract: In recent years, the advent of high-throughput omics technologies has fueled an explosive growth in human genomic data. Uncovering the latent functions within this vast data has become a significant challenge in functional genomics research. While traditional statistical methods have proved successful for analyzing smaller-scale datasets in the past, they exhibit clear limitations in analytical efficiency and integrating multi-dimensional data, struggling to meet the escalating demands of contemporary genomic analysis. The introduction of deep learning (DL) technologies offers a novel paradigm for this field. This review systematically examines the advances in applying deep learning to human genomics research. Studies demonstrate that when ample labeled data is available, discriminative DL computational methods—such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTMs)—achieve high accuracy and efficiency in genomic variant discovery tasks. Furthermore, generative DL methods, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) leveraging self-supervised pre-training strategies, effectively integrate complex genomic information and exhibit superior performance in functional genomic sequence annotation and gene regulation studies. This review also explores the application of LLMs in multi-omics data integration and prediction. Looking ahead, the continued accumulation of long-read sequencing and high-dimensional data is expected to enable DL technologies to integrate increasingly complex and heterogeneous genomic information, playing an increasingly crucial role in human genomics research.
